Former President Barack Obama, who authorized
drone strikes on American citizens without judicial process, harassed journalists by naming them as
criminal co-conspirators to gain access to their emails and phone records, and
weaponized the IRS against his political opponents, is super-concerned that the Trump administration is leading the United States down a path toward autocracy.
Obama, speaking at The Bushnell Performing Arts Center in Hartford on Tuesday evening, told an admiring crowd that democracy as we have known it in this country is under attack.
“If you follow regularly what is said by those who are in charge of the federal government right now, there is a weak commitment to what we understood – and not just my generation, at least since World War II – our understanding of how a liberal democracy is supposed to work,” he said, accoridng to
Connecticut Public Radio.
“There has to be a response and pushback from civil society, from various institutions and individuals outside of government, but there also have to be people in government in both parties who say, 'No, you can't do that,’” added Obama.
Obama then leveled some of his most direct remarks to date at the current President, saying America is "dangerously close" to moving into autocracy territory.
Comment:
I think that Obama's Far Left coalition has already been pushing back against Trump's government reform policies.
The Far Left has been using judicial tyranny to interfere with Trump's policies.
I do not believe that Trump is a "dictator" or an "authoritarian"
Obama needs to cool it with the hyperbolic rhetoric because the Far Left has already tried to murder Trump twice.
