Barack Obama told this year’s graduates at historically black colleges and universities that the coronavirus pandemic has "torn back the curtain” on the idea that those in charge of the country know what they’re doing.
"A lot of them aren’t even pretending to be in charge,” the former U.S. president said during the first of two virtual commencement speeches on Saturday.
Obama didn’t mention names, but his comments came after his recent blistering attack on President Donald Trump’s handling of the pandemic as "an absolute chaotic disaster” during a call with former members of his administration.
