Obama Asks Muslim Americans How They Can Vote For Trump ‘Who Passed a Muslim Ban’ And Repeatedly Others Them

Former President Barack Obama spoke at a rally for Vice President Kamala Harris in North Philadelphia on Monday. Obama was joined by the likes of Bruce Springsteen and John Legend at the rally, where he repeated many of Harris’s campaign themes and sharpened his attacks further on Donald Trump.

“America is ready to turn the page. America is ready for a better start. We are ready for President Kamala Harris,” Obama told the cheering crowd.

As his remarks progressed, Obama called out several key voting blocs and made the case that a vote for Trump was against their own interests and values.

“If you’re a Christian and you care deeply about the abortion issue. I understand that, but does that mean you’ll support somebody who seems to violate pretty much every precept of the Ten Commandments?” Obama began, adding:

And if you are a service member and you’re somewhat conservative and you’re used to voting Republican, I can understand that. But but somebody who genuinely does not believe in duty and honor and does not understand why anybody would sacrifice themselves on behalf of their country. Why? Why would you do that?

“If you’re a Muslim American. And you’re upset about what’s happening in the Middle East. Why would you put your faith in somebody who passed a Muslim ban and repeatedly suggested that somehow you weren’t part of our American community?” continued Obama, who Trump regularly taunts by emphasizing his middle name “Hussein.”

“If you’re an African-American or Latino, if you’re from Puerto Rico and you see somebody whose values seem to indicate that you’re not part of their equation. How do you think it’s okay? How can you tell yourself it’s okay as long as our side wins?” added Obama to cheers.
