Duncan wrote on Twitter Saturday, “When the Trump fiasco is finally over, we will have to grapple with this hard question: Why was the election of a black President with an impeccable character so threatening to America that we felt compelled to elect a white man we knew was without a moral compass?”

Arne’s attack on American voters was retweeted by fellow Obama cabinet official Susan Rice, who served as Obama’s National Security Advisor and U.N. Ambassador.

Democrats refuse to accept that Barack Obama was not accepted as the Messiah by voters who rejected his far-left party and policies election after election, with Democrats losing the House, Senate and eventually the presidency–in addition to losing numerous state governorships and statehouses–during Obama’s two terms in office (Details at this link).

Obama won the presidency in 2008 and 2012 because the GOP put up two candidates–McCain and Romney–who came off as preferring to lose to Obama in order to be respected by the Establishment. Even so, Obama lost over 3 1/2 million votes in his 2012 reelection (65,915,795) victory compared to 2008 (69,498,516). Presidents who win a second term normally substantially increase their support from voters.

Fellow Chicagoan Duncan was brought to D.C. by Obama at the start of his administration in January 2009, serving as Education secretary for nearly seven years before leaving in December 2015. Duncan was head of the Chicago public schools before that.

Duncan apologized in 2013 for a racist critique of “white suburban moms”, excerpt via the AP:
