U.S. President Barrack Obama appeared at a fundraiser for Linda McMahon’s opponent Richard Blumenthal on Thursday, speaking out against the former WWE CEO and saying she’s not fit for the United States Senate and calling the decision to vote for Blumenthal a “no brainer.”
Video footage of Obama’s rant against Linda McMahon has been posted online and is getting a lot of attention today on various cable news networks. Playing up on McMahon’s WWE past, a few pundits have dubbed this speech “Obama vs. McMahon.”
“This is the kind of leader you want representing you, somebody you know,” Obama said of Blumenthal. “Somebody who doesn’t just show up and try to get a victory by writing a big check and flooding the airwaves with negative ads.”
“I understand [Linda McMahon] has promised a ‘smackdown,'” Obama continued. “That is what she said. And, look, there’s no doubt, I can see how somebody who’s been in professional wrestling would think that they’re right at home in the United States Senate — if they were watching some of the behavior that’s been going on.”
