'I really feel like an idiot believing in Trump,' former Trump supporter David Weissman said, reiterating his views from a tweet in June.
A vocal supporter of President Donald Trump who has since flipped his views wrote an apology on President Barack Obama's 59th birthday Sunday for"hate" he directed at the former commander-in-chief when he believed Trump's accusations and had"racist tendencies."
Weissman, an Army veteran who stopped backing Trump in early 2018, wrote that he was"foolish and close-minded not to question the demonizing" of Obama on Fox News and other conservative media outlets. President Barack Obama reacts as the audience sings him a belated"Happy Birthday" at a campaign event in Chicago on August 12, 2012.In his letter, Weissman shared that he began engaging in political activism soon after 9/11 and that the first talk show hosts he ever watched were Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News. Weissman explained that he bought into claims that media outlets that were not conservative were fake news.
Weissman wrote that Obama was by no means perfect,"but he did not deserve the hatred he received while he was in office and even now, by me and other conservatives."
