GOP senator says Obama aimed to ‘kiss the ring’ of Trump at Carter funeral

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) characterized former President Obama’s interaction with President-elect Trump at the National Cathedral Thursday as an effort to “kiss the ring” of the incoming commander in chief.

“I mean it’s about a redemption story, right? I mean, the greatest political comeback of all times,” Mullin said of the Republican on an appearance of “The Benny Show.”

“What you see right there is Barack Obama realizing it and realize that he kind of probably should kiss the ring, because President Trump is the most popular man in the world and probably the most popular man in our lifetime around the world, and everybody recognizes that now,” he told host Benny Johnson.

The world watched in surprise as the two exchanged pleasantries while attending the funeral of former President Carter.

As far as I’m concerned Obama can kiss something else.

Kissing the ring is a nice overture, but Obama needs to go to Mara-a-Lago and bend the knee properly.

Because Trump could turn the DOJ loose on 0bama and Holder over Fast and Furious planned deaths.

Trump should be careful, if he lets Obama kiss his ring he might get residue from Satan’s asshole on his ring.

Nah.

It's a small club, and the members usually get along with each other quite well.

My take is that Obama will chitchat as he’s stabbing you in the back. He acted “friendly” this way during Trump first inauguration, all while knowing the plan started behind the scenes to wreck Trump’s first term with lawfare etc. He’s a demon extraordinaire.

We are beyond lucky that the Dems stole the 2020 Election.

Heard Bush put out his hand then withdrew it and put up his thumb and motioned over his shoulder, like he learned in 3rd grade. (kidding-—sort of).

This! It's all fear that Kash is about to lift the rocks and expose all the squirming corruption underneath of the past fifteen years.

I read their interaction differently. Obama walked past Trump & Melania and shook hands with everyone seated behind him. Then, he sat down next to Trump. Then, they started talking. Wish I could hear that conversation.
