Former first lady Michelle Obama posted a message to her social media accounts lamenting about how the last couple of months of the year have been âdifficult,â which appeared to be a reference to the outcome of the November election.
Others ripped the former president for what they saw as blatant hypocrisy as he accused members of the Republican Party of doing things that Democrats have done when they are in power, such as âweaponizingâ the Justice Department and âpoliticizingâ the military.
âPluralism depends on everyone following a certain set of rules,â Obama said during the speech. âWhat happens when the other side has repeatedly and abundantly made clear they are not interested in playing by the rules?â
âThere are going to be times potentially when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in [pause] a permanent grip on power,â Obama said at one point, as he appeared to realize in mid-sentence that he was treading closely to exposing himself and his partyâs future political plans.
âEither by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the Armed Forces, or using the judiciary, criminal justice system to go after opponents,â he continued. âAnd pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and say, âwell, Iâm not sure thatâs OK,ââ he continued. âIn those circumstances, a line has been crossed, and we have to stand firm and speak out and organize.â
Several people took to social media to call out Obamaâs rhetoric, much of which sounded to them a lot like what the outgoing Biden-Harris administration did.
Former âHerculesâ actor Kevin Sorbo said that Obama â[a]lmost broke character for a sec.â
Conservative media figure Collin Rugg responded to Sorbo by noting that the âpause was telling.â
Obama reportedly had a big hand â along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi â in forcing President Joe Biden to abandon his reelection bid following his horrific June debate with now-President-elect Donald Trump.
Actor George Clooney, a close friend of the 44th president, is reportedly angry at the 44th president and feeling used after he wrote an op-ed over the summer encouraging Biden to step down.
âGeorge is furious with Obama for disappearing after the election disaster and leaving him holding the bag for pushing the plan with his Hollywood pals,â an unnamed entertainment industry source close to the A-list actor told RadarOnline in December.
