Dan Bongino said Saturday on Fox & Friends that former President Barack Obama’s speech, which blasted President Trump and the GOP, was “disgraceful.”
Obama received the Paul H. Douglas Award for Ethics in Government at the University of Illinois on Friday, and the speech marked his return to the campaign trail in an effort to rally Democrats ahead of November’s midterm elections.
The former president warned there are “dire” consequences to staying on the sidelines, adding that “powerful and privileged” people want to “keep us angry.”
“It did not start with Donald Trump,” Obama said. “He is a symptom, not the cause. He’s just capitalizing on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years.”
Bongino blasted the former president, saying he used identity politics create division within the Democratic Party.

Shortly after Obama made his remarks, Kris Paronto, a former Army Ranger who was a private security contractor working for the CIA at the CIA annex in Benghazi, slammed Obama.
Paronto, who is credited with saving approximately 20 people during the attack, wrote on Twitter:
