Things I didn’t expect to read today: former President Barack Obama criticizing progressive Democrat policies and the havoc they’ve wrought on our cities. Yet there he was, appearing on YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen’s podcast posted Monday, saying that the Los Angeles homelessness problem is “morally — ethically speaking… an atrocity.”
Newsflash, Barry — conservatives have been trying to tell that to you and your Democrat friends for years. Nice of you to weigh in now:
“I think it is morally — ethically speaking — it is an atrocity that in a country this wealthy, we have people just on the streets, and we should insist on policies that recognize their full humanity — people who are houseless — and be able to provide them with the help and resources that they need,” Obama said.
“We should recognize that the average person doesn’t want to have to navigate around a tent city in the middle of downtown,” he added. “That’s a losing political strategy.”
No lie, Sherlock.
Unfortunately, for sane Californians, that “losing” strategy has not impeded LA Mayor Karen Bass and CA Gov. Gavin Newsom from destroying the state, because somehow they keep managing to get elected.
