In Monday’s episode of “The Michael Knowles Show,” the Daily Wire podcast host compared the lies President Obama told to the lies that are attributed to President Trump, and it didn’t turn out well for the former.
“Barack Obama, he’s out on the campaign trail again. He is out there calling Donald Trump a shameless liar,” said Knowles. After playing a clip of the previous commander-in-chief attacking the current administration, Knowles criticized Obama for trying to deflect from his own falsehoods as president.
“Obviously, the essence of this is absurd because when you compare Barack Obama’s lies to Donald Trump’s lies there is no comparison,” said Knowles. “They are utterly different. He’s saying that Donald Trump shamelessly lies. Shamelessly. (Trump) has exaggerated the truth. I’m willing to say that. He has said a couple things that quite literally are not true you know. What does he do? He exaggerates a crowd size every now and again. He exaggerates this. I mean he’s been doing this whole career. It’s huge! It’s gonna be the biggest the greatest! Okay that is what Donald Trump does. His lies are exaggerating how many people came to his rally. By the way, tens of thousands, hundred thousand people come to his rallies and he exaggerated by ten thousand and they call it a lie.”
Obama’s lies, he suggested, are far worse: “What are Barack Obama’s lies like? …. He says that you can keep your doctor then he upends a sixth of the U.S. economy and you can’t keep your doctor. He says that an attack on our consulate was caused by some poor guy who made a YouTube video. A weird little YouTube video that nobody saw. In reality, it was Islamic terrorists in a pre-planned premeditated attack on September 11th, 2012. Those are totally different. Give me the guy who lies about the crowd size any day of the week.”
“Every time he opens his mouth, Donald Trump gets 10k votes,” Knowles said earlier. “That’s how it works. I can’t wait. I hope that NRCC, the NRSC, the RNC, all the GOP, all of the conservative institutions are paying Barak Obama’s speaker fees, because every time he opens his mouth, we get a lot closer to winning in the midterms and the 2020 election.”

Barack Obama, he’s out on the campaign trail again. He is out there calling Donald Trump a shameless liar.
Calling doctors that you can’t keep doctors that you can keep!
Calling terrorist attacks in our consulate in Benghazi a spontaneous response to a youtube video! Oh no, wait a minute. We have seen all of that, from you, from you, you shameless, cynical partisan hack. Chicago machine, oily..every time he opens his mouth, Donald Trump gets 10k votes. That’s how it works. I can’t wait. I hope that NRCC, the NRSC, the RNC, all the GOP, all of the Conservative institutions are paying Barak Obama’s speaker fees, because every time he opens his mouth, we get a lot closer to winning in the midterms and the 2020 election.
By the way, I just want to make a point, people are always talking about Barak Obama, what a rhetorician, the greatest orator since Pericles, oh what wonderful soaring speeches from Barak Obama compared to Donald Trump who can’t even spell on twitter.
First of all, I was never horribly impressed with, well maybe I was horribly impressed, but I never much admired President Trump’s speeches with one or two exception, but listen to how he opened that. The guy who supposedly possesses a tremendously advanced command of the English language.
He opens up, he says you know: and sometimes I’m all like blah blah blah blah blah and then Michelle she’s all like blah blah blah like. He’s speaking like a little millennial girl: and I’m like and then she was like and then he was like and I feel like just totally feel like lalalalala, but obviously the essence of this is absurd because when you compare Barack Obama’s lies to Donald Trump’s lies there is no comparison. They are utterly different. He’s saying that Donald Trump shamelessly lies. Shamelessly.
He has exaggerated the truth. I’m willing to say that. He has said a couple things that quite literally are not true you know. What does he do? He exaggerates a crowd size every now and again. He exaggerates this. I mean he’s been doing this whole career. It’s huge! It’s gonna be the biggest the greatest!
Okay that is what Donald Trump does. His lies are exaggerating how many people came to his rally. By the way, tens of thousands, hundred thousand people come to his rallies and he exaggerated by ten thousand and they call it a lie.
What are Barack Obama’s lies like? They’re like: hey you can’t keep your doctor like like like you know and I’m like and he’s like. Those are what those lies are like. He says that you can keep your doctor then he upends a sixth of the US economy and you can’t keep your doctor.
He says that an attack on our consulate was caused by some poor guy who made a YouTube video. A weird little YouTube video that nobody saw. In reality, it was Islamic terrorists in a pre-planned premeditated attack on September 11th, 2012.
Those are totally different. Give me the guy who lies about the crowd size any day of the week.
