Obama’s blunt message for Democrats: ‘Toughen up’ | CNN Politics
www.cnn.com
Former President Barack Obama issued a call to action for Democrats at a private fundraiser in New Jersey on Friday evening, urging those frustrated by the state of the country under President Donald Trump to “stand up for the things that you think are right.”

“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

    I didn’t take them out of context.

    You did.

    He admitted he thinks there are some great candidates that we should support but doesn’t have the courage to back the one needing it most, or alternatively he doesn’t support him.

    He voiced support for the candidates he was there to voice support for. He was not talking about Mamdani by design, as stated. Saying he ignored him is the definition of taking him out of context.

    I didn’t imply he dissed mamdani, just that he’s a coward for not talking about one of the most watched races in the country at the moment.

    Do you even hear yourself.

    The DNC is actively not supporting the winner of a dem primary.

    Stop being wrong.

    I’m also not saying he’s mean. He’s either a coward or doesn’t care. Possibly both.

    Okay we’re done.
