This Is the Standard Left Playbook

If you disagree with the Left, you’re racist, or stupid, or crazy, or just making stuff up.

You couldn’t possibly disagree with them because they’re wrong, and because you want to protect your family.

‘What Is Phony Exactly?’: Dan Crenshaw Hammers Obama For Dismissing Parents’ ‘Fake Outrage’ At Public Schools | The Daily Wire

What did former President Barack Obama (D-USA) say that got him into trouble?

“He’s accusing schools of brainwashing our kids,” Obama remarked.

“Here we are trying to recover from a global pandemic that has killed more than 700,000 Americans, that has shut down thousands of small businesses and put millions out of work. We don’t have time to be wasting on these phony, trumped-up culture wars, this fake outrage, the right-wing media’s pedals to juice their ratings,” Obama later said. “And the fact that he’s willing to go along with it? Instead of talking about serious problems that affect serious people? That’s a shame. That’s not what this election is about. That’s not what you need, Virginia.”

Oh yeah. That.

Critics slammed former President Barack Obama after he suggested that recent anger against school administrators in Virginia was due to “trumped-up culture wars.”

“What is phony exactly? The school rape coverup or Terry McAuliffe saying parents shouldn’t be involved in their child’s education? Shameless gaslighting to prop up a candidate the left knows is in serious trouble,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) said.

“Virginia public schools have pushed critical race theory in the classroom, suppressed concerned parents at school board meetings, and covered up for a gender-fluid sexual predator, who allegedly raped two innocent girls,” the Manhattan Institute’s Christopher Rufo replied.

Yeah, that’s about right. Look, this isn’t fake. These are real issues. And the Democrats are on the wrong side of them. Mocking people for believing otherwise isn’t going to make the issue go away, and it’s not likely to win you any votes either.

Obama would have been better off keeping his big mouth shut.
