Wayback machine: 8 years ago today, the biggest scandal conservatives griped about was Obama's tan suit

After they accused him of being a foreign-born Mau Mau anti-colonialist but before the most recent accusation of being (arguably) the most corrupt president in US history, Barack Obama’s Daily Biggest Scandal, according to conservatives, was his fashion choice. Eight years ago tonight, Tan Suit-gate blew up as President Barack Obama defiled the White House by wearing a (GASP!) tan suit to the podium for a press briefing.

It seems quaint now that a former president is actually facing felony charges, but it’s stabilizing to see the constructed scandals the GOP raises are just as facetious today as they were eight years ago.
