It’s no secret that Fox News isn’t a fan of Barack Obama. Even Obama admitted, “If I watch Fox News, I wouldn’t vote for me.” When he was in office, the news channel would take any opportunity to paint him as the villain. The hosts read into his every move — even claiming his choice of burger topping proved he was an elitist.

However, their insane accusations against Obama didn’t end with his presidency. Now that Donald Trump has taken office, Fox News still can’t stop ranting about Obama for the strangest reasons. You’ll be left scratching your head at these 15 moments Fox News has attacked Obama over the years.

We were living in simpler times when the biggest presidential scandal was Obama’s tan suit. Whether or not you think his look was a fashion faux pas, many on Fox News criticized that it was “not presidential.”

In fact, they even claimed the tan suit “confirms he’s a Marxist.” Their reasoning? “A serious businessman wears dark blue or black to important meetings. I think it’s a sign to enemies that he’s a wimp.”

In August 2017, NowThis tweeted a video on the three-year anniversary of the forbidden suit, which compiles the many moments Fox News anchors lost their minds over the insane controversy.
