Barack Obama Explains Why ‘We Have To Worry’ About Donald Trump-Beholden GOP
HuffPost
Establishment Republican thinking today would have been "unacceptable even five years ago," said the former president.
Barack Obama on Monday lamented the GOP’s embrace of ex-President Donald Trump’s election lies, saying the Republican Party has been “cowed into accepting” conspiracy theories that would have been unacceptable until only relatively recently. “I think we have to worry when one of our major political parties is willing to embrace a way of thinking about our democracy that would be unrecognizable and unacceptable even five years ago or a decade ago,” the former president told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. Cooper asked Obama if he’d envisioned how the “dark spirits” on the fringes of the GOP during his presidency would end up taking over the party.More Related News
