Pot Meet Kettle … More Craziness From Tammy Bruce

Media Matters for America has audio of Tammy Bruce trashing President Obama and Michelle Obama. This is the same Tammy Bruce who said “we have trash in the White House” in reference to Barack and Michelle Obama. So, bashing the president on personal and political levels is nothing new to her.

Here is an excerpt from a Huffington Post story to help put Bruce’s stunning hatred of the Obamas in some perspective.

Discussing the first lady’s visit to a Washington D.C. classroom last week, Bruce incredulously recalled Obama’s story about wanting to get A’s in school and called out her use of a “weird, fake accent.”

“That’s what he’s married to,” Bruce said. “…You know what we’ve got? We’ve got trash in the White House. Trash is a thing that is colorblind, it can cross all eco-socionomic…categories. You can work on Wall Street, or you can work at the Wal-Mart. Trash, are people who use other people to get things, who patronize others, who consider you bitter and clingy…”

That brings me to one of the latest comments of hate from Bruce toward the Obamas.

Here is the Media Matters headline:

Bruce: Michelle and Barack Obama are “unhappy people” who project their “hostility and bitterness” onto country.

Bitterness and hostility are two of the attacks so often used against black people. That’s quite the sad comment from Bruce. Wow, talk about the pot calling the kettle black … oops … maybe the pot did call the kettle black, but using different language.

I suspect Tammy Bruce was speaking more about herself than about President Obama and Michelle Obama.
