Obama To Republicans: I Didn't Create Trump, Your Bigotry Toward Me Did

[YoungDemCA]

In this clip, President Obama destroys the absurd narrative that somehow he's to blame for the rise of Donald Trump and the implosion of the Republican Party. Our noble president has been blamed by Republicans for pretty much everything that's gone wrong over the past eight years, while all of his accomplishments are tarnished and discounted - but even this is a stretch.

“I have been blamed by Republicans for a lot of things, but being blamed for their primaries and who they’re selecting for their party is novel” said the President at a press conference today, undoubtly holding back a roll of his eyes. "don’t think that I was the one to prompt questions about my birth certificate… I don’t remember saying, ‘Hey, why don’t you ask me about that? Why don’t you, you know, question whether I’m American or whether I’m loyal or whether I have America’s best interests at heart. Those aren’t things that were prompted by any actions of mine. And so what you’re seeing within the Republican Party is to some degree all those efforts over a course of time, creating an environment where somebody like a Donald Trump can thrive.

Well said, Mr. President.

1. They're the most unaccountable people in the country

Always someone else's fault. It's one of the reasons why they can be so hard to talk to, when you try.

Of course, a celebrity salesman has to know his audience/customers.

This should be the 'sucker punch' that ended a candidacy. You might think so.

YoungDemCA: I think this is very important for people here to read. If it's not too much trouble would you mind posting it in General Discussion? Or would you mind if I post it there?

Thanks very much for this wonderful post!

11. Well they never put the blame where it truly lies

It's their MO to find a scapegoat for their bigotry, but that's ridiculous even for them.
