You'd think that'd be enough, more than most people do, you'd think he'd retreat to Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard, but he's back to let you know that if you have any problem with your kid's teachers telling you that some races are better than others, you, my friend, are the racist," Carlson said in his Tuesday night show.</p><p>In <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/06/08/opinions/barack-obama-anderson-cooper-interview-hope-and-change-bailey/index.html">an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper that aired Monday,</a> Obama called out right-wing media outlets for stoking racial resentment.</p><p>"There are certain right-wing media venues, for example, that monetize and capitalize on stoking the fear and resentment of a white population that is witnessing a changing America and see demographic changes, and do everything they can to give people a sense that their way of life is threatened," Obama said.</p><p>"Low and behold, the single most important issue to them apparently is critical race theory. Who knew that was the threat to our Republic," Obama added, chuckling.</p><p>Carlson responded: "That guy is a hater. For real."</p><p></p><div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en" data-cards="" data-conversation=""><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tucker Carlson on Obama: "That guy is a hater!
