Fox contributor Angela McGlowan hypothesized Tuesday morning on “Fox & Friends” that First Lady Michelle Obama got into Princeton University and the international law firm Sidley Austin because of “affirmative action.”
In a “debate,” with former Hillary Clinton adviser Jehmu Greene, McGlowan told co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck that the first lady’s recent commencement speech at Tuskegee University was “racially charged.”
Obama on Saturday told the Alabama students that they should expect to face “daily slights” and racial prejudice outside of college, and shared her own experiences before and after her time in the White House.
“I think that so many people are critical of her because her husband has used race to divide this country,” McGlowan, who is black, said.
“By the way, why didn’t the first lady share that the reason she got into Princeton was probably because of affirmative action?” she added.
McGlowan didn’t stop there.
“The reason she became an associate at a law firm was probably because of diversity, that they needed a woman,” she said. “I’m not saying she wasn’t qualified. But they needed a woman, and a woman of color.
“That’s a twofer,” she said.
Hasselbeck then turned to a clip from Rush Limbaugh. No one returned to address the “affirmative action” remark.

And George W. Bush got into Yale as a Legacy and got away with getting poorer than average grades.
Sorry, someone sounds slightly bitter overall.
And John McCain was at the bottom of his class, being helped by his father into positions he did not earn.
In right-wing world, all successful Blah people achieved success through affirmative action.
My FLOTUS is a beautiful woman and a strong positive role model. All I have to say to this person comes from grade school, ‘It takes one to know one.’ Affirmative action, my ass.
The FOX tokens have the agenda down pat.
