Candace Owens: Barack Obama left White House 'hating America'
Blackout' author Candace Owens calls Obama first president
who left the White House 'hating America'
Owens and civil rights lawyer Leo Terrell discussed 44th
president's new memoir on 'Hannity.'
The suggestion by former President Barack
Obama that President
Trump’s rise to power was a product of racism is "absolutely
despicable," author and activist Candace Owens told “Hannity”
Thursday.
In his forthcoming memoir, "A Promised
Land," Obama claims Trump’s presidency was the result of “millions
of Americans spooked by a Black man in the White House.”
Recalling Obama’s historic election in 2008, Owens
told host Sean Hannity that the 44th president ran his campaign on the American
Dream and was driven by a “kinetic energy” that has since been seemingly
pushed aside.
“It felt like we
finally had arrived at a place in this country where we could put the past in
the past,” she said. “Barack Obama became the president of the United States
because White Americans supported him. And rather than show some unity,
rather than show some respect for this country that gave him literally
everything he has, he turns his back ... and says, ‘Look at this despicable
country. It’s broken.’”
“He is the first
president that has ever sat in the White House and come out ... hating
America,” she added.
By contrast, Owens said, President Trump has spent the
last four years making efforts to strengthen the Black community, doubling his
support among Black women and “garnered 18% of the Black male vote.”
“Do you think that [Democrats] could have the humility to
pause for a second and say, ‘You know what? Maybe it’s not because every single
person in America is a racist,’” she said. “People are standing behind Donald
J. Trump because he is an effective and good leader who tells the truth and
doesn’t ... run on identity politics.”
