Former President Barack Obama nearly came unhinged on Monday as he railed at former President Donald Trump following his highly successful rally on Saturday at Madison Square Garden.
In particular, Obama echoed other complaints from the left regarding a joke about Puerto Rico told by insult comedian Tony Hinchcliffe in which he referred to the country as a “floating island of garbage.”
Following the left’s outrage, several X users posted factual accounts and references to the island’s chronic battle with trash, complete with photos.Nevertheless, Obama resorted to what he does best — stoking division and hatred among various groups of Americans during a speech on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris in Philadelphia, all while claiming to be an agent of ‘unity’:Donald Trump wants us to think that this country is hopelessly divided between us and them – between the, quote “real Americans” who support him, of course, and the outsiders who don’t – ‘the enemies within.’ Because, what did I say about booing? Vote. Because, because Donald Trump understands – and he’s not wrong about this – that, that dividing people, making them angry, will boost his chances of being elected. It’s not good for the country
Harris continued the divisive language during her closing speech at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., Tuesday evening.
“In less than 90 days, either Donald Trump or I will be in the Oval Office. On day one, if elected, Donald Trump would walk into that office with an enemies list,” she said, echoing another familiar myth that Trump will use the Justice Department the way she and President Biden have used it against him
