Shaniqua McClendon runs ‘Crooked Media’ the group behind the ‘Pod Save America’ podcast, which options the previous Obama staffers generally known as the ‘Obama Bros.’
She just lately appeared on MSNBC and urged that Obama needs to be extra lively and vocal as a former president. She went as far as to counsel that Obama ought to maintain a press convention and reply each time that President Trump says or does one thing ‘loopy.’
McClendon might not notice it however her feedback exhibit how completely misplaced the Democrats are as a celebration. Obama has been out of workplace for nearly a decade, and right here she is pleading with him to step in with a digital shadow presidency to avoid wasting them from Trump. In ten years, Democrats have been unable to supply a pacesetter who can command consideration from the media or the general public as Obama did.
As an alternative of recognizing this as one of many essential issues for his or her occasion, McClendon and different Democrats merely need to flip again the clock and return to the times when Obama led them.
Jason Cohen of the Every day Caller captured this second on Twitter/X and pulls a few of her quotes within the phase:
“I feel if we’re in a second of disaster — and when you’ve ever led this nation — you need to nonetheless care about this nation sufficient to be on the market.”
“I’ve had this loopy thought that if each time Donald Trump did one thing loopy or stated one thing loopy, Barack Obama ought to have like a press convention or one thing.”
“Most Democrats aren’t Barack Obama. They will’t command consideration the way in which he can.”
“We’re in a extremely dire scenario.”
For those who watch the complete clip beneath, you’ll discover that at one level, McClendon says: “Our rights are being taken away each day.” Actually? Which rights are being taken away? That’s precisely the type of insane rhetoric that the left spouts continually with zero pushback from the media.
