In the grand theatre of American politics, where the elite script their utopias on the backs of forgotten citizens, Barack Obama's recent remarks at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie, Pennsylvania, on September 16, 2025, stand as a masterclass in deflection and denial. Just six days after the brutal assassination of Charlie Kirk, a fearless voice against the very policies Obama championed, the former president took the stage to defend his "experiment" in mass migration. Yes, you read that right: experiment. As if flooding the heartland with millions of unvetted migrants from every corner of the globe was just a petri dish project in some Ivy League lab, not a deliberate demolition of the American nation.
From a MAGA perspective, this isn't mere rhetoric; it's the smoking gun of elite arrogance. Obama, the architect of the open-borders era, didn't just admit to engineering this demographic upheaval, he romanticised it, even as the blood of Kirk, a 31-year-old patriot gunned down on a Utah college campus, still stains the narrative of national unity. Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, spent his life exposing the "great replacement" not as conspiracy, but as cold, hard policy: a bipartisan betrayal that shifts wealth from American workers to cheap foreign labour, erodes cultural cohesion, and turns sovereign communities into balkanised battlegrounds. And for daring to say it aloud? A Leftist sniper's bullet from a rooftop, courtesy of a 22-year-old Leftist ideologue named Tyler Robinson, who texted his intent like it was a grocery list.
Let's rewind the tape on Obama's words, because they drip with the condescension that MAGA has railed against since 2016. "There's never been an experiment like this, where you have people from every corner of the globe show up in one place," he intoned, invoking the Declaration of Independence like a shield against scrutiny. He name-dropped George W. Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney as fellow believers in this multicultural miracle, as if their failed visions, endless wars abroad, amnesty pushes at home, somehow validate the chaos. Obama paints it as a noble test of American ideals: "We can somehow figure out how to get along... retain aspects of the cultures that we bring... and yet still decide that we are all Americans." Beautiful prose. But reality? It's a farce.
This "experiment" isn't innovation; it's invasion by invitation. Under Obama's watch from 2009 to 2017, he appointed Alejandro Mayorkas, yes, the same Mayorkas impeached for border failures, to a top DHS role, setting the stage for the Biden-era deluge that saw over 10 million encounters at the southern border. Wages stagnated for blue-collar Americans while corporations gorged on remittances and low-wage serfs. Communities like Springfield, Ohio, weren't "enriched," they were overwhelmed, schools strained, hospitals bankrupted, and crime spiked with Venezuelan gangs turning quiet streets into no-go zones. And the civic conflict Obama so delicately "acknowledges"? It's the fruit of his tree: a nation fractured along racial and cultural lines, where "bipartisanship worked pretty well... when everybody looked the same." Translation: Diversity isn't our strength; it's the establishment's divide-and-conquer strategy.
Now, tie this to Kirk's murder, and the hypocrisy screams. On September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, Kirk was mid-debate, tackling tough topics like mass shootings and cultural decay, when a single supersonic round pierced his neck from 142 yards away. The suspect, Robinson, left notes and engravings on his ammo like "Hey fascist, catch!" a chilling echo of the Left's dehumanising rhetoric. Progressives, as Breitbart noted, didn't mourn; some celebrated online, dubbing Kirk a "hate-monger" silenced at last. Enter Obama, days later, feigning civility: "I didn't know Charlie Kirk... I think [his] ideas were wrong... Those are topics that we have to be able to discuss honestly." Discuss? Kirk tried, through rallies, podcasts, and unfiltered truth-telling, and got a bullet for it. Obama's call for "respect" rings hollow when his administration's policies fuelled the very grievances Kirk amplified: the elite's wealth-shifting, population-changing imposition.
MAGA sees through the gaslighting. This isn't about "debate"; it's about survival. Obama's "political crisis... we haven't seen before" is the direct descendant of his deferred action amnesties and refugee surges, policies Trump vowed to dismantle and, in his 2025 return, is aggressively reversing with ICE raids and border walls. Remember Obama's own words in that Erie speech: Under Trump, "We're okay with just breaking the rules... National Guard folks deployed who are setting up checkpoints... ICE agents who are checking people's IDs." He's not defending ideals; he's mourning the end of his borderless fantasy. And in blaming "changes in the economy, demographics, and technology," he dodges the mirror: Those demographics he engineered.
