Former President Obama is warning of the “dangers” of cancel culture — saying it is creating a society where we are “just going to be condemning people all the time.”

The 44th commander-in-chief told Anderson Cooper in a CNN special Monday that he hoped the movement to demand changes in some old-fashioned attitudes would be a key part of his legacy.

“For the first time in my adult lifetime...”.

I’ve heard this before but just now noticed Michelle Obama qualified that remark with “adult” lifetime.

I suppose that means she was brought up to be proud of our country, but then got reprogrammed by her leftist college professors, and then started being ashamed of it as soon as she became an adult - which makes sense.

Obama should have been canceled for not being a natural born citizen.

That’s why he hates the Constitution.

It says he can’t be President.

Only because they DID come after him last week.

He’s the instigator of all of this but now that his chickens have come home to roost he wants people to back off but only cancel those who “deserve” it.

“Key part of his legacy”? There is no positive side to his legacy.

He was cancelled long ago, at OUR house! 😉

I have to say it was easy cancelling an incompetent, venal, corrupt, clown with NOTHING to recommend him in the first place.

Yep. Karma. What goes around, comes around.
Hammer, meet nail.
And they need to go after the SOB even more as the evidence blooms out.

Yah, he was the high-ranking racist TWOT that started all of this. His non-stop hatred of all things USA and then the West inspired all the little TWOTs.

He cannot be allowed to do this. Mr. “get in the face of people” you disagree with, started cancel culture.

Pretty much the idea behind Darkness at Noon by Arthur Koestler.

And Obama is right to be worried. All J.K. Rowling's donations and support for leftist causes didn't save her from being canceled when she dared to deviate from the script re trans folks. They are now accusing her of being racist because Harry Potter has too many white people in it and anti-Semitic because the goblins have hooked noses. Really.

Right. What this statement tells me is that the guy who has supported cancel culture is now afraid that the left cannot control it any more. Either that or the former 1st liar is still lying and putting out false information.

Yeah well Biden is fulfilling your legacy and it’s just as crappy as the way you did it.
