Matt Walsh Torches Obama’s Defense of ‘Pornographic Books’ About ‘Gay Sex’

Daily Wire host Matt Walsh torched former President Barack Obama‘s defense of “pornographic books” about “gay sex” after Obama spoke out against what he called the ban on books that “shaped” his life.

“The Matt Walsh Show” podcast host on Tuesday called out the former president who spoke out on Twitter against the “banning of books” that he said “shaped my life and the lives of so many others” that are “being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas or perspectives.”

Walsh went on to read the former leader’s tweet which included a lengthy letter about freedom of speech.

“In any democracy, the free exchange of ideas is an important part of making sure that citizens are informed, engaged and feel like their perspective matters,” Obama’s letter read. “So important, in fact, that here in America, the First Amendment of our Constitution states that freedom begins with our capacity to share and access ideas even, and maybe especially the ones we disagree with.”

Barack Obama has finally come out as gay. At least that must be what he's saying, because he says that the books that are being challenged in schools are the ones that shaped his life…but the only books that anyone on the right is challenging are pornographic books about gay… pic.twitter.com/9Kf0zqek6M

The former president wrote that “books have always shaped how I experience the world. Writers like Mark Twain and Toni Morrison, Walt Whitman and James Baldwin taught me something essential about our country’s character, reading about people whose lives were very different from mine … some of the books that shape my life and the lives of many others are being challenged by people who disagree with certain ideas of perspective.”

Walsh read on, noting that Obama wrote that it was “no coincidence that these banned books are often written by or feature people of color Indigenous people and members of the LGBTQ plus community.”

“All right, so the headline here is that Barack Obama has finally come out as gay,” the podcast host told his audience. “We knew it would happen eventually. And and here we are. It finally happened officially. At least that must be what he’s saying.”

“I can only assume that’s what he’s saying, because he says that the books that are being challenged, quote unquote, are the ones that shaped his life,” he added. “But literally the only books that anyone on the right is challenging are pornographic books about gay sex.”

“Those are the only ones that that anyone on our side has raised an objection to,” Walsh continued. “And when it comes to challenging them, we have specifically challenged their presence in schools. We have challenged the schools that distribute pornographic books to kids. That is what we are challenging. That is the challenge that Barack Obama is referring to. And so if some of these challenge books are what shaped his life, then we can only assume that his life was shaped by pornographic books about gay sex.”

Walsh pointed out Obama and others on the left’s hypocrisy when it comes to free speech on social media and the internet, noting when it comes to that arena the left believe “free speech” needs to be shut down.

“That’s when their tone suddenly changes really drastically,” the host said. “And now, instead of talking about how freedom begins with our capacity to share and access ideas, now they’re going to talk about things like stochastic terrorism, how you could be a terrorist for having a viewpoint that other people find disturbing.”

“Yeah, they care so much about sharing and access, accessing ideas, but they think that you should be banned from every social media platform in the world,” he added. “If you say that you know a male is a man and not a woman, that’s how much they care about free speech, obviously.”
