Commentator Jamie Dech predicted that President Barack Obama might try to leverage his “political and media infrastructure” to usurp the presidential election by either inserting himself as a candidate or using martial law to automatically extend his presidency by four more years.
“I believe, depending on Republican race results and possible agitation in the aftermath, it’s possible Obama could try for a ‘third term,’” he wrote Tuesday for Eagle Rising. “I don’t think he wants to give up the White House next January, if he can help it.”
In defending this ominous theory, Dech first pointed to what Obama said last July, when he claimed that voters would re-elect him if given the opportunity.
“I think if I ran, I could win,” he said while delivering a speech in Ethiopia. “But I can’t.”
Dech also highlighted the increasing number of riots and protests being carried out by members of the Black Lives Matters movement and other groups tied to billionaire liberal George Soros — and wondered whether these events could be used to institute martial law.
