Former President Obama really stepped in it over the weekend, using the Cheesecake Factory in a lame attempt to bash President Trump.
Obama came off as an elitist snob.
Over on CNN, conservative commentator Scott Jennings offered a hilarious response to this, calling out the Democrats and Obama personally.
Even liberal panelist Van Jones thought it was funny.
Transcript via Steve Guest:
Jennings: “First of all, Liberace’s bathroom. Bill Clinton turned the Oval Office into Hugh Hefner’s bedroom, and he’s out here criticizing Donald Trump.”
Van Jones: Ba-dum tssss!!!!
Jennings: “Number two, has anybody seen Barack Obama’s presidential library, and he’s got design critiques for Donald Trump.
Number three, this was a totally unserious speech by someone who can’t get over one thing, that his presidency will be, will be remembered for, ruining healthcare and then ushering in the Trump years. That’s all Barack Obama gave the country. He’s been lashing out emotionally ever since. He campaigns every year on the same tired jokes, and it’s not gonna work.”

Jennings made a similar comment on Twitter/X:
Makes speeches for 500k a pop. Hasn’t eaten dinner that costs less than $250 in years. Has never been in a Cheesecake Factory. Undefeated at condescending to regular folks. Will always be known for a presidency that ushered in the Trump era to begin with. https://t.co/xgelqGtDbM

This was a very revealing moment for Obama.
He has made it quite clear what he thinks of average Americans who might enjoy a night out at a restaurant like the Cheesecake Factory.
He is an elitist who just doesn’t get it.
