Obama Calls Right ‘Mean’ — Hypocrisy Exposed
Barack Obama sat for an interview and unloaded on the right. Short, sharp lines. Big accusations.
He said, “The other side does the mean, angry, you know, exclusive, us/them, you know, divisive politics. That’s their, that’s, that’s their home court.”
Then he added, “Our court is coming together.”
That’s a bold claim. Especially after the 2024 results. President Donald Trump won big. Electoral college. Popular vote. Seven swing states. Republicans control both chambers. Yet Obama framed conservatives as the problem. That didn’t sit right with a lot of people.
Ask a voter who’s tired of open borders and soft-on-crime politics. Tell them you want kids protected from harmful medical experiments and they’re called a monster. Disagree with DEI-driven hiring and you’re suddenly a racist. Say you want fair elections and you’re branded an ‘election denier.’ Refuse a jab and you’re a ‘science denier.’
That’s not a description of a tolerant movement. It’s a description of public shaming. Of cancel culture. Of forcing speech and punishing dissent.
Obama also pointed at cultural moments as proof of unity. He said, “Our court is coming together. Our court is— look, you know, a great example, wasn’t political, Bad Bunny’s Half Time show. It was, it resonated, it was smart, because it wasn’t preaching. It was showing. It was demonstrating and displaying, this is what a community is.”
Even the left’s cheerleaders pushed back. Piers Morgan called Obama out. He tweeted what many conservatives were thinking.
🤣🤣Preposterously disingenuous nonsense by Obama. The woke left has been the single meanest, angriest, exclusive, us/them divisive movement in history. https://t.co/xXlzWww0xp

That tweet landed hard. It echoed a common Republican line: the left claims moral high ground while policing speech and punishing dissent. For many, that looks less like ‘coming together’ and more like enforcing a strict ideological club.
Obama also criticized ICE and complained about a meme that appeared on a social platform. That only widened the gap between what he says and what critics see happening on the ground.
Look, politicians spar all the time. But words matter. When the president of a major party paints half the country as bad actors, you get friction. Telling voters they’re the problem won’t heal it. Listening might.
