Obama’s Ilhan Omar Defense Sparks Immediate Hypocrisy Backlash

3 Martini Lunch – Political Humor & Commentary

Show Notes

Join Jim and Greg for the Monday 3 Martini Lunch as they consider Barack Obama having the gall of accusing others of targeting Americans for their political beliefs and speech, the radical left in France continuing to burn down the nation's history and culture, Abdul El-Sayed's absurd explanation for why his family calls him "Abdul," and a special anniversary for our podcast.

First, they shake their heads as former President Obama vigorously defends Rep. Ilhan Omar and denounces the Trump administration for an allegedly political raid and investigation. Obama also pretends to be a fierce guardian of not targeting people for their political beliefs or speech, but his record tells a very different story.

Next, they fume over the left continuing to riot and destroy in France. Somehow "protests" over education are leading to widespread arson and other destruction, including the torching of the historic town hall in Limoges. Jim and Greg explain why this chaos has nothing to do with the stated issues and how weak the French government looks in response.

Then, they roll their eyes as Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed was found claiming back in 2018 that his family started calling him by a shorter first name because Paula Abdul became famous.

Finally, Jim and Greg celebrate 16 years and counting of the 3 Martini Lunch.
