Megyn Kelly Calls Barack Obama ‘the Most Divisive President’ in History, Compares Him to President Trump

Megyn Kelly was seemingly unhappy with former President Barack Obama’s recent call for “less division” in the United States.

During the Monday, June 22, episode of Kelly’s eponymous podcast, she discussed the 64-year-old politician’s speech at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago last week.

The podcaster, 55, played a few clips of Obama’s remarks, including one in which he declared, “People aren’t looking for perpetual anger and division. They are looking for fairness and common sense and mutual respect.”

Kelly repeated the sentiment and said that Obama “tips his hat to the ICE protesters in Minnesota,” seemingly referring to the January clash between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and protestors that led to the deaths of civilians Renée Good and Alex Pretti.

“I’m not sure he had his television on, because they bit the fingers off of an ICE agent. It didn’t feel mutually respectful to me, and it’s an obvious dig at President [Donald] Trump,” she said. “‘Mutual respect’ and ‘fairness’. He wants less division. He was the most divisive president we had had in modern history during his term.”

Kelly went on to complain about the Affordable Care Act, which Obama signed into law in 2010.

“Honestly, he was the one who seized 1/6 of the US economy, the health care system, and shoved a new system down the throats of Americans who did not want it,” she insisted. “It was the first time ever we created a new entitlement in the United States that did not have majority support. He shoved it down our throats with lies. ‘You can keep your plan if you like your plan. If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.’ So egregious that even his supporters, as time passed, would ultimately label those the lie of the year. That’s how egregious his falsehoods were about something as critical as your health care, and we knew it.”

Additionally, Kelly said that Obama’s delivery prevented him from the same kind of scrutiny as Trump, 80, garners.

“Those of us who objected to it back in the 2008 to 2010 time frame knew he was lying, because the experts made it clear he was,” she continued. “He just continued to do it through his teeth, but you see, he doesn’t get called out as a liar because he’s not brash, he’s not orange, he doesn’t have the hair, so we had to believe in him. We had to believe hope and change wouldn’t lie to us.”
