 After he "used George Floyd’s death at a funeral to attack the police," he said. But Carlson may have taken things way too far after going into detail about his thoughts on the former president...

During the service, Obama said: “Bull Connor may be gone. But today we witness with our own eyes police officers kneeling on the necks of black Americans."

 “George Wallace may be gone. But we can witness our federal government sending agents to use tear gas and batons against peaceful demonstrators," he added.

Connor was the commissioner of public safety in the 1960s, famously known for using fire hoses and dogs to attack civil rights demonstrators.

He’s since become known as one of the most racist leaders.

Obama pushed Congress to pass a new Voting Rights Act during the eulogy, one that Lewis had been striving for himself.

In 2013, the Supreme Court got rid of the 1965 law, allowing 9 states to change their voting laws without federal approval.

Obama also described the filibuster as disenfranchising Black Americans...

 “Once we pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, we should keep marching," Obama said. “And if all this takes eliminating the filibuster in order to secure the God-given rights of every American, then that’s what we should do."

Carlson blasted Obama for comparing police officers to Connor...

“Bull Connor? That country is falling apart, riven by racial strife and tribalism, and one of the most respected people in the whole country decides to pour gasoline on that and compare the police to Bull Connor," Carlson said. “As if America or Minneapolis is like Birmingham, Alabama in 1963? It’s insane. It’s reckless. “Of course, Obama doesn’t care. It’s only about November and the coming election," Carlson added.

Carlson later accused Obama of exploiting the funeral for “stupid partisan talking points about Senate procedure."

 “Imagine if some greasy politician showed up at your loved one’s funeral and started throwing around stupid partisan talking points about Senate procedure. Can you imagine that?" Carlson said. So, there you have it. What do you think about his remarks? Keep scrolling for more on the former POTUS...
