So there was all that oooooooing and ahhhhhing for former First Lady Michelle Obama’s speech for the Democratic National Convention.
Then there was this – a serious dose reality.
Over at Tucker Carlson Tonight, the historian and Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor Davis Hanson served up that reality this way, as headlined at Fox:
Hanson: Michelle Obama told Dems to ‘go high’ after her husband ‘tried to destroy a political campaign’
Barack Obama’s legacy will be running ‘one of the most corrupt administrations,’ historian tells Tucker Carlson
Said Hanson:
“When she says ‘We go high when they go low,’ she’s talking right now when her husband’s administration has weaponized the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, and is the subject of a massive investigation by [Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham],”
…Michelle Obama knows that there were over 100 people killed in one month alone in her hometown in Chicago. They weren’t killed by White people. They weren’t killed by the police. There’s been over 400 … she knows what the real problem is, but she also knows that she could go to Chicago with Barack … meet with community leaders and say, ‘We have a crisis in Chicago in general and among the African-American community.’
…..it’s very easy to say something from your Washington or Martha’s Vineyard $20 million estate and mansion because you’re never going to be subject to the ramifications.
Black Lives Matter’s not going to show up outside of her mansion and there’s not going to be an inner-city shooting match right outside [in] Martha’s Vineyard. So these all become abstractions.”
Bingo.
A central fact here is that the “mainstream” media – aka the liberal media – is devoted to protecting both Obamas. Here is but a small sample of names or places you did not hear from Michelle Obama, nor will you hear from the former president – or anyone else who addresses the Democratic Convention.
• Benghazi, where the US Ambassador and three other Americans were murdered while the Obama White House slept.
• Fast and Furious, the gun-running Obama scandal that resulted in the death of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and for which Obama’s self-described “wingman” – Attorney General Eric Holder – became the first Cabinet member in all of US history to be cited for contempt of Congress.
• James Comey – The disgraced Obama-appointed, Trump-fired, FBI Director who played a central role in the use of the FBI to spy on the Trump Presidential campaign and presidency.
• John Brennan – The disgraced Obama CIA Director involved in the spy gate scandal.
• Peter Strzok and Lisa Page – the two FBI officials who spent their time plotting and planning how to stop a Trump presidency.
• Andrew McCabe – Comey’s Deputy Director who was also fired, in this case for lacking “candor.” That would be an accusation of lying.
• Kevin Clinesmith – the now-ex-FBI lawyer who has now pleaded guilty to making a false statement – intentionally altering an e-mail about Trump campaign advisor Carter Page to make it seem he was CIA source when in fact he was – and Clinesmith knew that.
• Lois Lerner – the Obama era IRS official who was at the center of the effort to target conservative political groups that had applied for selected political groups applying for tax-exempt status.
These are the Obama employees – Victor Davis Hanson has correctly cited for having “weaponized the IRS, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA.”
Oh – and did I mention the Hunter Biden multi-scandals?
You will not hear a single word from the hate-Trump media about any of this Obama-Biden corruption as the Democrats’ convention unfolds.
Which is exactly why there is a reminder to be found – right here.
