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.
