'Did I Do That'

Political commentator and co-host of iHeart’s ‘Native Land’ podcast, Angela Rye recently came under fire for her criticism of former President Barack Obama. Rye and her co-hosts, Andrew Gillum and Bakari Sellers, were reacting to a clip Obama shared from his podcast in which he reflects on whether he did enough—or risked enough—during his presidency. Rye argued that he had not done or risked enough and continues to fall short today. She criticized Obama for focusing more on his presidential library than on protecting access to the ballot box. Her comments drew backlash from Obama supporters, many of whom argued that it was not the right time for such criticism. Why was Angela Rye so critical of Obama, and where did her frustration with the former president stem from?
