Tucker Carlson calls Obama 'one of the sleaziest and most dishonest figures' in US political history

Tucker Carlson described former President Obama as "one of the sleaziest and most dishonest figures in the history of American politics" after his eulogy at the funeral of civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) on Thursday.

Carlson, who also described the former president as "a greasy politician" for calling on Congress to pass a new Voting Rights Act and to eliminate the filibuster, which Obama described as a relic of the Jim Crow era that disenfranchised Black Americans, in order to do so.

"Barack Obama, one of the sleaziest and most dishonest figures in the history of American politics, used George Floyd's death at a funeral to attack the police," Carlson said before showing a segment of Obama's remarks.

Obama gave lengthy remarks about Lewis at Thursday's funeral, but the part that got the most attention was his vehement push for Congress to pass a new Voting Rights Act, which was an issue that Lewis had pursued. The Supreme Court in 2013 struck down the heart of the 1965 law, allowing nine states, mostly in the South, to change their voting laws without federal approval.

Methinks this projectionist is jealous he's not as popular as Obama.

They'd realize the enormous amount of propaganda they'd been fed over the years...such as this.

This can't be a surprise to anyone. Knowing what kind of people watch his show, who would expect him not to say this?

and Obama in particular. It works with their target audience and feeds their prejudices. Just like Orwell's 1984's 2 minutes of hate.

What you say is so far from the truth it is ridiculous. Of course your brain-dead cult members will eat it up with a spoon, but you know that you are lying and we all know that you are lying. You are such a pathetic, whiny little beyotch, racist and sexist pig, I am amazed nobody has tried to punch your lights out yet. You are one of the reasons that this country is going down the tubes. Do the world a favor and resign, you worthless POS!

What bothered you the most? The way Trump looks like a buffoon by comparison? Or that Trump just looks like a buffoon, period?
