Many people have questioned why the Leftist Messiah Obama did not pardon Jack Johnson, mainly because they can’t accept that Trump did the right thing here. In fact, the Left was quick to call this a ruse, a PR stunt, and to insist that Trump was being disingenuous … some went so far as to accuse him of only caring about ‘dead black people.’
No, we’re not making this up.
But none were quite as pathetic as Joy Reid and her weak defense of Obama’s FAILURE to do the right thing.
Again.
So why didn't @BarackObama pardon Jack Johnson? @samstein reported on this last month… pic.twitter.com/kKHYvLOqAK

President Obama deeply believed in America's institutions as the nation's chief executive. Love it or get frustrated by it, he wasn't faking that. He was the diametric opposite of what we have now, which is a president who is crashing through norms like a china shop bull. https://t.co/EiH3TenDZD

It’s driving Joy CRAZY that Trump did what Obama should have done.
And really Joy? Obama deeply believed in America’s institutions? Is that why he weaponized agencies against his ‘political foes’? Used a pen and a phone to pass legislation?
Tell us another one.
Obama didn't even have a concept of separation of powers or checks and balances. By all means, let's have this discussion, but it's hard to take you seriously when you won't be honest about how we got here. https://t.co/DIosyTRkgK

Perhaps Joy’s hacker got ahold of her Twitter account?
Heh.
We've had decades of trampling constitutional norms, but sure let's pretend this all started with Trump.

Everything is Trump’s fault.
Duh.

B.S. Obama hated law enforcement, an American institution. He told them they "acted stupidly" before getting all the facts because he has a strong bias against them compelling him to believe the worst.

Obama weaponized the IRS against Tea Party groups
He weaponized the DOJ against reporters
He weaponized the FBI against the Trump campaignBut you do you, Joy

So that’s why Obama didn’t pardon Jack Johnson?

It seems Joy may have missed the very reason Trump got elected … he IS the opposite of Obama.
And that’s not necessarily always a bad thing.
You're the diametric opposite of a journalist. Obama was just as much an unqualified buffoon as Trump is. Quit posturing and call it down the line.
