Bullet points of Ari Fleischer Pretends They Weren't Calling Obama A Communist Back In The Day
- Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary, claimed that Kamala Harris is trying to rebrand herself as Obama 2.0 and is getting help from the media.
- Fleischer lied about who sank the public option in the Affordable Care Act, blaming Obama when in reality it was Joe Lieberman who threatened to filibuster the bill if the public option was included.
- Fleischer accused Harris of being a far-left liberal and claimed she is the personification of the Democratic Party's shift to the left.
- Fleischer criticized Harris for endorsing Medicare for all and said she wants to get rid of private insurance, but Obama was a centrist and did not support these policies.
- Fleischer's claims were debunked by multiple Twitter users who pointed out that Obama did not rule out the public option, but rather it was removed due to a lack of votes.
- Fleischer's lies were also criticized by Twitter users who noted that Republicans are known for crying communism and that Obama was a moderate president who passed the ACA despite Republican opposition.
- The public option was removed from the ACA due to a compromise between Obama and Lieberman, and Fleischer's claims that Obama sank the public option are false.
- Fleischer's accusations against Harris were seen as an attempt to distract from Trump's own failures and to smear Harris as a socialist or communist.
