Former first lady Michelle Obama discussed her feelings after leaving the White House for the last time, saying she cried for 30 minutes after boarding Air Force One.
Former President Barack Obama waves with his wife Michelle as they board Special Air Mission 28000, a Boeing 747 which serves as Air Force One, at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, Jan. 20, 2017."We were leaving the home we had been in for eight years, the only home our kids really knew," she continued."They remembered Chicago but they had spent more time in the White House than anywhere, so we were saying goodbye to the staff and all the people who helped to raise them.
"To sit on that stage and watch the opposite of what we represented on display – there was no diversity, there was no color on that stage," Obama said."There was no reflection of the broader sense of America." "Many people took pictures of me and they're like, 'You weren't in a good mood?' No, I was not! But you had to hold it together like you do for eight years," she added.
She also took aim at claims Trump made about the size of the crowd at his inauguration, arguing that there"weren't that many people there.""You walk through the Capitol, you wave goodbye, you get on Marine One, and you take your last flight flying over the Capitol," Obama said."There weren't that many people there – we saw it, by the way!", who opened up about his concerns the day Trump took over during a 2017 interview with Prince Harry.
"Well, the first thing that went through my mind was, sitting across from Michelle, how thankful I was that she had been my partner through that whole process," the former president said, adding that he"had concerns about how the country moves forward but overall there was a serenity there more than I would have expected."Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
