AP Photo/Vincent Thian Terry McAuliffe is in trouble in Virginia, and he’s been bringing in help from heavy hitters in the Democratic Party to boost turnout in his favor. But former President Barack Obama’s campaign appearance over the weekend may do more harm than good, as comments that he made regarding the recent controversies involving local school boards have been panned for being tone-deaf.
“We don’t have time to be wasting on these phony trumped-up culture wars, this fake outrage that right-wing media peddles to juice their ratings,” Obama said. “Instead of stoking anger aimed at school boards and administrators, who are just trying to keep our kids safe…. [W]e should be making it easier for teachers and schools to give our kids the world-class education they deserve, and to do so safely while they are in the classrooms.” Former President @BarackObama : “We don’t have time to be wasted on these phony trumped-up culture wars, this fake outrage, the right-wing media’s pedals to juice their ratings.” pic.twitter.com/bmMnet8q5X — The Hill (@thehill) October 23, 2021 In Loudoun County, Virginia, the school board has been under fire for covering up the sexual assault of a female student by a gender-fluid male student . In May, the male student wore a skirt and followed the girl into the girls’ restroom, where the assault took place. Rather than refer the case to law enforcement, the school board decided to handle the matter internally. The girl’s father was justifiably outraged, and the school administration called the police on him when he confronted them. He was later arrested at a school board meeting for talking about the assault. The National School Boards Association cited the incident in their now infamous letter likening concerned parents at school board meetings to domestic terrorists.
Obama didn’t mention Loudoun County specifically, but the situation there was undeniably a part of the “fake outrage” that Obama declared wasn’t “a serious problem that affects serious people.” Parents in the state panned Obama’s remarks for being tone-deaf.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
