Gaslight: Obama blames Trump for anti-Semitic surge
By Monica Showalter

Leftists like to project their sins on others, and former President Obama has a doozy:

According to the Washington Examiner:

    Former President Barack Obama appeared to fault former President Donald Trump for a recent rise in antisemitic incidents throughout the United States.
     
    In an email interview with Jewish Insider, published on Monday, Obama spoke about "negative and divisive trends" in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, which led to multiple deaths and created a political shockwave in the country. The 44th president, who referenced a speech he gave at the Embassy of Israel in his last year in office, appeared to suggest Trump's time in the White House led to a rise in anti-Jewish hate.
     
    "When I gave that speech, it was clear that anti-Semitism was on the rise around the world," Obama wrote. "People’s anger over everything from immigration to inequality was boiling over — and many of them were looking for someone else to blame. And for four years, we had a President in the White House who fanned those flames."
     
    "So while I never anticipated what happened at the Capitol on January 6th, some of the negative and divisive trends that we’ve seen at home and around the world have contributed to a rise in anti-Semitism and other forms of hate," he added. "In many cases, I’ve been pleased to see these acts of hate countered by far larger expressions of solidarity. People are recognizing that we all have a responsibility to stand together against bigotry and violence, to not be silent but there will always be a need for vigilance against anti-Semitism."

I didn't see any Jewish-supporting marches of solidarity from Obama's leftists after the wave of sick anti-Semitic attacks on Jews in New York, Boca Raton or Los Angeles, did you? Where was the marching? Where was the looting?
 
Fact is, there wasn't any, because the Democrats have been in bed with anti-Semites for a long, long time.

We once had a president who for 8 years fanned the flames of black hate towards whites.  His one lasting accomplishment from that time was he was able to set race relations back 50 years.

The only way Trump could have possibly fanned the flames was by being pro-Israel, which in turn, would have angered the anti-Semites even more than they were already.
But he himself didn't cause anti-Semitism to rise or get more violent.
The anti-Semites took it upon themselves to react the way they have.
Israel is a friend and an ally, and should be able to count on the United States for support.
Also, Obama does not even acknowledge the Abraham Accords, which went out the window the moment Biden stepped into the White House.

I'll expect horns to spring from this lying anti-semitic POS's forehead any day now.

Barack Obama Reminds Everyone He's a Disingenuous Hack

Barack Obama is back in the public eye, having recently sat down with CNN to rattle off his list of grievances against the Republican Party. In his typical smarmy fashion, he managed to pretend that the GOP is trying to “rig the game” of elections by having (gasp!) general standards at the state level. You see, if you can’t vote three months in advance by handing your ballot to a harvester, do you really have the right to vote?

Obama also weighed in on the cultural battle surrounding the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools. Here was his response.
