WorldNetDaily remains so in the grip of Obama Derangement Syndrome after all these years that it’s still promoting lame attacks on the former president by his disgruntled half-brother. Last year, it served as Malik’s willing stenographer, and it did so again in an April 16 article:
There was a second Obama presidential endorsement this week.
On Monday, former Democratic President Barack Obama endorsed Joe Biden, the last Democrat standing after a brutal primary season in which some two dozen other hopefuls stepped aside.
Now, his half-brother, the African-born Malik Obama, has endorsed Republican Donald Trump, just as he did in the 2016 race.
“Today I Endorse and Will be Voting for President Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) in November 2020. #MAGA,” he wrote on Twitter[.]
As expected, WND failed to mention Malik’s credibility problems — which it should know because it uncharacteristically busted him. In 2017, WND ruled that a purported birth certificate Malik tweeted out showing that Barack Obama was born in Kenya “is not a valid document” (even though it spent two months claiming it was, in fact, valid when it first surfaced in 2009).
Malik Obama also endorsed Trump in 2016, largely out of spite; he’s been trying to ride the coattails of his half-brother’s fame for years, and Barack has generally not been having it.
As one website in Malik’s native Kenya put it: “While Africans have the Ubuntu spirit of rising together, that does not mean sitting pretty and waiting for handouts from a successful relative. It also does not allow you to hate and besmirch the character of your successful relatives when they do not send as much resources as you would wish.”
Don’t expect WND to bring that up.
