Michelle Obama: Who is going to tell him the job he is currently seeking might just be one of those black jobs?
Michelle Obama directly criticized Donald Trump in the DNC Speech, praised Kamala Harris’s presidential candidacy, and compared it to her husband Barack Obama’s in 2008.
She remarked, “America, hope is making a comeback,” referencing his well-known hope campaign from 2008.
“Something wonderfully magical is in the air, isn’t it? She exclaimed, to thunderous cheers on the second evening of the conference.
Michelle Obama said, “We’re feeling it here in this arena, but it’s spreading all across this country we love. A familiar feeling that’s been buried too deep for too long. You know what I’m talking about? It’s the contagious power of hope!”
She delivered her memorable line after eight years, “When they go low, we go high.” In her 2020 speech, she said then-President Trump “is clearly in over his head” and “cannot meet this moment.”
Obama mentioned that she attended a memorial service for her mother Marian Robinson in May when she was last in Chicago. Months later, she added, “I still feel her loss so profoundly — I wasn’t even sure I’d be steady enough to stand before you tonight.” Her mother, she continued, “set my moral compass high and showed me the power of my voice.”
Obama remarked, “Kamala Harris and I built our lives on those same foundational values.”
She praised Harris “as more than ready for this moment,” calling her “one of the most qualified people ever to seek the office of the presidency.”
“For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. His limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working and highly educated, successful people who happen to be Black.”