Charlie Kirk's death isn't a footnote, it's a flare in the night, illuminating the stakes. Kirk wasn't just a commentator; he was a missionary for American exceptionalism, rallying Gen Z against the soul-crushing sameness of woke indoctrination. Even Cardinal Timothy Dolan called him a "modern day St. Paul," an evangelist for truth in a sea of lies. Yet Obama reduces him to a disagreeable idea, urging "respect" while his ideological heirs cheer the shot.
From the MAGA vantage, Obama's defence isn't leadership, it's legacy laundering. He built the machine: DACA's shadows, sanctuary cities' shields, and a media echo chamber that brands border hawks as "racists.' Trump, Vance, and the America First brigade are the mechanics shutting it down, deploying the Guard not as "breaking rules," but enforcing them, for the first time in decades. The "experiment" failed because it was never about equality; it was about extraction. Extracting votes from new arrivals, dollars from taxpayers, and sovereignty from the states.
In the end, Obama's words aren't a eulogy for unity; they're an epitaph for his own failed vision. We're done with the lab rats. Build the wall at last. Deport the invaders.
"Neil Munro, Breitbart, September 17, 2025
Former President Barack Obama is trying to manage and redirect the huge civic conflicts that he fuelled with his "experiment" in nation-changing mass migration.
"[I] insist that in that process of debate, we respect other people's right to say things that we profoundly disagree with," Obama told a September 16 public meeting at the Jefferson Educational Society, six days after progressives began celebrating Kirk's shocking murder.
"I didn't know Charlie Kirk … I think [his] ideas were wrong," he said, adding:
I can disagree with some of [Kirk's] broader suggestions that liberals and Democrats are promoting conspiracy to displace whites and replace them by ushering in illegal immigrants. Those are … topics that we have to be able to discuss honestly and forthrightly.
Krik repeatedly criticized migration as a wealth-shifting, population-changing imposition by the bipartisan establishment.
Yet at the same event, Obama acknowledged that mass migration is an elite-driven "experiment" which has created and fuelled civic conflict.
"There's never been an experiment [emphasis added] like this, where you have people from every corner of the globe show up in one place," Obama said, adding:
[We] say, based on these ideals — we hold these truths to be self-evident…all men are created equal … and a constitution and a Bill of Rights and a democracy — that we can somehow figure out how to get along and maintain our private beliefs and pray to god in our own ways, and retain aspects of the cultures that we bring from wherever it is that we're coming from, and yet still decide that we are all Americans … and try to make it better for each successive generation.
"I think George W. Bush believed that [it is possible] … I know John McCain believed it. I know Mitt Romney believed it," Obama added at 23 minutes.
The imposed diversity has generated civic conflict, Obama admitted:
The point is, is that bipartisanship worked pretty well in Washington when everybody looked the same. And it was harder to do when people started seeing that, "Hey, those folks are now here, too."
"The country right now is going through sort of a political crisis of the sort that we haven't seen before," he admitted.
Through clever innuendo and seemingly noncommittal suggestion, Barack Obama has spent two decades subtly dividing America socially, racially, and politically.
Obama is known for making his points with surgical precision. No one can deny that, armed with a sharpened teleprompter, an emotionally detached Barack Obama appears as a methodical, unemotional speaker skilled at disguising deep-seated hostility as civility.
The former president's detached eloquence bears resemblance to that of the fictional character, serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter.
Hannibal had a complex psyche that could be hidden behind a refined manner of expressing rage, with his wrath concealed behind a façade of feigned grace and collegiality; that is precisely what Barack Obama does.
From the beginning, Obama worked hard to craft the narrative that the real threat to this nation was patriotic Americans who adhered to the Constitution. It started in April 2009, when the newly elected president directed Janet Napolitano's DHS to focus on nonexistent right-wing threats in America. The administration's assessment titled, "Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Radicalization and Recruitment," became the basis for a tone that would define an aggressive presidency — where everyone from pro-lifers to the military, pro-Second Amendment activists, and Americans advocating for immigration law were viewed as threats.
The racial element that sparked division in America was fueled by the statement in the document that mentioned recruitment for right-wing extremism was vigorous among those most upset about "the election of the first African-American president."
Fast forward sixteen years, and like Hannibal Lecter sending condolences to his victim's family, at the Jefferson Educational Society's 17th annual global summit in Erie, Pennsylvania, a blasé former president decided he needed to extend sympathy for the death of Charlie Kirk, who was murdered on September 10th by a trans activist's assassin's bullet during his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University.
After calling Kirk's death "horrific and a tragedy," void of even a modicum of self-awareness, Obama proceeded to blame none other than Donald Trump for sowing political division and inciting a "political crisis," which resulted in the slaying of Trump's most ardent defender.
