Former President Barack Obama recently resurfaced with all the grace of a bat out of hell, delivering a closing pitch for Vice President Kamala Harris in Milwaukee. In a classic display of political misdirection, he decided to whip out the long-debunked “very fine people” trope that has served as the liberal rallying cry for years. Apparently, Obama believes that recycling old falsehoods can somehow bolster the struggling image of Harris, who is busy trying to convince voters she is more than just a secondary character in a poorly-written political drama.
Contrary to Obama’s portrayal, President Trump did not cozy up to “Holocaust deniers” during his infamous invitation extended to Kanye West. The timing was a bit off for West, who had not completely broadcast his views at the time of the visit, which is more of a problem for West than for Trump. Subsequently bringing along Nick Fuentes, a name that even rabid political watchers might struggle to recognize, didn’t help matters, yet they both seemed to raise more eyebrows than the former president did with his latest attempt at shock value.

However, the biggest whopper from Obama’s Milwaukee monologue involved the rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Contrary to the narrative he pushes, the day was not simply a showcase for white supremacists looking to display their hate. It began as a contentious gathering centered on the preservation of a Confederate statue—historically significant or not, that’s to be debated—until it was hijacked by nefarious characters on both sides, including loads of Antifa thugs who brought their own brand of chaos. In a statement many in the mainstream media overlook, Trump clarified that his remarks about “very fine people” pertained to the non-violent demonstrators, all while denouncing the actual neo-Nazis and white supremacists in no uncertain terms.
It’s truly astonishing that a former president could choose to be so willfully ignorant, nodding along to fabrications that have been debunked countless times. The myth of the “very fine people” continues to be trotted out like a trusty steed, even though it has been thoroughly shown to be one of the most significant political falsehoods of recent memory. One has to wonder if Obama simply forgets or if he is banking on the short memory of the general populace, which wouldn’t be surprising.
The persistent use of this dead horse only serves to highlight the depths to which the Democrats will sink in an attempt to demonize their opponents. With narratives meticulously crafted to suit their agenda, they seem content to ignore the truth if it means achieving a fleeting political advantage. It’s a sign of the times, and one can only hope that voters see through these tricks as they head to the polls.
