Ryan Clark, a Super Bowl champion defensive back who is an NFL analyst for ESPN, riffed about President-elect Donald Trump after his general election win over Vice President Kamala Harris.

Clark posted a video onto his X account on Monday, recalling Trump’s first presidency. He said his initial post about the election result reminded him of how "divisive" the country had become.

"It reminded me how divisive this country had gotten." Clark said. "How divisive this election had gotten. When did the side that candidate feel like they won the Super Bowl? When did they brag about it? When did they boast about it? When did they throw it in your face? Because it was just their guy not our guy. Or, on the other side, the sadness, the depression. People truly thinking this not being a place that they could live."

Clark compared his emotions to how he felt during former President Barack Obama’s presidency. He claimed the Obama presidency had no scandals. He did not mention the Benghazi attack, Operation Fast and Furious or the IRS targeting scandal, among other major issues that occurred over the course of Obama’s two terms.

"It started when we wanted to make America great again, but wasn’t it before? I felt it was the greatest it had ever been," Clark said. "For eight years, President Obama represented us with class and with grace and with elegance and with decency. There were no scandals. There were no impeachments. There were no felony charges. There were no indictments. There were none of these things that were unbecoming of the office. And we elected someone that ran a campaign based in bigotry and based in hate. And for those four years it wasn’t great.
