Barack Obama Urges More Street Protests, Blames Trump for Minneapolis ShootingNeil Munro 25 Jan 2026
Former President Barack Obama is urging Americans to “support and draw inspiration” from the aggressive, Antifa-style provoke-blame-escalate street campaign in Minnesota against federal law enforcement that has led to the deaths of two Americans.
“Every American should support and draw inspiration from the wave of peaceful protests in Minneapolis,” Obama wrote in a statement Sunday.
Obama wrapped his call for nationwide action against the federal government in a tone of regret, and he portrayed the street protests as defensive measures against a tyrannical government:
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
Federal law enforcement and immigration agents have a tough job, but Americans expect them to carry out their duties in a lawful, accountable way, and to work with, rather than against, state and local officials to ensure public safety. That’s not what we’re seeing in Minnesota. In fact, we’re seeing the opposite.
Three paragraphs in, Obama’s tone shifts to emulate the far-left radicals — including Antifa. Those radicals — who are backed by many radical Democrats — are engaging in massive resistance and military-style obstruction of the lawful enforcement of popular federal laws, including both migration laws and laws against welfare fraud.
