Editor’s Note: This article has been updated to note that Creamer voluntarily left his role, and was not fired.

A top DNC official who resigned after video surfaced of his role in masterminding staged and paid violence at Trump rallies has been to the White House 342 times over the past several years, with at least 42 of those visits being directly with President Obama.

Official records reveal Bob Creamer, the man exposed as being behind a tactic called “bird-dogging” in which homeless people, the elderly, and mentally ill individuals are paid to start violence at Trump rallies, has been to the White House many times since 2009.

A good portion of those meetings involved face-to-face time with President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

The analysis was conducted by Nickarama at Weasel Zippers:

Between 11/21/2009 and 6/24/2016, Robert Creamer appears to have visited the White House 342 times, 340 times as ‘Robert Creamer’ and twice as ‘Bob Creamer’.

47 of those visits were direct visits with Obama. Several of those visits included Michelle Obama.

In the video where Democratic operatives talk about how to conduct mass voter fraud, Scott Foval describes Creamer in the videos as the ‘black hat’ guy who has taught him so much. Creamer also shows up on another video which covers inciting violence at Trump rallies. Creamer states on video that Clinton is aware of his work, and that his firm, Democracy Partners, has a daily telephone call with the Clinton campaign to coordinate.

Now it raises questions about whether or not Obama was also ‘aware of his work.’

This past summer, the President ripped violent protesters at Trump rallies.

“That’s not what you do,” he said. “There’s no room for violence. There’s no place for shouting.”

Yet it was Democrats all along who fomented this violence.

Obama would also add, “I believe if you’ve got the better argument, then you don’t need to do that (commit violence).”

It’s fairly obvious that the left no longer believes they have the better argument.

More fun facts – This same Democrat operative, Bob Creamer, is a convicted felon, having defrauded nine financial institutions out of at least $2.3 million while running his failing non-profit organization.

He also worked with the DNC, consulting Barack Obama on his two presidential campaigns.

If Trump has to continually disavow everything and everyone he is associated with, shouldn’t President Obama do the same?
