In a new interview with 60 Minutes, former President Barack Obama is commenting on President Donald Trump's unfounded claims of voter fraud.
"They appear to be motivated, in part, because the president doesn't like to lose and never admits loss," Mr. Obama told Scott Pelley in a clip from the interview that aired on "CBS Evening News."
Moreover, the former president says members of the president's party who "go along with" his unfounded claims of election fraud put democracy on a dangerous path.
"I'm more troubled by the fact that other Republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humoring him in this fashion," Obama said. "It is one more step in delegitimizing not just the incoming Biden administration, but democracy generally. And that's a dangerous path."

(16,917 posts)when we would not hear a well-considered, well-thought out, extremely intelligent response regarding a serious question regarding the actual governmental process of our country.
Yes, PRESIDENT OBAMA could have "gone low" and nailed SO MANY regarding their actions related to BunkerBoy's refusal to "give it up" - but, as always, he shows what a MAGNIFICENT leader he was as PRESIDENT and continues to be as a representative of the BEST of what we could all be.
I would support a constitutional amendment to bring him back for a third term!
