There are often pivotal days and moments in the midst of election campaigns. Yesterday definitely felt like one of those days, matthewjdowd writes.

for voting rights, justice and equality, and Obama extolled us to continue that fight, while Trump wants to do something that is not only unconstitutional, it is something no president in our history has floated. Abraham Lincoln didn't do during the Civil War in 1864, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt didn't do in the midst of World War II in 1944.

Pam Hooks, left, and Eddie Smith watch the funeral procession for civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis as his casket arrives at Ebenezer Baptist Church on July 30, 2020, in Atlanta. In 2017, I suggested that America was more divided than it had ever been since the Civil War. I was criticized roundly by many supporters of Trump. Tragically, I was accurate in my assessment.

matthewjdowd Obama was at John Lewis funeral lying up a storm. Obama said that Trump administration was using tear gas on peaceful demonstrators, now we all know that those demonstrations were everything but peaceful. And then Obama said that Trump was trying to stop people from voting. Fake

matthewjdowd It wasn’t a eulogy. It was a campaign speech for Biden who can’t string two coherent sentences together. The democrats need these big funerals so they can have campaign events. It’s a bad look.

matthewjdowd Matthew Dowd matthewjdowd is full of wisdom+sound advice. We need to hear more from him. Love to see him in the Round Table Discussions on Sunday Mornings ThisWeekABC+ GMA GMA much more often. His analogies+words of wisdom are invaluable. His last 2 articles were fantastic!

matthewjdowd Excellent article by matthewjdowd ! If you haven't read it, I encourage you to do so!

matthewjdowd Did he forget he was at a funeral

matthewjdowd Was it a eulogy or an infomercial?

matthewjdowd It was political theater by a traitor, Obama

matthewjdowd The level of bias here is staggering. It’s really sad that reporters have to be so very biased. You fell at Obama’s feet while he was President and your still doing it. He accomplished nothing as President. Nothing.

matthewjdowd

matthewjdowd Barack is nothing but a two bit sleaze

matthewjdowd When no one else can have a funeral or a rally, Obama uses a funeral to have an anti Trump rally. That’s class right there!! And the pedophile protection network is right there to cheer on this low class disgrace as a “pivotal moment”? Wow. Can’t get much lower than that’s

matthewjdowd Trump is vilified for campaigning in the Rose Garden but Obama is glorified for doing the same during a eulogy.

matthewjdowd

matthewjdowd Disgraceful.

matthewjdowd It was pivotal, proof that Clinton was at Epstein’s island with two young girls

matthewjdowd Not much of a eulogy. Love the fake Black Country twang. Fake mofo

matthewjdowd Omfg y'all assholes are delusional and your tactics aren't working anymore. No one forgot about the Barr hearing or today's Epstein release and Fauci hearing. Talk about tone deaf.

matthewjdowd Even my puppy was watching intensely as the military honor guard escorted John Lewis' casket from the church and into the hearse. He normally doesn't notice the TV, but when the honor guard began, he was enthralled until the hearse pulled way.

matthewjdowd Mtchew 😏😆😏

matthewjdowd Just a blip in the news cycle...

matthewjdowd Nope. Just made many of us furious at the hypocrisy that so many crowded into Mr. Lewis's funeral but we cannot attend family and friends funerals. An amazing visual on the elite's piousness. Hypocrisy

matthewjdowd Can anyone tweet or retweet the eulogy please

matthewjdowd Yeah, the hypocrisy was staggering. While talking to a packed church, with thousands of others standing outside, Obama had the chutzpah to say that crowded polling places are why we need mail-in voting.

matthewjdowd HISTORIC NEW LOW: Obama Turns John Lewis Funeral Into Political Slam-Fest!

matthewjdowd The most racist speech of all time from Obama. So sad.

matthewjdowd Election or no, it was a pivotal moment in our return to sanity. We KNOW what real American Presidents look, talk and act like. There's no excuse for picking something that bears NO RESEMBLANCE to an American President.

matthewjdowd Can you imagine if W had attacked O'Biden as Barry did Trump?

matthewjdowd BS.

matthewjdowd The president of the shadow government. Traitor!!

matthewjdowd Not biased at all again, right? I mean who would guess the MSM would want to give their opinion instead of just reporting the news 🤦🏼‍♀️

Barack Obama Storms Out Of Michelle Obama Podcast Interview After Questions About Administration’s Drone UseWASHINGTON—Suddenly standing up and ending the interview as the conversation took a more heated turn, former President Barack Obama reportedly stormed out of a taping of The Michelle Obama Podcast Friday after the host continually pressed him on his administration’s drone use policy. “Hey, this is a complete ambush and I don’t have to just sit here and take it,” said the ex-commander in chief, slamming the door of the studio on his way out before returning a few minutes later to continue cussing out Michelle Obama for what he viewed as “unfair ‘gotcha’ questions” about his controversial implementation of over 500 drone strikes during his presidency. “This was supposed to be a nice, low-key chat and you just spring all these accusations on me, none of which were on the pre-approved list of questions. You think this kind of bullshit is how you make a name for yourself in this business? Well guess what, Michelle? You fucked up! Good luck booking any more big-name guests after pissing off the fucking 44th president of the United States.” At press time, a visibly angry Obama was sitting in the car outside the studio, waiting for Michelle to finish so they could drive home together. obama wtf yo I love you aaaahh now michelle we drone talk about that
