Obama is set to speak about the riots and peaceful protests erupting around the country after George Floyd’s homicide.
According to CNN, Obama will be speaking for his “My Brother’s Keeper Alliance Town Hall” series.
Don’t worry, it is not going to be just Obama that is speaking for this very staged mini-series for profit and fame, he has invited corrupt former Attorney General Eric Holder and other activists that yell fake-outrage-for-profit at us.
From CNN:
“Former President Barack Obama plans to address in a virtual town hall tonight the death of George Floyd, stressing the importance of “ensuring that this moment becomes one for real change, and that we can turn protest into policy,” according to an Obama aide.
Those comments will mark Obama’s first time addressing Floyd’s death on camera (via Zoom). In recent days, he has addressed the topic on social media as well as a lengthy Medium post, where he condemned police brutality and called for political solutions to address protesters’ grievances about criminal justice.
Following opening remarks at the event tonight, Obama will participate in a panel discussion, which the aide said is expected to center on policing reform and other issues related to law enforcement.
The town hall tonight is at 5 p.m. ET and is hosted by My Brother’s Keeper Alliance, a program of the Obama Foundation.”
Obama and Biden have been vocal in their disgust at what happened to George Floyd. This disgust does seem out of character for the former President and Vice President though, as these two had eight years in office and did not manage a single policy change to help the black community.
In fact, it seems as if having Obama and Biden in office caused an even deeper divide both socially and politically.
People will fall all over Obama’s address today, and it will be nauseating to watch. The good news is that he is no longer in power. No matter how hard he tries to make it look like he can make decisions, he is just like you and me now. He can vote and donate money, but that is all he can legally do to change the system.
It can’t be a coincidence that Obama wants to speak today of all days as they started the hearings on the illegal FISA abuse that the Obama administration committed. The Democrats are famous for committing crimes and then distracting the people with flowery, seemingly-poignant, empty words that will cause an outpouring of love and adoration.
This is nothing more than a media stunt to make a profit both socially and financially.