About Charlie Kirk, Obama had this to say,
Obviously, I didn't know Charlie Kirk; I was generally aware of some of his ideas. I think those ideas were wrong, but that doesn't negate the fact that what happened was a tragedy and that I mourn for him and his family.
Coolly, Obama informed global summit attendees that for him, ideas like devout Christianity, patriotism, intellectual brilliance, the sanctity of life, and all things good, holy, and sane were "wrong."
Calling shooting someone through the jugular on live stream a "tragedy," Obama forgot to mention his participation in fueling years of transgender activism.
The former president also forgot to inform his audience that, unlike the LGBTQ community, he did not "see" nor "stand" with the likes of Charlie Kirk, nor did he ever state that "dignity, equality, and justice are fundamental to ensuring that [people like Charlie Kirk] feel safe and protected."
Besides trying to shame a dead man by taking everything he ever said out of context, Obama haltingly went on to tell his captivated audience that the country is facing a "political crisis of the sort that we haven't seen before."
Then, while distancing himself from decades of promoting far-left ideas, with the precision of a surgeon dividing a skull from a brain without causing harm, Obama offered the opinion that extremism is common at both ends of the political spectrum.
The entire encounter can be compared to Lecter picking his teeth with a human thigh bone, all the while claiming he's a vegetarian.
Then, the author of the April 2009 treatise on right-wing extremism, the person who coined the term "tea baggers," agrees with abandoning babies born alive in botched abortions without medical intervention, sending transgenders into restrooms with women, and is the agitator who weaponized the federal government to pursue and prosecute his political enemies, continued by saying,
Those extreme views were not in my White House. I wasn't empowering them. I wasn't putting the weight of the United States government behind them. When we have the weight of the United States government behind extremist views, we've got a problem.
When an extremist is authorized to use the "weight of the United States government" to indoctrinate and oppress a nation for eight years, and then calls those exposing that corruption "extremists," that's when it's time to point out that he's the one who's "got a problem."
Fictional character Hannibal Lecter is depicted as a master manipulator who uses gaslighting tactics against his enemies, which is not surprising. A former forensic psychiatrist, Lecter is skilled at blurring the line between rapport and rivalry, causing his victims to lose their ability to think clearly or know who to trust. This is similar to how Barack Obama's twisted interpretation of facts has affected the American public's ability to discern that they have been victims of his psychological manipulation.
In the wake of Kirk's death, the man known for insisting that the First Amendment should be limited to control his definition of "disinformation" took the opportunity to accuse the current White House of seeking to "silence discussion."
Obama shared that the Trump administration promised to take action against social media users who celebrated Charlie's death. Like Hannibal Lecter using his position to frame his colleague, the man who publicly and privately silenced every critic — from the Supreme Court to conservative businesses seeking tax-exempt status to critics of Benghazi — dared to accuse the Trump administration of exactly what his far-left critics have been guilty of doing for years.
Obama, whose party labeled patriotic Americans racists, extremists, terrorists, and fascists, exploited projection like Hannibal Lecter, yielding a karambit knife when he said:
When I hear not just our current president, but his aides, who have a history of calling political opponents 'vermin,' enemies who need to be 'targeted,' that speaks to a broader problem that we have right now, and something that we're going to have to grapple with — all of us.
Attempting to place a proper-fitting "bite restraint muzzle" on Obama, the Trump White House spokeswoman, Abigail Jackson, responded to the former president's comments in the following way:
Barack Hussein Obama is the architect of modern political division in America — famously demeaning millions of patriotic Americans who opposed his liberal agenda as 'bitter' for 'cling(ing) to guns or religion,' Obama used every opportunity to sow division and pit Americans against each other, and following his presidency more Americans felt Obama divided the country than felt he united it.
His division has inspired generations of Democrats to slander their opponents as 'deplorables,' or 'fascists,' or 'Nazis. If he cares about unity in America, he would tell his own party to stop their destructive behavior.
Barack Obama set the table and, during his eight years in office, he carefully sliced up his political enemies while displaying both the charm and brutality embodied by the fictional character Hannibal Lecter.
Lest we forget, it was Obama who once said this about Republicans, "If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."
Therefore, if it's true that "words cut deeper than a knife," thanks to the animosity Obama has been skillfully fueling since he entered politics, Charlie Kirk, a man whose honest words strike at the core of the agenda Barack Obama has been nurturing throughout his career, lost his life to a bolt-action rifle brought to the fight by one of Obama's star pupils.
