Scott Jennings on CNN – Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Do you remember a single Democrat or person in media ever accusing Obama of war crimes or calling Obama a war criminal? It’s unthinkable, isn’t it? Even the slightest criticism of Obama while he was president got you accused of racism. Who on the left was calling him a war criminal?

It sounds like a total lie, yet people on CNN seem totally convinced that they and others routinely called Obama a war criminal and questioned his many drone strikes.

Of course, it’s totally possible that they are just lying. They’re trying to make it seem routine to use this type of accusation. See, we’re not biased against Trump, we definitely accused Obama of war crimes.

Scott Jennings clearly knows he is being lied to in this segment.

Townhall has more details on this:

If Barack Obama were blowing up narco-terrorists, would Democrats and the media be in an uproar? No. You know that already. That’s the ironic part of liberal America’s guffawing over Operation Southern Spear, which has been surgical in blasting narco-terrorists out of the sky in the Caribbean. Normal Americans don’t mind, but Democrats are viewing this like some illegal war, with President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth being worthy of being hauled to The Hague…

Scott Jennings: “Did you ever ask or wonder if Obama was committing war crimes?”

Jeff Flake: “Yes.”

Abby Phillip: “For the record, okay, for the record, there was bipartisan outrage over President Obama’s very liberal use of drone strikes.”

Scott Jennings: “Did anybody say Obama committed war crimes?”

Abby Phillip: “Hold on a second, yes.”

Scott Jennings: “Who?”

Abby Phillip: “Many people did. Many conservatives, many liberals did.”

Here’s the clip:

Jennings should have demanded proof. He should have said: Find me a video of a Democrat on this network calling Obama a war criminal.

We all know that no such video exists. If leftists really thought Obama was a war criminal, why didn’t Democrats ever impeach him? They never even talked about doing it because they all thought he could do no wrong.
