Key Takeaways:
- Trump Goes Bold: Calls Obama the “leader of the gang” and accuses him of “treason” from the Oval Office.
- Democrats Melt Down: Rep. Jim Himes warns, “Someone will die because of this,” tying it to January 6th.
- The Bigger Play: Critics say Dems are using fear tactics to distract from the Epstein scandal and Trump’s corruption claims.
Democrats are sounding the alarm—again—this time because President Donald Trump dared to call out former President Barack Obama for what he calls “treason.” Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump declared, “If you look at those papers, they have him stone-cold… The leader of the gang was President Obama, Barack Hussein Obama… He’s guilty. This was treason.”
Cue the pearl-clutching. On MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) declared, “Someone will die because President Donald Trump accused former President Barack Obama of treason.” According to Himes, using strong language like “treason” is practically an invitation for violence. He even tied it to January 6th, saying, “It was all driven by a lie propagated by Donald Trump, and now we’re seeing that playbook again.”
WATCH:
Here’s the problem: Democrats seem more worried about Trump’s words than about accountability for what he’s alleging—a massive abuse of power by the previous administration. Instead of asking whether Obama weaponized government intelligence, they’re spinning doomsday scenarios to distract from the real story.
Himes doubled down, blaming Tulsi Gabbard as well, and warning that some “tiny percentage” of Americans might act on Trump’s statements. In other words: free speech is too dangerous when conservatives use it.
The bottom line? This isn’t about public safety—it’s about silencing Trump, deflecting from the Epstein fallout, and keeping Americans from asking uncomfortable questions about corruption at the highest levels.
