Some of his statements are taken out of context to distort this view. https://news.stanford.edu/2022/04/21/disinformation-weakening-democracy-barack-obama-said/ https://apnews.com/article/Fact-Check-Obama-Stanford-Speech-Disinformation-455537414288 https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check-obama-disinfromation-idUSL1N2ZS1GG https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O7cDI28qy5Q https://www.newsweek.com/democrats-should-take-page-out-obamas-playbook-free-speech-opinion-1767482
