Obama Gets FURIOUS, Demands Pro-Trump Group Be Censored

Editor

Former President Barack Obama is furious after seeing an ad targeting Joe Biden. He's so furious that he's even trying to censor a Pro-Trump group for airing the ad.

The ad was created by the Committee to Defend the President which is a Republican super PAC. They started airing the ad on television stations in South Carolina.

The reason he's mad about it is because the video includes an excerpt from the former President’s book, “Dreams from My Father.” The passage describes how the Democratic Party has engaged in “plantation politics” and takes for granted black voters.

According to The Hill,

Titled “Enough Empty Promises,” the ad starts by saying "Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie. Here's President Obama."

The ad then uses excerpts from Obama's 1995 memoir "Dreams from My Father," taking out of context a conversation that Obama had with a barber in Chicago about the brutal and cruel treatment the black community had endured.

"Plantation politics. Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. But when the so-called Black committeemen came around election time, we'd all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey," Obama reads in the audiobook recording.

The letter says the ad's "unauthorized use" of Obama's "name, image, likeness, voice and book passage is clearly intended to mislead the target audience of the ad into believing that the passage from the audiobook is a statement that was made by President Obama during his presidency, when it was in fact a statement made by a barber in a completely different context more than 20 years ago."

Former President Obama's lawyers and wrote the group a cease and desist letter: “This unauthorized use of President Obama’s name, image, likeness, voice and book passage is clearly intended to mislead the target audience of the ad into believing that the passage from the audiobook is a statement that was made by President Barack Obama during his presidency, when it was in fact made by a barber in a completely different context more than 20 years ago." To this end, the Committee to Defend the President must immediately remove this ad … further the Committee to Defend the President must agree on behalf of itself and all affiliated entities to refrain from future misuse of President Obama’s intellectual property or right of publicity.”

Obama's spokeswoman Katie Hill said the ad was “despicable” and “Straight out of the Republican disinformation playbook.”

“In the interest of truth in advertising, we are calling on TV stations to take this ad down and stop playing into the hands of bad actors who seek to sow division and confusion among the electorate,” Hill added.

Ted Harvey who is the chairman of the group isn’t backing down and said, “The Committee has a long history of taking on Joe Biden, beyond Nevada and South Carolina. President Obama made a point in his book about Democrats paying lip-service to the African-American community and we believe his point applies perfectly to Joe Biden.

It took President Trump to lower black unemployment and create jobs for the African-American community, in addition to passing criminal justice reform. Joe Biden, on the other hand, is simply giving lip-service for votes. That’s the point President Obama made in his book, and we have every right to use his own words — in his own voice — in the political forum”
