Two co-hosts of the popular liberal podcast “Pod Save America” mocked President Trump over comments he made on Monday about their ex-boss, former President Obama.
During a Monday meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, Trump commented on the building of the Obama Presidential Center.
"He's building his library in Chicago," Trump said of Obama during the Oval Office meeting. "It's a disaster. And he said something to the effect, 'I only want DEI, I only want woke.'"
“He wants woke people to build it,” the president added. “Well, he got woke people and they have massive cost overruns, the job has stopped.”
In response to a clip featuring Trump’s comments, “Pod Save America” co-host and former National Security Council spokesperson Tommy Vietor said on the social platform X that he could “confirm that the people working on Obama's presidential center keep doing land acknowledgments and screaming their pronouns so no work is getting done.”
Jon Favreau, another “Pod Save America” co-host and a former Obama speechwriter, replied to Vietor’s post with a graphic titled “Pyramid of White Supremacy.”
“Frankly it's been hard to get past the foundation when you're building a presidential center for a neo-lib free trader who governed during the Great Recession,” Favreau said in his reply on X, with the graphic in his post featuring terms like “Neo-Liberalism,” “Free Trade” and “Great Recession” under a category labeled as the “Foundation” of the pyramid.
The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment.
"Everyone who sees the Obama Presidential Center is blown away by its beauty, scale and the way it will be an economic engine for Chicago and a beacon of hope for the world," Emily Bittner, vice president of communications the Obama Foundation, said in an emailed statement to The Hill on Tuesday.
"We look forward to welcoming all visitors to the 19.3-acre campus next spring, to experience a presidential center that not only honors the Obamas’ legacy but also lifts up the next generation of leaders," Bittner added.
