Candace Owens Calls Barack Obama ‘The First President to … Come Out of the White House Hating America’

Conservative activist Candace Owens appeared on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show last night to discuss former President Barack Obama’s new book, scheduled to be released in a week, on November 20th.

Excerpts were obtained yesterday by news outlets where Obama claims the rise of Trump was a racist reaction to “having a black man in the White House” and blasts President Trump for birtherism.

In the forthcoming memoir, Obama also says the rot set into GOP when McCain named Sarah Palin as running mate and he slams Republicans as xenophobic and paranoid.

Owens reacted to the excerpts and told Hannity, “The language that he’s using, the rhetoric that is coming out of former Barack Obama’s mouth is nothing short of absolutely despicable in my opinion.”

“This is a man who ran on the American dream. Everyone remembers where they were the night Barack Obama won. There was a kinetic energy on the ground it felt like we finally had arrived at a place in this country where we could put the past on the past,” Owens continued.

Owens believes “He ran on that image. He didn’t run on race, he didn’t run on denigrating half of Americans.”

“Let me make this clear, we live in a majority white country, 60% of white people live in this country, 13% black people in this country. Barack Obama became the president of the United States because white Americans supported him,” Owens stated.

Owens then criticized Obama for adding to the political divide and said, “Rather than sow some unity, rather than show some respect for this country that gave him literally everything he has, he turned his back on the country and he said look at this despicable country, it’s broken.”

“He is the first president to have ever sat in the White House and come out of the White House hating America and that is what I believe about Barack Obama today,” Owens concluded.
