You’d think conservatives have enough on their hands in fighting to take back the White House, gaining more seats in Congress, and finding new and humiliating ways to defend former President Donald Trump. But Republicans always find time to attack their favorite targets, Barack and Michelle Obama.
Former President Obama faced unprecedented hatred, yet still served two full terms in the White House, and left office with high approval ratings. But he had to endure the racist calls of “birtherism” that plagued Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign (and later propelled Trump to GOP stardom) to likening Michelle Obama to a monkey, you name it and Republicans went there. But since leaving the White House, Obama has largely remained outside of the political spotlight, though his most passionate detractors still have it in for him and his wife.
Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News superstars turned social media firebrands, devoted their energies this week toward the former first couple in rather odd ways.
