Michelle Obama has mostly stayed out of the political fray during President Trump's tenure in the White House. But on Monday night, she didn't mince words: 'Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country.'
Michelle Obama didn't mince words Monday night. After mostly staying out of the political fray during President Trump's tenure in the White House, she used her prime time Democratic National Convention slot to deliver a blistering indictment on his policies and ability to lead.
Obama acknowledged that some weren't sure the party should stick with that approach. But she defended staying true to it — saying"going high is the only thing that works, because when we go low, when we use those same tactics of degrading and dehumanizing others, we just become part of the ugly noise that's drowning out everything else. We degrade ourselves. We degrade the very causes for which we fight.
Obama warned against complacency, and noted that people deciding their votes didn't matter led to Trump's victory in 2016. She also made it clear people who may not be completely sold on Biden needed to get behind the party's nominee. The former first lady did discuss her personal experience getting to know Joe Biden during her husband's presidency, outlining his own struggles and ability to empathize with others.
