Sure, there was a lot of yelling, mostly from the right-wing.

But Obama wasn't out at rallies telling his many supporters (many MORE supporters) to beat up a reporter.

That was a contentious time... but Obama wasn't calling other Americans "the enemy" all the time.

Doesn't fly, Newt. The difference now is the man at the top. Used to be a cultured, educated, softspoken, kind man who cared about other people.

Now it's Trump.
