Criticisms of Former Presidents
- β οΈ A plaque referring to Joe Biden calls him the worst president in American history and falsely claims he won the most corrupt election.
- π‘ Biden is represented by an image of an auto pen instead of an official portrait.
- π¬ Another plaque describes Barack Hussein Obama as one of the most divisive political figures in American history.
- βοΈ Even former President George W. Bush is criticized for starting the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, which the plaque states should not have happened.
Historical Context and White House Response
