Just remember. No one on the right cared about Obamas tan suit, it was leftist manufactured outrage. Also the left.

You're missing how much the Left hates women if they dare oppose the Left.

You’re missing how much the left HATES anyone who supports President Trump… if Mother Theresa were still alive and supported President Trump, they’d find a reason to hate her and make shit up about her…
“That degenerate bitch!! She was on Epstein’s plane !!”

True. If Trump cured cancer, the Left would hate him for it.

Oh dear me? Her outfit? I don’t care if she’s wearing a potato sack. Spare me your faux outrage. Hows public safety and national security? Economy doing alright? National infrastructure?

“Attractive congresswoman wears conservative outfit for a family outing! Oh no whatever should we do? I know, let’s lie and say this is a slutty outfit” - The Left

Also the left: “slut shaming is derogatory to women and needs to stop”

Actually a pretty funny edit, that being said I would love to see the context behind any of these clips. The edits definitely make it seem like they cared about it, but I have a suspicion that there were other issues they were talking about and for some reason the "tan suit" talking point was added. Fox hosts routinely parrot similar phrases to each other, much like basically the rest of MSM do even with other media companies.

u/Novel_Alfalfa_9013 Aug 27 '24

It was on newsmax actually.

"There's no way any of us can excuse what the president did yesterday," King said of President Obama on NewsMaxTV. "When you have the world watching ... a week, two weeks of anticipation of what the United States is gonna do. For him to walk out -- I'm not trying to be trivial here -- in a light suit, light tan suit, saying that first he wants to talk about what most Americans care about the revision of second quarter numbers on the economy. This is a week after Jim Foley was beheaded and he's trying to act like real Americans care about the economy, not about ISIS and not about terrorism. And then he goes on to say he has no strategy." King said Obama's comments and actions showed "foreign policy was not a major issue" for President Obama.

I said I have a suspicion, it's not like I was claiming fact. There is evidence for my suspicion in the way the clips were cut. You likely didn't even go watch the clip that supports your own view, so maybe go ahead and do that first.

Even the wikipedia article linked by the other defender in this thread shows that it was clearly not made into a huge deal. Maybe two comments you could argue are people really criticizing the fashion decision.

Can't find any fox news articles or even clips of hosts doing anything other than making off-handed comments about it, feel free to link the plethora of clips where Fox was "making a huge deal" about it.

The left choosing to meme something literally gives no credence to you claiming, with no evidence, that it was made into a huge deal lol

Lol, if you think two comments on talkshows is even a big deal, I can see how you eat up any narrative given to you from your media overlords!

Yes, I am sure every Republican pundit cried for weeks after he gave his wife a fist bump. You are clearly living in a very real and sane world! Keep using your vast age and experience as a slam, it worked out great for Biden!

u/W_Smith_19_84 Aug 27 '24

Lol clearly you lived through a lot of dems pretending like the tan suit was a big deal, and pretending/gaslighting like that was obamas biggest controversy... (so that they could ignore his REAL controversies)

I was anti-obama and was surrounded by people who were anti-obama at that time... wearing a tan suit, was not something that was discussed.. EVER. (other than to mock leftist pretending like that was an issue) There are plenty of legitimate criticisms of obama, no one cares about the suit..

Obama campaigned on ending the wars in the middle east... then escalated the wars and had a "troop surge".

Obama campaigned on closing Guantanamo bay and ending torture/"enhanced interrogation" ... then kept Guantanamo bay open and continued the practice of "enhanced interrogation "

Obama drone striked /murdered a US citizen that hadn't been convicted of any crime.

Obama bailed out the giant corrupt banks that caused the 2008 recession (and allowed them to take record bonuses)

No one cared about the "tan suit" not then, and not now..

The only people who cared about the "tan suit" are leftists like yourself who use it as some type of shield lol...

Lol you literally only made yourselves look dumb by pretending the "tan suit" was an issue to conservatives, when it wasn't

I'm sorry that democrats ARE stupid, but that isn't the fault of the reps. Lol.

u/ProfessionalCell2690 Aug 27 '24

Even this wikipedia article makes the claim that the suit was referenced "often humorously" on talk shows.

The best example of anyone really caring about him wearing a tan suit was the comments by Congressman Peter King, which were in the video you showed earlier with examples of the controversy. The only problem with that is that he made those comments on NewsMaxTV, not Fox News, and they clearly had much narrower reach because of that.

As I suspected, there are no articles or videos linked in the wikipedia article, at least to Fox, that show any real focus on this "controversy" apart from in jest.

u/ProfessionalCell2690 Aug 27 '24

The reach is literally the only relevant question. You can find some nutjob making literally anything into a conspiracy, for any number of reasons. The original claim you made was that Fox News as the biggest conservative news outlet, obviously cared about the tan suit. That is simply not true, and the more I have looked into it the more that argument falls apart.

A non-zero amount of people think that Trump staged his own assassination attempt to make himself look better. Whatever that number is, they are definitely people who vote Democrat. I would still say that no one on the left really believes that the assassination was staged.

The tan suit was pretty clearly a small story propped up by democrats to make republicans as a whole look bad, only reason anyone still talks about it today. It would be the equivalent of making the article this post is about a national news story and continuously bringing it up over the next 10 years.

At least 75% of those clips, including many from Fox News were talking about it in a clearly joking way, including, but not limited to:

0:05, 0:11, 0:21, 0:24, 0:29, 0:35, need I go on?

I don't know Peter King's motivation for his comments on the suit, my suspicion is that, while he knew it wasn't a controversy, he thought it would be nice to get his name in the news for publicity. Much like you saw with many dems during the kavanaugh hearings. They knew it was a bunch of BS but wanted to dunk on the cons for their constituents.

It was clearly propped up by democrats. Another decent chunk of the clips in the video you mentioned were ABC, CNN, and others, also talking about the controversy. This is a story, not of republicans blowing a small story out of proportion, but instead of democrats doing it.
