In reply to the discussion: No, We are NOT Going to Blame Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [View all]luvtheGWN
(1,336 posts)60. Absolutely correct, Trisha.
The GOP, led by Trump at every single campaign event, would have said "You lie", "Fake News" etc. In fact, I wonder if the Russian hacking was the catalyst leading Trump to start the whole "fake news" trope. And remember, the Obama administration contacted all the state admins to get them to tighten their voting mechanisms, and none did. And Obama went to the GOP turtleship and was told not to publicize it.

I LOVE Obama. I also wish he had been more aggressive vs. the hacking. I don't see a conflict there.
