Greg Kelly on NEWSMAX blasted Barack Obama as a “dirty dog” over allegations of a staged coup against Donald Trump during the 2016 election. Kelly, a prominent conservative voice, accused Obama of orchestrating efforts to undermine Trump’s campaign through underhanded tactics. He argued this was an unprecedented attack on American democracy by a sitting president.
Kelly claimed Obama used intelligence agencies to spy on Trump’s team under false pretenses. He emphasized that these actions violated constitutional norms and targeted a political opponent unfairly. The host described it as a coordinated plot involving high-level officials to sabotage Trump’s presidency before it began.
The segment highlighted how Obama’s administration allegedly weaponized investigations to create the Russia collusion narrative. Kelly asserted this was a deliberate smear campaign lacking evidence from the start. He noted that subsequent probes found no collusion, proving the allegations were baseless.
Kelly condemned the media for ignoring Obama’s role while relentlessly pursuing Trump. He contrasted the lack of coverage on the alleged coup with intense scrutiny of Trump’s later actions. This bias, he argued, exposed a double standard in mainstream journalism protecting Democratic interests.
The host connected Obama’s actions to broader Democratic strategies of using institutions against opponents. He cited examples like the FBI’s involvement and unmasking requests targeting Trump associates. Kelly insisted this politicization damaged trust in federal agencies permanently.
Obama’s legacy, according to Kelly, is tainted by this “dirty” operation against a duly elected president. He called it an assault on the peaceful transfer of power that defines American democracy. The tactics used, Kelly warned, set a dangerous precedent for future elections.
Kelly urged viewers to reject such underhanded politics and support transparency. He praised NEWSMAX for covering truths others ignore and called Obama’s actions unpatriotic. The segment framed the 2016 events as a scandal overshadowing Obama’s presidency.
The commentary concluded by stressing the need for accountability to prevent similar abuses. Kelly insisted Americans deserve leaders who fight fairly, not through covert schemes. His fiery critique embodied conservative outrage over what he termed the “deep state’s” manipulation of democracy.
