Editors at the viral news and entertainment website BuzzFeed openly grieved as President Obama gave his farewell address in Chicago Tuesday night.
On social media, several of the websites staffers, many of whom had editor titles, said they were crying as Obama delivered an impassioned speech on empathy in a divided country and a defense of all he said his administration had accomplished in eight years.
“Aaaaand tears,” said editor Elamin Abdelmahmoud on Twitter.
Lara Parker, an editor based in Los Angeles, said, “Will I ever stop crying?”
Another editor, Tanya Chen, said, “I’m crine,” a slang way of saying “crying.” In his speech, Obama called on Americans to seek more common ground with others who disagree with them and he thanked his supporters for standing by him during his two terms. “Every day I have learned from you,” the outgoing president said. “You made me a better president. You made me a better man.” BuzzFeed also tweeted a picture of Obama crying and said, “Same.”

BuzzFeed published a paper that accuses his campaign of working with Russian spies to defeat Clinton.

“Every day I have learned from you,” the outgoing president told Americans from crowded auditorium in the Windy City. “You made me a better president. You made me a better man.”
Standing before his wife Michelle and two teenage daughters, Obama urged Americans to “pay attention and listen” to each other.
“For white Americans, this means acknowledging that the effects of slavery and Jim Crow didn’t suddenly vanish in the 1960s,” he said, noting that race “remains a potent and often divisive force
