    A false equivalency is saying Obama is as bad as Trump. I said Obama contributed to the trends that created Trump.https://twitter.com/Bill_Shapiro/status/880484581119590400 …

        yes, Obama being calm, well reasoned, factual contributed to Trump's lunacy, impulsive narcissism - I can see that - NOT

        Mr. Lewis, it's disgusting that you even try to defend this. President Obama never sank as low as you and donnie.

        I do think Obama disregarded people like me so much that they were desperate. They thought Trump was their only way out. Nuns did sue Obama

        He didn't fawn over white people like they were the only people in country. So to them, he ignored them.

        The main way Obama "contributed" was presidenting while black -- prompting the Birther movement.

        It was Trump that paved this path when he accused Megen Kelly of "bleeding from her whatever" before that "Fat Pig" was a common T comment

        .@mattklewis It's not even in the same Universe, let alone the same ballpark. It's indistinguishable from the Right's false equivalence.
