Fox News’ Bongino Eviscerates Obama After Trump Attack, One of ‘Most Divisive Presidents’ Ever
Commentator calls out the former commander-in-chief and minces no words — has message for GOP, too
By PopZette Staff
During a speech at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign this past Friday — which marked his return to politics ahead of the 2018 midterm elections — former President Barack Obama called out President Donald Trump for being “divisive,” among other barbs aimed at the current occupant of the Oval Office.
Here was one of Obama’s salvos during his speech: “Sometimes the backlash comes from people who are genuinely, if wrongly, fearful of change,” he said.
Obama continued, “And you happen to be coming of age during one of those moments. It did not start with Donald Trump. He is a symptom, not the cause.”
Former Secret Service agent and conservative commentator Dan Bongino vehemently disagreed with those comments in a Saturday appearance on the Fox News program “Fox & Friends.”
During his appearance, he called the ex-president’s comments “disgraceful,” as Fox News Insider reported.
Bongino stated his opinion bluntly: ”Barack Obama was one of the most divisive presidents in American history.”
The commentator went on to attack the GOP.
“What happened to the Republican Party? Its central organizing principle in foreign policy was the fight against communism, and now they’re cozying up to the former head of the KBG,” he claimed.

Bongino also said Americans are sick and tired of being talked down to by “elitist goofballs” like Obama, and slammed a quote from former White House staffer Ben Rhodes’ book, “The World As It Is,” in which Obama apparently said he wondered if America was ready for his presidency.
“We were ready for Barack Obama. Barack Obama wasn’t ready for America,” said Bongino.
Obama also implied in his speech on Friday that Trump and his supporters do not think Nazis are bad, asking, “We are supposed to stand up to discrimination. And we sure as heck are supposed to stand up clearly and unequivocally to Nazi sympathizers. How hard can that be? Saying that Nazis are bad?”
