RAW STORY
The Benny Show/screengrab
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) asserted that former President Barack Obama was "created" and not an "organic" person.
During an interview with Burchett on Friday, MAGA influencer Benny Johnson suggested that Obama was implicated in covering up the crimes of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"Like, Obama's the one, Obama's the one who's, like, sort of skated on this," Johnson argued. "And nobody's really brought up his name. But wait a second, like, the vast majority of Epstein's most heinous crimes took place while Barack Obama was president. Epstein got out of jail right as Barack Obama was being put into office."
"Obama is, like, signing executive orders," he continued. "You can, like, tie all this back to the Rothschild Bank. Like, he's, like, doing all this stuff. And he's, like, somehow, like, Obama's getting zero pushback on this. Why is nobody asking Obama, like, why didn't you do something about Jeffrey Epstein?"
"Because President Obama was created," Burchett alleged. "He was not, he's not organic. I mean, you pick this obscure guy from college who has zero records you have college professors that don't remember him ever being there and he runs and he's and all of a sudden people drop out of races and he's unopposed and he goes from a state senator to a to a U.S. senator to an unknown to be in the United States because he was created."
"They found somebody that fit their mold," he added. "But that's the way Obama was. You know, he fit the suit, and he was, he's a good-looking and articulate guy, and, you know, had a couple of kids and came up through the corrupt Chicago machine."
"And we got to start realizing this. And the conservatives just aren't good at creating anybody."

A simmering President Donald Trump privately fumed over the weekend at Mar-a-Lago at Republicans who dared to criticize his social media post sharing a racist video about the Obamas, according to a new report Friday.
After refusing to apologize, Trump spent days stewing and plotting payback against GOP allies who spoke out, CNN's Alayna Treene reported.
The targets of his ire: Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the sole Black Republican senator, and Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL).
“The president felt he could’ve handled that matter privately,” a senior Trump administration official told CNN about Scott. “He was like, ‘We work together all the time. He didn’t need to comment publicly.’”
Trump reportedly questioned the lawmakers' loyalty for publicly condemning the racist video and unleashed expletives while declaring Britt dead to him.
The video depicting the Obamas as apes stayed online for nearly 12 hours before removal — and only after GOP backlash forced the president's hand. Trump refused to accept responsibility, blaming an unnamed staffer while insisting "I didn't make a mistake."
The president and many of his closest aides privately believe Scott’s response led to the story gaining nationwide attention, according to the report.
Far-right activist Laura Loomer fueled his rage by presenting printouts of the senators' critical statements. She then posted that she was "compiling a list" of Republicans who "attacked" Trump with "false accusations of racism."
Trump rewarded loyalist Sens. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) with golf invitations and Super Bowl party access, while freezing out Scott and Britt during the GOP's Palm Beach winter retreat.
Scott's office stayed silent on the report, while Britt's blasted the reporting as "classic fake news," touting her voting record alignment with Trump.
