Striking directly at Donald Trump’s misogyny, Hillary Clinton debuted a new line in her stump speech Wednesday in a joint appearance with Michelle Obama.
“I wish I didn’t have to say this,” Clinton said in a speech at an early voting rally in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. “But indeed, dignity and respect for women and girls is also on the ballot in this election.”
She went on to thank Michelle Obama for her speech decrying Donald Trump’s predatory comments about women.
“Maybe it’s especially meaningful to me because I do know something about being first lady of the United States,” Clinton said. “And let’s be real, as our first African-American first lady, she’s faced pressures I never did.”
She said that the Michelle Obama has filled that role with “pure grace.”
“By any standards,” Clinton said, “she has been an outstanding first lady.”
And now Repugs are going to block her SC nominees throughout her term and conduct nonstop “investigations” of her because she dare be president while w/o penis. They are going full Obama gridlock on steroids. Must deliver landslides in House and Senate too in order to bring sanity back to governing and send the dangerous-to-our-Democracy guys packing.
Otherwise the majority who don’t pay attention will be vaguely aware there’s gridlock and throw all the bums out when only half the bums are causing the gridlock.
But enough of that. Yes, the current First Lady is a model of grace and every other desirable quality. There’s a lot wrong with this country but putting the Obama family in the White House twice excuses a good bit of it. Thank you, Hillz, for pointing it out.
Michelle is amazing, isn’t she. So comfortable in her skin, in her role as First Lady.
I hope she and Obama greatly enjoy their lives after they leave the White House. They so deserve it.
I think they’ll be happy and do great stuff. Barack’s commitment to fight gerrymandering will be hugely helpful IMHO. Michelle isn’t as interested in public life from what I read. But she’ll do great things I’m sure. One thing: They’ll never have the privacy and safety of anonymity any more, not for the rest of their lives. I wish we could make that up to them somehow.
Yes!
