Barack Obama just threw a public hissy fit after his candidate lost the presidential election in an embarrassing landslide defeat.
From Breitbart: Former President Barack Obama on Thursday claimed the moral high ground by cautioning “one side” of politics is going to “stack the deck” by stealing elections and politicize the U.S. government.
He declined to name which specific party should be attributed with those anti-democratic principles but added they should be opposed.
In a speech at the third annual Obama Foundation Democracy Forum in Chicago, Illinois, the 63-year-old called for a renewed commitment to pluralist ethics and said the consequences of failing to do so are barely worth considering.
“There are going to be times, potentially, when one side tries to stack the deck and lock in…. a permanent grip on power—either by actively suppressing votes, or politicizing the armed forces, or using the judiciary and the criminal justice system to go after opponents,” Obama wildly claimed.
“And in those circumstances, pluralism does not call for us to just stand back and say, ‘Well, I’m not sure that’s okay.’ In those circumstances, a line has been crossed, and we have to stand firm,” he continued.
“The comment was so outrageous that Obama could barely get the words out of his mouth,” noted journalist Collin Rugg.

But, there’s MORE…. Obama launched into a tirade claiming democracy is in peril.
“I’m convinced that if we want democracy to survive, we’re all going to have to work towards a new commitment to pluralist principals, because the alternative is what we’ve seen here in the United States and in many democracies around the globe… not just more gridlock, not just public cynicism, but an increasing willingness on the part of politicians and their followers to violate democratic norms…. to do anything they can to get their way… to use the power of the state to target critics, and journalists, and political rivals, and to even resort to violence in order to gain and hold onto power,” he ranted.

Obama’s comments are being blasted on social media, with many pointing out the hypocrisy and calling him an ‘election denier.’
That’s politics. Both sides do it.
But this was so out there that he couldn’t even get the words out of his mouth.

That pause was telling.

He could barely say it with a straight face.

He doesn’t even believe what he’s saying.
Just look at him.

Filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza declared, “Obama just claimed that Republicans rig elections and weaponize the justice system. Remind me again, which political party raided Trump‘s house?”

Projection at its finest. Obama accuses Republicans of ‘rigging elections’ and ‘weaponizing justice,’ but let’s not forget the IRS targeting conservatives or the DOJ’s selective prosecutions. This is classic: accuse your opponents of exactly what your side has mastered.
