Obama Unleashes Scathing Attack on Trump in Virginia and New Jersey Rally
The 44th POTUS took Donald Trump & his billionaire pals to task today in a rare display of political pugilism.
Which made it look a lot like 2008 today for barack Obama on cable news – with some Bernie Sanders and AOC thrown in.
In a final weekend push for Democrats gubernatorial candidates in Virginia and New Jersey, Obama tore into Trump with a ferocity rarely seen in public by the ex-POTUS in almost 20 years.
“IS like every day is Halloween, accept it’s all tricks and no treats,” a clearly pumped Obama told a packed rally in Norfolk, VA of the scarring effects and “dangers to democracy” of Trump’s second term.
Coming the day after Halloween, with polling leading contender Abigail Spanberger on-stage, the usually circumspect ex-president took a tone and approach that mainly leaderless Democrats have been pleading for over the months as Trump and his MAGA gang returned to the White House. Carried live on MSNBC, CNN and C-Span, and referred to on Fox News, Obama’s speech in Virginia was followed in the last hour by more remarks in Newark NJ, where Rep. Mikie Sherrill has a razor thin lead over Republican Jack Ciattarelli.
No surprise, MSNBC and CNN went live to that New Jersey speech by Obama, which started off with the Trump bashing statement that “our country and our politics are in a pretty dark place right now.” To cheers and crowd howls of love.
