Barack Obama Says The ‘Silent’ Part Out Loud With ‘Unimaginable’ Trump https://www.huffpost.com/entry/obama-trump-universities-law-firms-hamilton-college-speech_n_67ef6831e4b0fe50ebd39bc8

Barack Obama didn’t need to name-drop Donald Trump on Thursday to take a swing at how conservatives treated his time in the Oval Office compared to the current president.
“It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me or a whole bunch of my predecessors,” said Obama as he reportedly drew applause in a speech at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York.

The former president — in a speech that attendees were barred from recording — was referring to the Trump administration’s attacks against law firms as well as funding threats toward universities, which have been fueled by claims that schools aren’t protecting Jewish students from antisemitism.
The speech was detailed by CNN Politics writer/editor David Wright in a thread on X, formerly Twitter.
Obama, per Wright’s rundown, continued, “Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated that you will not be allowed into government buildings. We will punish you economically for dissenting from the [ACA] or the Iran Deal.”
