Former President Barack Obama released a pointed statement condemning "language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders" that "normalizes racist sentiments." The statement, which did not directly name President Donald Trump, follows two mass shootings in the US in the span of 13 hours — one of which involved a white supremacist suspect.
"We should soundly reject language coming out of the mouths of any of our leaders that feeds a climate of fear and hatred or normalizes racist sentiments; leaders who demonize those who don't look like us, or suggest that other people, including immigrants, threaten our way of life, or refer to other people as sub-human, or imply that America belongs to just one certain type of people," Obama said.
"It's time for the overwhelming majority of Americans of goodwill, of every race and faith and political party, to say as much — clearly and unequivocally," he added.

WOW he had to read a Teleprompter when something like this happens 😳
HE READS THE TELEPROMPTER BECAUSE HE HAS NO SOUL AND JUST READS LIKE A ROBOT
Being somber and mild over dead Americans and Mexican citizens isn’t enough. As Obama stated in his reaction to this was to stop with the pointing and push for comfort. Obama goes after Presidential Candidates fouling up their chance to unify and wait for all the facts. They talked the most and Trump talked 10mins. Obama might be mad at the debate that attacked his policies and legacy such as Affordable Health Care and being the Deporter in Chief.
@Reek0 N. why can’t you act like a adult and think before you make a comment like this
Elisa G you dont need a fkin’ teleprompter just level with the people it was a horrendous act your heart goes out to the families and you couldn’t imagine if it were my son or say Ivanka a little empathy goes a long way u dont need some elaborate dissertation proposal. Just common sense & humanity.
Matteo Obama used TelePrompTer bu Obama did not lie when he did he accepted responsibility trump is white stuffed racist pig 🐷 the midget of North Korea butt fucked n he fell how sweet some republicans are quitting cause the BLUE WAVE 🌊 IS COMIY
He reads so poorly; this was clearly written for him. When he speaks authentically, it shows how despicable his words are.
… he’s a imbecile … and he can’t hide it.
@Church Planting Catalyst What do you mean are you now talking violence because this is not on.
@Pamela Douglas He reads well enough to be a Billionaire, you should read the post above regarding Trump Derangement syndrome your obviously a sufferer of TDS. et help now or in 2020 when he is re-elected you will need a rubber room.
Jules Nagbunga thanks for clarification. Guess it’s the delivery everyone is upset with but not the content I hope.
Nothing makes him more unhappy than reading from a teleprompter.
“Obama urges Americans to reject racist language from top”
*^ That coming from the most racist President in modern US history.*
@Hillary Clinton’s racist Kara Swisher interview Tool
Rene Calvo….so does every other president, but you go get em tiger. We are seeing that there isn’t a single democratic candidate who can beat Trump in 2020, and even THEY are starting to realize it. Maybe go take a break in the nearest crying closet and feel better soon hun’.
They probably forced him written prepared
Speech. Otherwise he’d deliverr his usual childlike school bully jargon.

I think what you were trying to say is that your gaping snatch is still hurt because Hillary lost in 2016.
If violent video games were the cause of gun violence then Japan would have the highest death rate from it. They don’t.
@Ash Roskell Not sure if your calculator will do the math (or wish it to), but when 95% of the leftist media (drum beating), that controls 95% of the media out there, is ALL NEGATIVE towards our President, our Nation, and our laws, that it will NOT have an adverse effect on societal behavior. MOB mentality is being PUSHED and violence is being encouraged by our politicians (Maxine Waters, Core Booker, Joe Biden) and it is being elevated minute by minute by the MEDIA! Your math sucks, and you refuse to look at the facts. Less than 2 percent of killings in the USA are contributed to Assault Weapons. 75% of the murders, per the FBI statistics, is by knife. 20 times more people are killed by kicking, or bludgeoned to death than killed by assault weapons. Banning butter knives will be more productive than banning assault weapons, statistically speaking! That is MATH for you if you are truly honest.
@Ibber Are you implying the Japanese are too stupid to be able to make their own weapons (which anyone with the willingness to do so can go to any hardware store, and design and make a gun that could be used for killing)? Or make a bomb out of a waffle iron to mane and kill runners. Culture, values, beliefs, ethics, morals, attitude, ideals and standards are the defining qualities that separate us from them. It is just disheartening that our Media has so much HATE for our President, our Nation, and our laws that they continue to beat their drums of negativity to manipulate and divide us for their benefit, and political maneuvering. And yet, people like you fall for it, and repeat their drum beating without doing your own critical thinking by educating yourself beyond what they tell you, or FAIL to tell you. Stop being a parrot! Do your research!
@johnmburt1960 “An opinion adopted from an opinion of another, without self-education, is a borrowed opinion of unrealized ignorance!”
@Nate Neu And in the USA, the MEDIA is dictating the division, the break down of our unity, and RACISM RACISM and RACISM. Eventually, their drum beating will cause more division and more mayhem.
Adolf Hitler said: https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/adolf-hitler-quotes
“Demoralize the enemy from within by surprise, terror, sabotage, assassination. This is the war of the future.
”
“The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.
”
“Generals think war should be waged like the tourneys of the Middle Ages. I have no use for knights; I need revolutionaries.
”
“Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction.
”
“How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.
”
“By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.
”
“The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.
”
There ARE people that are trying to do what Hitler was unable to do in his time, and with the internet, TV’s in every bar, hotel, bus station, airport, taxi, waiting room, smart phone and social media, we are PRIMED for the programming by those that wish to control us, and NOT for the benefit of you and I. NO MATTER what side of the political isle you are one. Wake up, we are under attack. Educate yourself, don’t just pick a side and NOT question if it is right. Questioning is the first step to education by filtering false information that is intended to deceive.
For anyone to wonder what is happening to the United States and how we are being attacked from within, because BOMBS and GUNS will not work against our might, please take some time to listen and think about the 3 links below. Then logically think about it.
This is an excerpt from G. Edward Griffin’s 1984 interview with KGB defector, Yuri Bezmenov,
who explains the four stages of communist strategy for taking over the U.S. from within. It is sobering to realize
that stage three is almost complete. Stage Four is martial law from which there is no escape. Americans are
running out of time to take the Red Pill.

Our love and deepest condolences go out to these dear victims, families, friends and associates after these heinous terrorist attacks in El Paso and in Ohio, our thoughts are with you all in America at this time – Blessings from New Zealand 🇳🇿♥️
Marlena Forbes-Reidy thank you so much for your kind words! Much gratitude and love coming back your way.
Well said, this is not a time for political ranting and raving from either side. Every liberal at a time like this has to run to a microphone and start the blame game. The shooters were to blame and we should always allow the dead to be buried and the families their time to mourn their loses before the microphones come out.
So far it’s just been shooters! We forgot about the bomb makers. The next attack could be another Oklahoma city!!
Yeah, what I’m most scared about is fire or toxic gas in the subway, or bombs exploding. You do know about that if you see a bomb explode, DO NOT run towards the explosion to go look. It is a trap. The terrorist always have 1 small bomb to explode to gather a crowd at the scene, then the second bombs explode to casue the most harm.
@Peter Newbranch If you remove all the access to guns, the mass killers will still get bombs, poison, knifes or automobiles. The will find a way, they always have. Remember the Tylenol Poisonings? The Boston Marathon Bombings? and there are countless examples of knifes and automobiles used to kill many.
HAHA RIGHT HE WAS SO PISSED OFF THAT HE WAS BEING FORCED TO READ A MESSAGE INSTEAD OF GIVING THE PRESS THE FINGER
Invasion of all immigrants, lol, too late son, thank you for encouraging idiots out there 😂. Rest in peace 💔😥 y’all.
Canada Has Added White Supremacists And Neo-Nazi Groups To Its Terror Organization List!
WE ROCK!
@TheSpaceMan when you have lived around parasites like black americans then you will change your mind.
Fascinating, didn’t realize Canada would be so quick to destroy free speech.
TheSpaceMan
Yeah, we had a visitor from your country and he made us laugh so hard when he ask us how we felt about the 🤡 in the White House! We respond what clown, he says the President! 😂😂😂
The only reason you
Many didn’t listen to FBI directors report on Capital Hill 2 weeks ago stating they have arrested a record number White Supremacy groups this year than any time in America under the order of the President. Hmmm. Sad it’s just happening under this president.
An AI would give this speech with more empathy.
That was soo mean 😂😂..
This is a nightmare to say the least 😞
It’s Bill Kristol, an actual Nazi. Good thing he helped get that Iraq War. Lots of blood on that soil, well sand. Thankfully he was safe here the whole time.
I’m still blame Seth Myers & Obama’s Press Corps Dinner comedy bit for all of this….
By “this” I mean tRump’s “Presidency”….
He has no clue from 1 min to the next!!! My dogs are more intelligent!!!
Your dog could have beaten Hilary and probably better looking than her too.
How mature of you. Let’s use animals to compare to people we don’t like. Is this what we should be teaching our children?
Show your face and say it why do you hide that is so cowardly.
@Mulinaster that is NOT a human that is a SMELLY APE
It’s not just him.congress backing him up by of his behaviors
That anti-Semite is one to talk. Go home, boy.
You mean the pro Israel anti-Semite? Stupid!
@Nate Neu
Pro-Israel???? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Why are they ignoring that the Dayton, Ohio shooter was a proclaimed Leftist and a huge supporter of Elizabeth Warren? Why? Because it doesn’t damage Trump, it cuts against their non-stop 24/7 deranged anti Trump narrative.
How dare the POTUS blame mental illness the root of Mass Murders!!!!
Well no one in their right mind would do that honestly, what did you think Trump bought the gun for him, the Police are very slack the guy had been saying he was going to kill, this has nothing to do with Trump. The FBI needs to get their finger out here in Australia he would have been arrested straight away. You can’t write stuff like that
When you look at a case by case basis on shooters you will find a lot are on anti psychotic drugs. Why because everything anyone does nowadays is an illness. The drug companies and psychiatrists are creating more and more issues for their DSM manuals. They are making a killing by making mental illnesses up. From LGBTQRXTM issues to ADHD which everyone is diagnosed with. No wonder people are going crazy. Get a grip on these so called mental health professional and shut down these fools. Listen to commercials for the drugs they provide it is downright scary hearing those side effects.
The report from Ohio says so. The Report from Texas says so. The Report from California said so. The report from Florida said so. The report from Las Vegas said so. The experts studying mass shootings say common theme: male, abused or troubled childhood, mental issues
Obama and his administration are who divided the nation with identity politics so they could earn a few more votes. All that’s happening now is the fruit of Obama’s labor.
so this incident, which is obvious propoganda, changes the laws for millions of people. Makes not sense to me.
Another race baiting anti-american broadcast not based in truth.
