Former President Obama campaigned for Democratic candidates in Wisconsin and he didn’t hold anything back while slamming Trump and the GOP.
Obama said, “The problem that they were scaring you about is suddenly magically gone. You never hear about it again, so let me kind of just run through this to jog your memory. In the 2010 midterms, it was government bureaucrats are going to kill your grandma. Remember death panels? Just made it up, but that was a thing. 2014. Ebola’s going to kill all of us. Remember that? In the last election, it was Hillary’s emails. This is terrible. Hillary’s emails. We were hearing Hillary’s emails everywhere. This is a national security crisis. They didn’t care about Hillary’s emails, and you know how you know? Because if they did, they’d be up in arms right now as the Chinese are listening to the president’s iPhone that he leaves in his golf cart.” It turns out, I guess it wasn’t that important…Now, they’re the latest thing. They’re trying to convince everybody to be scared of a bunch of impoverished malnourished refugees a thousand miles away.”

Obama was in amazing form, and the great thing about is campaign stop is that everything that the former president said was true. Trump can parade around the country with his rallies of lies, but as his venues and crowds get smaller, the thirst for truth is growing. America needs a truth teller and Barack Obama is an oasis in a desert of Trump lies.
