Trump supporters booed former President Barack Obama as he arrived at the Capitol Rotunda to attend President Donald Trump’s Inauguration ceremony in Washington, DC.

Trump supporters booed Obama and Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence as they both arrived separately. Mr. Obama smiled and held his head high as he walked in. But Pence hung his head as he entered the Rotunda.

Obama’s supporters expressed anger and outrage online.

One person wrote: “The disrespect they showed for the TWO TERM PRESIDENT Obama is flat out disgusting. You don’t have to like him, but to boo him just shows the level of division and lack of respect for our country. The US just hit a new moral low.”

Another person wrote: “Can’t believe they boo’d at Obama when he was walking in. Americans are lost and it shows. Trump will deal with you people anyways.”

A third person said, “Boo’ing Barrack [sic] Obama is disgusting. Ghetto and classless and just sets the tone what to expect from “those” people the next 4 years.”

It isn’t clear why the Trump supporters booed Obama. But Pence fell out with Trump over the controversy following the 2020 elections. Trump refused to concede the election to former President Joe Biden and he didn’t attend Biden’s swearing-in ceremony or inauguration events in 2021.

Biden and his wife, Jill, were in attendance at Trump’s Inauguration ceremony.

Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama did not attend, as she is under the weather according to reports.

On Friday, Mr. Obama shared a photo of himself with his wife at an unknown location on her birthday, Jan. 17.

He captioned the image: “Happy birthday to the love of my life, @MichelleObama. You fill every room with warmth, wisdom, humor, and grace – and you look good doing it. I’m so lucky to be able to take on life’s adventures with you. Love you!”

The Inauguration is traditionally held outside, but Trump moved the ceremonies indoors due to the cold weather and for safety reasons.

Trump’s wife, Melania, and his family watched as Trump was sworn in. The ceremony was attended by lawmakers from both chambers of Congress. But former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others stayed home.
