Michelle Obama just couldn’t help herself at her own husband’s moment of honor.
Standing before former presidents, she used the ceremony to drag out years of debunked smears against Donald Trump.
And the ugly lie she told, the one that reportedly brought Barack Obama himself to tears, is one patriots won’t soon forget.
As West Wing Daily reports:
Barack Obama was the guest of honor at the opening ceremony for his Presidential library in Chicago.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama was, of course, one of the featured speakers.
Michelle’s speech started like an attempt at unity,
“You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life,” Obama stated, “and of course you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.”
But then Michelle Obama launched into a nasty, partisan rant where she smeared Donald Trump as a racist for questioning the legitimacy of Barack’s birth certificate.
“And to do it all as a first, and the higher standard that comes with all that. The claims that a U.S senator and constitutional law expert wasn’t qualified for the job. The lies about your birthright, your faith, your patriotism. The outrage when you stated the biological fact that if you’d had a son, that he too would be Black,” Michelle Obama added.
Trump demanding that Obama prove his birth certificate is real is the origin of the left and fake news media’s lies about Trump being a racist.
Michelle then described a fictionalized version of Barack’s Presidency in which he brought peace and prosperity to America, and Obamacare worked.
“You were doing the people’s work: rescuing our economy, expanding health care, ending a war, ordering the bin Laden raid, saving an auto industry, winning a peace prize, and keeping us safe from Ebola, regulating the banks, standing up for marriage equality, listening to science, and comforting an entire nation in the face of unspeakable tragedies. And you did it all with such grace and class and cool that you made the hardest job in the world look like a walk in this beautiful park. Your mother, Toot, Gramps — you are a tribute to their love. They are up there grinning and hugging today because you never forgot who you are and where you came from,” Michelle continued.
Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Joe Biden all attended the ceremony.
Donald Trump was the only living President not invited.
Trump previously mocked Obama’s Presidential Library as an architectural blight.
But it wouldn’t be a gathering of the American political elite if they didn’t turn it into an anti-Trump rally where speakers recited their well-worn attacks that Donald Trump is a racist.
