The possible re-election of Donald J. Trump has pulled former President Barack Obama out of retirement. Since he formally endorsed Democratic candidate Joe Biden in mid-April, Obama has begun appearing in the media landscape more and more frequently.

The former President has even participated directly in the Biden Campaign, speaking on a Zoom fundraiser, according to the New York Times. And during the appearance, Obama was far from tongue-tied.


When he addressed Trump's racist rhetoric surrounding the virus, Obama offered blunt and total judgment.

"I don't want a country in which the President of the United States is actively trying to promote anti-Asian sentiment and thinks it's funny. I don't want that. That still shocks and pisses me off."

The "anti-Asian sentiment" Obama mentioned is in regards to Trump's continued use of "Kung Flu" and Chinese Virus.

The President's racist rhetoric drew especially sharp criticism in May after he told Chinese-American reporter Weijia Jiang to "ask China" why Americans keep losing their lives to the virus.

For many across the internet Obama's words were a sign of wonderful things to come.

They hoped his outspoken honesty was the beginning of many more strong rebukes of Trump's racist comments.





The Presidential Election is slated for November 3. Nothing is for certain, but perhaps that means July, August, September and October will be filled with similar hard-hitting Obama soundbites.

Capitol Officer Who Witnessed Jan. 6 Insurrection Goes Viral With Tweet About LA Protests

Staff Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, who lived through the January 6 insurrection and later testified before Congress, criticized President Donald Trump's demand to "bring in the troops" amid ongoing protests in Los Angeles against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's immigration raids.

Gonell testified after the attack that he and his fellow officers "were punched, pushed, kicked, shoved, sprayed with chemical irritants and even blinded with eye-damaging lasers by a violent mob who apparently saw us law enforcement officers, dedicated to ironically protecting them as U.S. citizens, as an impediment in their attempted insurrection."
