Obama on Republicans: They’re Even Taking Our Brave Troops Away from Their Families for a Political Stunt

EXCERPT:

OBAMA: “We all try to put a positive spin on things. But what we have not seen the way we are seeing right now is politicians just blatantly, repeatedly, boldly, shamelessly lying, just making stuff up. That’s what they’re doing now all the time. By the way, it’s not the first time. They do this every election cycle. Try to terrify folks. And then the election comes and the problem suddenly magically vanishes. You never hear about it again. In 2010, they said that Bill and I were setting up death panels to kill your grandma. Remember that? In 2014 they said, Obama’s going to kill all of us. Shut the borders. In 2016 it was Hillary’s emails. They were all wound up about that. And the mainstream press picked up on it — this is terrible. You know they don’t care about that. If they did, they would be worried about the current President talking on his cell phone while the Chinese are listening in. They didn’t care about it. They said it to get folks angry and ginned up. Now in 2018 they’re telling you the existential threat to America is a bunch of poor refugees a thousand miles away. They’re even taking our brave troops away from their families for a political stunt at the border. And the men and women of our military deserve better than that.”
