CNN’s Hunt: Democrats ‘Were Very Unhappy’ with Scale of Obama Deportations

Listen to Article

CNN’s Kasie Hunt just dropped a truth bomb on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher, admitting that Democrats were very unhappy with the sheer scale of deportations under Barack Obama—the guy they now lionize as the deportation king. Hunt was breaking down ICE policy when Maher probed, and she laid it bare: Obama’s administration shipped out over 3 million people, more than any president before or since, earning him the nickname Deporter-in-Chief from immigrant advocates. This isn’t some dusty trivia; it’s a glaring hypocrisy spotlighted in real-time, as Democrats today clutch pearls over border enforcement while conveniently forgetting their own champion’s aggressive playbook.

What’s fascinating here is the selective amnesia tying straight into the 2A fight. Obama’s deportation machine relied on the same federal overreach—vast surveillance, ATF stings, and executive fiat—that gun owners have long battled against. Remember Operation Fast and Furious? That ATF fiasco under Obama funneled guns to cartels, killing Border Patrol agent Brian Terry and eroding trust in federal agencies like ICE and ATF. Democrats howled when Obama deported en masse, yet they’re fine weaponizing those same bureaucracies to confiscate firearms via red flag laws or universal background checks. It’s the same beast: unchecked executive power that Democrats cheer when it targets illegals or law-abiding gun owners alike.

For the 2A community, this is red meat—proof that the anti-gun left’s common sense reforms are just Trojan horses for broader control. If they flipped on their deportation darling over scale, imagine their endgame for registries and seizures. Stay vigilant; today’s Hunt revelation is a reminder that consistency is the left’s kryptonite, and we’re armed with the facts to call it out. Share this far and wide—let’s keep the heat on.
