SCOTT ADAMS: How many of you found out that Obama's hoaxes—which would include the Russia hoax, and it would also include the "fine people" hoax, because Obama was behind that and Biden running for office—those two hoaxes, I would argue, ruined my life.
Let me say that again.
Those two hoaxes—Russia, Russia, Russia, and the "fine people" hoax—ruined my life.
Because those are the hoaxes that allowed my entire social group to say, “Are you kidding me? You're backing Trump? Trump's a Russian puppet, and he said that neo-Nazis are fine people. So we can't even talk to you again. You're so bad that we can't invite you anywhere, we can't be your friend, and you should just f--k off.”
So this is very personal to me.
What Obama did was he divided the country with these hoaxes. Because if you imagine a different history—where there had never been a Russia hoax, and there had never been a “fine people” hoax—those were the two primary ways that people became anti-Trumpers. Like really serious ones, where the TDS comes in.
Now, I would also argue that it's possible that that's what ushered in all the woke stuff. It's what got me canceled.
So if you were to go back, trace the causes back to their origin, you would find out that Obama and Clinton and Brennan, etc.—and their hoaxes—ruined my life.
Now, I didn't realize that until today. Because my natural personality is not to complain about stuff. My natural personality is to say, “Oh, that happened. I guess I have to do this now.”
So I don't spend a ton of time whining about bad things that happen to me. I just sort of, you know, get moving to fix it and make the best of every situation.
But if you were to look at it objectively—those motherf--kers ruined my social life, and then my professional life. And it was entirely based on two hoaxes. So do I want them in jail? Yes. Yes, I want Obama in jail for ruining my life with what looks like criminal acts to me.
And, you know, I don't know if the “fine people” hoax was a criminal act, but it was definitely a conspiracy. They were all in on it. And they all knew the truth. And the news backed them up, so the news was, you know, part of the bad guys. If you said there's a way to make some of the news hosts get handcuffed and taken to jail, because they knew that they were supporting a lie—I'd be in favor of that.
I don't think there's any law that would support that. But if there were? Yeah, I think that some of the people who ruined my life—and maybe a lot of your lives—should go to jail. Absolutely.
I just don't think it's gonna happen. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2025/07/24/scott_adams_obamas_russia_hoax_and_fine_people_lie_ruined_my_life_and_divided_america.html
