MICHELLE OBAMA GOES LOW - DNC First Night

 MICHELLE OBAMA GOES LOW ON THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE VIRTUAL DNC:

Michelle Obama, famous for her line about going high when your opponents go low, went way low and closed out with the best speech of the night. The former First Lady indicted her husband’s successor for lacking fitness of character, while tapping into the racial debate that has characterized this summer: ‘And here at home, as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and a never-ending list of innocent people of color continue to be murdered, stating the simple fact that a Black life matters is still met with derision from the nation’s highest office.’

She didn’t, for some reason, mention Tamir Rice, Michael Brown or Eric Garner, all of whom died during her husband’s administration. And when Michelle mentioned how ‘children are torn from their families and thrown into cages’, she failed to note  that those cages were built and used during her husband’s terms.

Flashback to the tweet of the (previous) decade:
