Obama Calls out
Political 'Demagogues'
at Ohio Rally Former President Barack Obama spoke at a campaign rally on behalf of Richard Cordray, Ohio's Democratic candidate for governor, on Thursday. Cordray is running against
Republican Mike DeWine,
who is known for his
opposition to Obamacare. During his speech, Obama blasted "demagogues who promise simple fixes to complicated problems" and implored supporters to vote on November 6. Though he never specifically mentioned
President Donald Trump, a reference to "the
person in the White House" was made, followed
by a statement that "none of this is normal." Obama went on to criticize Republicans in Congress, saying that instead of providing a system of checks and balances on Trump's behavior, "you see Republicans bending over backwards to be a shield." This was the third campaign appearance
for the former president in less than a week. Last Friday, he gave a speech at the University of Illinois and then campaigned for Democratic House challenger in Orange County the following day.
