Who cares who was president at the time? It’s Biden’s fault now.
Remember how Obama was weak on terror compared to Bush Jr., under whom there were no terrorist attacks on America? Or heck, even how Democrats are bad for the deficit.
The base 1) is JUST as ignorant, and 2) doesn’t care.
“Not the sharpest tack in the box.”
In the maga box they might be and that’s part of the problem.
Or, according to one “MAGA on the street” interview, Obama did nothing about Covid.
I mean in the Trumps 2020 ads, they showed news clips of civil unrest blaming Biden - when they were all clips while he was president.
It’s all made up BS and lies. It doesn’t matter to the spoon fed believers, they will eat up that stuff.
I mean, it’s true. He also did nothing about the Russians invading Ukraine. Pretty much useless, eh? (/s)
How dare Obama not fix problems that hadn’t even happened yet when he was POTUS!
Um, Russia did invade Ukraine at the time though. They annexed Crimea in 2014…
Man, you ruin all my fun!
And the funny thing is, he kind of did. The Obama administration put together a pandemic plan after Ebola outbreaks in 2015, which Trump ignored when COVID hit.
Where was Joe Biden in the summer of 2020? Campaigning to unseat the Occupant of the Oval Office at the time, Donald Trump.
Oh, and according to CNN he did respond to the George Floyd protests.
