Jeanine Pirro Points the Finger at Obama: 'You, Barack, You Elected Donald Trump'


by Tamar Auber | Sep 8th, 2018, 9:25 pm

Judge Jeanine Pirro dedicated her opening statement on Saturday night to a lengthy bashing of former President Barack Obama.

Calling Obama’s campaign speech hammering President Donald Trump “a full-throttle savage attack on the president” Pirro ripped apart Obama’s Trump criticism point by point from his claim that Trump is “capitalizing on resentments politicians have been fanning for years” to his statement, “How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad.”

Yet, her most scathing words were reserved for his claims about social justice and the cost of Obama’s lying ways.

“Your version of America is not the America we want,” Pirro said. “To us, social justice is about justice for American citizens and not illegal criminals. To us social justice is about taking care of veterans who come back to our shores with fewer limbs than when they left. To us, social justice is not about burning our flag, it’s about raising it and lifting it.”

She then pointed fingers at Obama for getting Trump elected: “I am sorry to say this, but there is one thing your gonna have to live with, the only reason that we have an outsider businessman president is because of you, your lies, your policies, and your divisiveness. You, Barack, you elected Donald Trump. And there is nothing you can do about the fact that he’s sitting in the Oval Office now.”

She then snarked, “So I guess I should say, thank you, Barack.”

Conservative propaganda elected Donald trump by amplifying white identity and racism to get votes for GOP billionaires.

Pirro is a tool of that propaganda machine.

They will acknowledge that Trump deceived them only if they can state that "it was Obama's fault".
As Republicans, they will never accept responsibility for any action they take that puts them in the tank.

No dear. We have an “outsider businessman president” who couldn’t run a lemonade stand profitably because James Comey’s stupid “we’re reopening the email investigation” lie threw the election to him.

And don’t worry: when Real America finally gets fed up with not being able to sell its crops because Mr. Russia pissed off the entire world, and they start convening firing squads...you’ll be very high on their to-do list.

And what's with the belittling by calling him by his first name, does she do that w/Trump?

Hey Pirro lady, it is normal political cycles,

we have a law abiding democracy.
You need to stay away from too much booze and sober up.

The simple fact we elected a black man to the white house made so many racist assholes crazy that they put Trump in as a way to say F you to all the brown people.

In the short term, it is painful, but long term, it will be much easier to root these idiots out of our society now that they've come out of the shadows.

It's different from the Hillary bashing as there was a number of things that could be legitimately bashed. However, with Obama having no scandals, killing Bin-Laden and just being cool, they are down to calling him snobby and conceited. And the weird thing is that Obama did complain about both parties but yet the GOP missed everything except that he's calling today's government dysfunctional. Much like Nixon, I think people will have selected memory loss when Trump is out of the WH and the full extent of his dismantling of the government is discovered.
