Former President Barack Obama deconstructed some of Donald Trump’s playbook attacks while campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris in Nevada on Saturday.
Speaking at a rally in Las Vegas, Obama accused the Republican presidential nominee and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (Ohio), of leaning on scaremongering about immigration as an answer to any issue.
“If you challenge them, they’ll fall back on one answer. It does not matter what it is — housing, health care, education, paying for the bills — one answer: blame the immigrants,” he said.
“He wants you to believe that if you elect him, he will just round up whoever he wants and ship them out and all your problems will be solved,” he added.
He acknowledged that there’s a “real issue” at the border and elements of the system are “broken,” but criticized Trump’s approach.
“When I hear Donald Trump talk … he’s very quick to say to Kamala, ‘Well, you were vice president for four years,’” he added. “Dude, you were president for four years!”
Uh, you can’t see the issue with 100,000 lives pouring into a country in a single month? OK.
I’m from Tulsa, OK originally. Not exactly a cow town. You could fill that city in 4-months with that many people, and Tulsa has been around since 1836, not even 200-years. Or, fill Chicago in a little over 2-years (whew, that’s some rough back-of-the-napkin math!)
Think a moment on the housing, food, sewage, power, water, etc. to provide for that many lives. It’s staggering and we keep loading more and more and more. Our population has increased by 138 million since I was born. That’s a 60% increase. You cool with the environmental and carbon increases?
But hey! Pretend it’s not a problem. These people earn slave wages, pay taxes, get zero benefits, sound good? Don’t hear libs complaining about any of that. Modern slavery by any other words.
you don’t care about a single one of those things you cite as problems. this is why your grandkids avoid you.
