Former President Barack Obama in a CNN interview on Monday expressed concerns about the current state of American democracy and criticized the Republican Party for embracing Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election.
“We have to worry when one of our major political parties is willing to embrace a way of thinking about our democracy that would be unrecognizable and unacceptable even five years ago or a decade ago,” Obama told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
Republicans have been “cowed into accepting” Trump-led conspiracy theories that the race was rigged, which culminated in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, he said.
During the 2020 campaign, several Republican lawmakers spread falsehoods about the election and eventually challenged the results in Congress, mere hours after a violent pro-Trump mob laid siege to the Capitol.
“I didn’t expect that there would be so few people who would say: ‘Well, I don’t mind losing my office because this is too important. America is too important. Our democracy is too important,'” Obama said. “We didn’t see that.”
Obama added that he never thought the “dark spirits” he witnessed forming within the GOP over his two terms as president — such as “xenophobia, anti-intellectualism, paranoid conspiracy theories, [and] an antipathy toward Black and brown folks” — would take over the party.
The nerve of this luciferian creep..lying deceptive hypocrite. Remember luciferians twist truths 180..his soul and spirt are black as satan heart his true master.

Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.You will know them by their fruits.
@1:09 you’re exactly right
That turd is the evil that tried to destroy the country!
Worse than President Carter – whom I have actually gained respect for since he left office!
Joe is saying hold my beer – I wanna be the worst!
This failure sure see’s Dark Spirits each time the SOB looks at his image. That black divider doesn’t get any darker. He has never been relevant and needs to shut his nasty mouth. I think he is more jealous of President Donald J Trump than the failed fat candidate that Trump embarrassed. She or it thought it was a done deal, that it would be in the Oval Office where her spouse embarrassed us with a stain.
the Democratic party is the most dark and evil group ever but they think its normal
Obama is the dark spirit the Arab son of Hussein who fooled BLM and all is followers. This is why his birth certificate was NEVER produced. He is pushing the left the squad & all of them to do his bidding. He is just like his twin from another mother Hillary they never give up it is all about them & the media coverage.
if anyone still thinks Obama is someone they have to be dumber than a turd
What a contemptible POS.
I never thought Communists would take over the Democratic party, but they have.
This is coming from the HYPOCRITE that lied about his religion, his citizenship, his place of birth must I go on. This is the MUSLIM way to be deceitful and mind control of the weak. He brought MUSLIMS into the US government and Pushing Biden and the Democrats to indoctrinate the FACIST /MARXIST doctrine.
So who started and is pushing the “DARK SPIRTS” doctrine into the US politics.
ALL the Dark Spirits are in the Democrat Party !!!!!
He and his wife(husband?) are the two darkest spirits I know. They are evil, biased, bigoted, racist POS!
So says the Dark Spirit most worthless POS ever to flap a jaw
