On Wednesday, Breitbart<\/a> posted an article about a recent statement by former President Barack Obama. The headline of the article is “Obama Implies Trump to Blame for Charlie Kirk Assassination: \u2018Extreme Views Were Not in My White House.\u2019” Wow! Talk about not reading the room.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Obama was interviewed onstage by Steve Scully at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pennsylvania.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He mourned Kirk\u2019s death, saying it was \u201chorrific,\u201d but made sure to recite an (inaccurate) laundry list of Kirk\u2019s more controversial statements, including a false claim<\/a> that Kirk claimed black women were stupid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama then said that Trump wanted to use Kirk\u2019s assassination as \u201ca rationale for trying to silence discussion around who we are as a country and what direction we should go.\u201d He then claimed that when he had been in the White House, \u201cthose extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn\u2019t embracing them. I wasn\u2019t empowering them. I wasn\u2019t putting the weight of the United States government behind extremist views.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact, it was Obama who inaugurated an era of division and extremism. On the campaign trail in 2008, he encouraged his supporters to confront friends and neighbors, and \u201cargue with them, get in their face.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

As president, Obama backed<\/a> the violent Occupy Wall Street protests. Most significantly, he fanned the Trayvon Martin controversy into a racially divisive crisis, turning to radical Al Sharpton \u2014 a demagogue so toxic that Obama had once refused to have anything to do with him, until he needed black support. Obama also embraced<\/a> the destructive Black Lives Matter movement, which would go on to cause nationwide chaos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article reminds us:<\/p>\n

In his remarks on Tuesday, Obama also praised moderate Republicans as an alternative to Trump, such as Utah Gov. Spencer Cox \u2014 forgetting that he had spurned even moderate Republicans like Paul Ryan. When Ryan, then the chair of the House Budget Committee, proposed reforming entitlements, Obama invited Ryan to a speech on the subject, and then condemned him, to his face.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Obama later said<\/a> he regretted doing so, and that he did not realize Ryan would actually be in the room. But today Obama shows no such contrition about contributing to a toxic political climate in which the left, more than the right, feels violence can be justified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

President Obama began his political career as a community organizer. He never really left that role.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
