Victor Davis Hanson: No Politicking at a Funeral? Not for Obama

The podcast addresses Barack Obama's alleged history of politicizing memorial services, particularly his speeches at the funerals of John McCain, John Lewis, and Jesse Jackson. It argues that Obama consistently uses these occasions to promote his political agenda and criticize his opponents, particularly Donald Trump. The speaker contends that Obama's calls for unity are hypocritical, given his past divisive rhetoric on issues like race and class. Obama's actions as president, such as politicizing the IRS and allegedly pressuring intelligence agencies to find evidence of Russian collusion, are cited to further support the claim that Obama's criticisms lack credibility. The construction of Obama's library in Chicago is presented as a symbol of his ego and detachment from the concerns of ordinary Americans.
