Vice President Vance on Obama's Cheesecake Factory comment: "Obama, without even trying to be, just can't help himself for being super elitist. Remember, this is the guy who said people who wanted good jobs were 'clinging to their guns and their religion' as if God and the Second Amendment were something to be ashamed of."

The video says (transcribed automatically):
The former president, Barack Hussein Obama, as we call him respectfully he's been saying that the White House looks like Saddam Hussein opened up a cheesecake factory How did you take that? well, I mean, I I guess I didn't fully get it I kind of like the cheesecake factory I don't know what the what how do we feel about the cheesecake factory? We like the cheesecake factory pretty good So I, I I think it's like a good example of how Obama without even trying to be just can't help himself with being super elitist Remember this is the guy who said that people who wanted good jobs were clinging to their guns and their religion as if God and the Second Amendment were something to be ashamed of And I just think that he's he's one of these guys he gets out there I'm sure that the thought popped into his head he thought it was brilliant or some speech writer gave it to him And in reality it just drove home how divorced the Democrats are from actual America. Yeah now Barry's backpedaling. He's like oh, I love the Cheesecake Factory I go there all the time Wait, did he really? Yeah he says, he says it's my jam See, that's exactly the point though, is because he realized oh a lot of the people we want to vote for us actually like the Cheesecake Factory Okay I know we're not supposed to talk about the Cheesecake Factory here and I promise I'm not a paid sponsor for the Cheesecake Factory but it's like the weirdest restaurant to hate on Yeah. It, it, I mean, you go to the Cheesecake Factory first of all, the menu is like 75 pages long so there's something for everybody That's right. So I just I don't understand, like there are restaurants I can imagine beating up on not the Cheesecake Factory. You know we should have done the town hall at the Cheesecake Factory We'll do that next time
