WHAT? Obama Claims He Rejects Belief That ‘Only True Narrative of America is This One of Oppression and Exclusion’ (VIDEO)

Obama has been getting a ton of media attention this week because of the opening of his hideous presidential center. During an interview with MSNOW, he said something that was truly stunning.

Obama claimed that he rejects the belief that ‘the only true narrative of America is this one of oppression and exclusion.’

Is he for real?

His entire political career has been based on the idea that America is the land of oppression and exclusion. It’s practically his personal brand.

If you watch the video below, you’ll see how he set this up. You know how Obama loves to pretend he is the sensible person in the room who takes a nuanced view of every issue? That is precisely what he was trying to do here.

FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I do think it’s important to ground. What happened during my presidency in this broader sweep of American history, and as I said before, you know, this idea that, you know, on the right and you see this in the Trump administration, this idea that any suggestion or criticism that America was anything other than perfect is unpatriotic, is a suggestion that you hate your country, is a suggestion that you hate your country. Now, the flip side is among progressives, sometimes there is this sense of, well, the only true narrative of America is this one of oppression and exclusion.

And I reject both those views. I think it’s complicated. As I said, I think it’s possible to celebrate the founders and appreciate what they did, as well as look objectively and critically at how their values strayed very far from what they professed.

I think it’s impossible to say that there were populists in rural America and the South and white America that really did believe in equality and justice for white folks and helped to make progress in giving more people opportunity and not ignore the fact that that was to the exclusion of others. And that’s the kind of complexity that I hope people get a little bit of a sense of.

This was a blatant attempt to rewrite history.

Anyone who lived through the Obama years knows that Obama’s central message was that America was and is a land of the oppressed.
