Obama is either incredibly gullible, or he is more than happy to repeat a debunked hoax for political purposes.
“I thought that there were enough guardrails institutionally that even after Trump was elected that you would have the so-called Republican establishment who would say okay, you know, it’s a problem if the White House isn’t — doesn’t seem to be concerned about Russian meddling, or it’s a problem if we have a president who is saying neo-Nazis are marching in Charlottesville, there are good people on both sides."–Barrack Obama, 6/7/2021
For background see:
Curiously, the rise of BLM rhetoric coincides with an increase in anti-Semitic attacks and anti-Asian attacks from Black suspects. Has President Obama ever condemned the racist idea that (only) Black lives matter?
Liberals need to call out anti-semitism when the perpetrators aren’t white supremacists and lately they have not been. Anything else is simply playing politics with Jewish lives.
To me, this is one of the problems with identity politics; what do you do when one identity turns on the other? The GOP is having issues with it as well.
Most people are so married to their identity that when the truth hits them in the face and the truth contradicts that identity’s narrative they’ll just say “To hell with the truth”
