Former President Barack Obama took a dig at Hispanic Americans who voted for President Trump, saying they looked past his inflammatory rhetoric and immigration policies because they were aligned on social issues.
The 44th commander-in-chief made the remarks during a wide-ranging interview with “The Breakfast Club” radio program Wednesday while discussing what he hoped Democrats would take away from part one of his memoir “A Promised Land,” released earlier this month.
“Those of us who live in DC or New York or LA,” Obama argued, sometimes lack “a good enough sense of how big this country is and how a lot of folks do not accept at all” policies that people living in larger metropolitan areas take for granted.
The former president turned to the topic of Hispanics who voted for Trump as an example.
“People were surprised about a lot of Hispanic folks who voted for Trump, but there’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, you know, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts detainees, undocumented workers in cages. They think that’s less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion,” he explained.
President-elect Joe Biden lost the state of Florida to Trump, whose performance with Hispanics in Miami-Dade County carried him to victory in the Sunshine State.
In the end, it’s what you do for people, not what you promise them.
Is this the same rube with the Curious George ears who had the Presidency handed to him because he was black and screwed it up with black persuasion and hand-outs for them and all the other bastards who is too damn lazy to work?
Yes, Wow he did a hell of a Job…..NOT. Him and Bidumb have the prize for being the TWO biggest dumb-asses that ever walked into the White House.
Whatever the Hell he was supposed to have done is in the three Stooges yearbooks along with Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon and all the rest of the Democratic head cases the damn fool voters put in office. Anyone can solve this riddle because after years of F^&*k-ups, they can’t wait to vote them OUT.
I’m glad the bastard is GONE and his requiem to a LOSER book was a worst seller only bought by blacks. Don’t tell me him and his transvestite wife were great Americans when the lies started at the onset ,’ NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE’.
Cough that up all you worshipers.
Why do we have to hear soooo much from Obama he is a former president not the current president and no one cares what he has to say he is the USA’s biggest Hypocrite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
