TPUSA correspondent Drew Hernandez confronted former President Barack Obama at a rally in Arizona, calling out his support of Dem. gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs despite her history of discrimination against black people.
Hernandez was in attendance at the event hosted at Cesar Chavez High School in Phoenix Wednesday, where he managed to trigger Obama before getting “deported” from the building.
“An economy that’s very good for folks at the very top, but not always so good for ordinary people,” Obama told the audience before being cut off by Hernandez, who shouted, “Like you Obama! Why do you support Katie Hobbs? Katie Hobbs discriminated against black people!”
Obama attempted to mitigate the interruption after taking notice of Hernandez, asking him, “Are you gonna start, you gonna start yelling?”
Obama later scolded Hernandez telling him,”You know, you, have to be polite and civil when people are talking then other people are talking and then you get a chance to talk. Set up your own rally. A lot of people worked hard for this.”
Hernandez continued, “Katie Hobbs discriminates against black people!” as Obama told him, “C’mon man.”
Hernandez was quickly whisked out of the rally, with Democrats wildly screaming obscenities at him.
On Twitter, Hernandez highlighted Hobbs’ firing of a black policy adviser in 2015 who had complained about low pay and Hobbs’ discomfort with minorities and people of color. That woman, Talonya Adams, later went on to win a $2 million lawsuit against the Arizona Senate for racial and sex discrimination, after which Hobbs issued an apology.

Obama’s interruption Wednesday came days after he was also confronted by protesters in Detroit, Michigan, over the weekend, where anti-war protesters accused Obama of getting the US into a war with Ukraine as early as 2014.
