Former President Barack Obama on Thursday admonished Black men who he believes have not adequately supported Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign, telling them it’s “not acceptable” to sit out this election and suggesting they might be reluctant to vote for Harris because she’s a woman.

He then ends up suggesting the reason they don’t like Harris is because she’s a woman -

“Because part of it makes me think – and I’m speaking to men directly – part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”

      Just an fyi, Trump and his National Security Advisor are literally talking about executing political opponents when they win. Obama’s entire family could be up against the wall.

      This is not an exaggeration.

        Trump is among the protected, just like the Obamas. He is in the club despite what liberal voters want to think.

          You’re insane if you don’t think Obamas are at the top of the list… You really do not understand how autocrats function, do you? Nobody is safe. “First they came for…” And all that.
