Michelle Obama Torches Trump’s ‘Ugly, Misogynistic, Racist Lies’ at DNC
Former First Lady Michelle Obama received an exuberant welcome by the Democratic National Convention crowd on Tuesday, where she not only confirmed to her fellow Democrats that “hope is making a comeback,” but unleashed sharp criticisms of Donald Trump on a number of issues, including his use of “ugly, misogynistic, racist lies as a substitute for real ideas.”
“Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn’t it?” Obama began, nearly a month after President Joe Biden threw his support behind Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him, in effect altering the landscape of the presidential race in Democrats’ favor.
“We’re feeling it in this arena, but it’s spreading all across this country we love—a familiar feeling that’s been buried too deep for far too long. You know what I’m talking about. It’s the contagious power of hope,” she declared, that final word being the mantra of her husband’s 2008 campaign.
