Barack Obama was Zohran Mamdani, but a far better liar. Which is why people think of him as a moderate today, even though he was the most radical president in history.
As for his nostalgia for a better GOP, he slandered and destroyed...Mitt Romney.

Analysis Summary
Obama praised NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani as 'an extraordinary talent' in a Colbert interview, but Shapiro inverts this as Obama being 'a far better liar' than Mamdani — the opposite of what was said. Shapiro also conflates Obama's 2012 electoral defeat of Romney with 'slander and destruction,' then implies hypocrisy by noting Obama wants GOP leaders who respect rule of law. The core facts are inverted to manufacture a false narrative of hypocrisy.

“Barack Obama was Zohran Mamdani, but a far better liar”
Obama praised Mamdani as 'an extraordinary talent' in the interview. No comparison was made between them as liars.

Subjective characterization. No factual basis for 'most radical' claim relative to historical predecessors.
“Obama slandered and destroyed Mitt Romney”
Obama defeated Romney in 2012 election — standard political competition, not slander or destruction.
“Obama expresses nostalgia for a better GOP”
Obama stated he wants 'a loyal opposition' with rule of law principles, but did not nostalgically reference Romney.
