Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi: Barack Obama deserves an apology for false wiretap claims

[bigtree]

Joe Biden said former President Barack Obama deserved an apology from President Donald Trump for alleging Obama and his administration wiretapped Trump Towers during the 2016 presidential election.

Trump accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower in a Twitter rant in early March. Obama denied the claim via a spokesperson, and FBI Director James Comey has testified that there was no evidence linking the Obama administration to surveillance of Trump in the days leading up to the election.

After speaking at a Democratic rally celebrating the seven-year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act on Capitol Hill Wednesday, the former vice president told reporters that he thought “any gentleman would” apologize for making such inaccurate claims...

In a statement, House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi said Trump should apologize not only to Obama but the American people as well.

“President Trump has been desperate to distract attention from the FBI investigation into the Kremlin’s grip on his administration. Director Comey’s testimony put the last nail into President Trump’s mendacious wiretapping claims. President Trump owes President Obama and the American people an apology for his disgraceful and incendiary fabrications.” she said.

1. If Pres. Obama could sue them

he should if he could sort of thing.

Disgusting and to just walk away without even a slap on the wrist?

9. He's busy surfing, etc. But, it is a slam dunk and could force discovery, what fun.

2. Keep after this until President Trump apologizes

I know a lot of people will say to let it go, everyone knows that Trump pops off without thinking. No. He's the President, and the President needs to be held responsible for what he says. This isn't a game, it isn't a negotiation, it isn't a reality show. It's the presidency of the United States, an office that has seen the likes of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Obama, some of the greatest citizens our nation has ever produced. Trump can't degrade this office with his temper tantrums and not be held responsible.

5. dt apologize? That won't happen.

He's a bloviating know-it-all who still thinks he has control, or appears to think that, evidence to the contrary.

And his hate for Obama is evident for whatever reason: successful, black, class. Who knows?

6. Naturally

But keep bringing it up until he does. President Trump owes Obama an apology, bigly. Keep the story alive, keep embarrassing him and his supporters. He'll never apologize, but that doesn't mean we should stop demanding one.

7. That's a very good point. A gentleman would apologize, so my hopes are dashed. nt

3. it'll be freezing in hell

before that motherfucker apologizes. he is constitutionally incapable of remorse, humility, and any other adult human emotion that would allow him to actually atone for his bad acts. don't forget he's the one who bragged about sexually abusing women and acting like a fucking pervert at his beauty pageants. he bragged about it.

4. I'm not certain Trump will be able to indefinitely maintain these charges

...there might come a time where Mr. Obama takes legal steps to clear his name.

8. i'd love that

i'd rather my tax dollars went to the obamas.
