A sitting congressman has publicly declared that Barack Obama was manufactured by shadowy elites and questions why Jeffrey Epstein operated unchecked during his presidency—raising troubling questions about government transparency and accountability that the mainstream media refuses to address.
Story Highlights
- Rep. Tim Burchett alleges Obama was “created” by deep state operatives rather than rising through legitimate political channels
- Congressman connects Epstein’s operations during 2009-2017 to Obama White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler
- Burchett claims billionaire donors manufacture political candidates including progressive “Squad” members
- Allegations highlight ongoing concerns about elite power brokers controlling American politics
Burchett Challenges Obama’s Political Origins
Tennessee Representative Tim Burchett made striking allegations during a February 13, 2026 interview with political commentator Benny Johnson, claiming Barack Obama did not rise through organic political processes. Burchett stated that Obama was “created” by powerful figures who selected “this obscure guy from college who has zero records.” The congressman compared the situation to selecting someone to “fit the suit,” suggesting Obama’s presidency resulted from deliberate construction by shadowy elites rather than genuine grassroots support. This raises legitimate concerns about transparency in how political leaders emerge and whether voters truly control the selection process.
Epstein Operations During Obama Administration Questioned
Burchett connected his allegations to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities, noting the convicted sex trafficker operated during Obama’s presidency from 2009 to 2017. Johnson pointed out that Epstein was released from jail as Obama took office and that “the vast majority of Epstein’s most heinous crimes took place while Barack Obama was President.” The congressman highlighted connections between Obama’s former White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler and Epstein, questioning why such relationships existed and whether they prevented proper prosecution. Ruemmler served during Obama’s second term from 2013-2014 and recently resigned from Goldman Sachs, prompting renewed scrutiny of her background and associations.
Pattern of Manufactured Candidacies Alleged
Burchett expanded his critique beyond Obama, alleging that billionaire donors systematically manufacture political candidates across America. He cited progressive “Squad” members like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as examples, claiming wealthy elites funded “probably 30 or 40 different candidates across the country” to advance specific agendas. This pattern suggests ordinary Americans face significant disadvantages when establishment power brokers select and fund preferred candidates who serve elite interests rather than constituents. The allegation reflects growing frustration among conservatives who believe the political system has been rigged against everyday citizens who lack billionaire backing or media support for their campaigns.
Mainstream Media Silence Raises Additional Concerns
The absence of mainstream media coverage regarding these allegations demonstrates the ongoing problem of selective reporting that protects favored political figures. Major news organizations that aggressively investigated every Trump administration action remain silent when serious questions emerge about previous administrations. This double standard erodes public trust and prevents Americans from accessing information necessary for informed civic participation. Whether Burchett’s specific claims prove accurate or not, the unwillingness of establishment media to investigate or even report on a sitting congressman’s allegations about government transparency reveals a disturbing pattern of protecting certain political figures while attacking others.
Questions About Government Accountability Persist
Burchett’s allegations, while lacking independent verification in available sources, tap into legitimate concerns about government transparency and elite influence over political processes. Americans deserve answers about how candidates emerge, who funds their campaigns, and whether connections between government officials and convicted criminals like Epstein were properly investigated. The congressman’s willingness to voice these questions publicly reflects growing frustration with a political establishment that seems unaccountable to ordinary citizens. Under President Trump’s current administration, there is renewed hope that government transparency will improve and that uncomfortable questions about previous administrations will finally receive the scrutiny they deserve rather than being dismissed or ignored by partisan media outlets.
