Boy, the left really has itself in a hissy fit over what UFC fighter Josh Hokit said about Michelle Obama. T For what? Because Hokit used his post-fight interview with Joe Rogan, he said, “Michelle Obama is a man! Am I right, America?" I mean, I thought the left believed that being trans was A-OK? Joe Biden said worse things about Donald Trump daily on the White House grounds, so spare me the faux outrage and crocodile tears that are just coming from all over.
Again, I don’t believe the conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama being a man, but boy, the outrage over the comment really makes you wonder, doesn’t it?
But seriously, folks. The outrage theatre isn’t even the worst party. What kills me is the way the left is acting like Trump has essentially sullied the sanctity of the White House grounds because of the UFC event, and that decency and decorum prevailed up until this point.
I’m not even joking. Podcaster Charlamagne tha God wants you to believe that the Obama years were some untouchable golden age of presidential class, a time before the White House lost its manners.
Whatever you think of Hokit’s comments, they were relatively harmless; Charlamagne tried to turn them into a referendum on the entire current White House and an ode to the supposed elegance of the second-to-last Democrat administration to occupy it.
"I don't know why you MAGA lovers do that, because all you do when you bring the Obamas up is remind people of what is currently missing from the White House," Charlamagne said Monday on The Breakfast Club. "That no longer exists now. All right, you didn't have to agree with the Obamas politically to recognize that they were a masterclass in dignity. Alright, truly grace under fire. Now that bar is in hell. Okay, Satan and his demons use that bar to limbo."
A masterclass in dignity? Truly grace under fire?
Heck no. Not even close.
This was the administration that brought Common, a rapper whose lyrics glorified cop killers and dripped with contempt for law enforcement, to a White House poetry event. This was the administration that filmed Barack Obama mugging through a Between Two Ferns interview with Zach Galifianakis to sell Obamacare, treating the presidency like a content marketing opportunity. He even bathed the White House in rainbow lights after Obergefell.

And Obama himself was one to insult Americans from the presidential bully pulpit. Early in his first term, Obama called the Cambridge police "stupid" before the facts were even in on the Henry Louis Gates Jr. arrest. He disparaged small-town Americans as clinging to "guns or religion.” He inserted himself into the Trayvon Martin case with "If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon" while the investigation was still underway. Oh, and then there’s that whole spying on Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and the whole Russiagate scandal.
Masterclass in dignity, my foot.
Charlamagne isn't grieving lost dignity. He's grieving the loss of power, and he's dressing it up as nostalgia for the Obama years. The Obamas were skilled communicators with a friendly press corps that smoothed over every rough edge, every scandal, every classless act. Take away the favorable coverage, and what you're left with is just another scandal-plagued Democrat administration that talked down to Americans and expected applause for it.
