Former President Barack Obama complained Thursday that American politics had reverted to the “19th century.”
Obama was stumping for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Murphy, according to The Hill.
Obama’s complaint about the “19th century” echoes a similar complaint made by his administration. In 2014, then-Secretary of State John Kerry complained that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behaving in a “19th century fashion” rather than obeying the niceties of 21st century diplomacy when he invaded Crimea. Critics called that a sign of the naïveté of the administration in assuming that concerns about territory, and defensible borders, were outdated.
