“Disappointed” Michelle Obama attacked Donald Trump during her first campaign appearance for Kamala Harris, worrying that America would “blow this opportunity to finally turn the page on ugliness” by re-electing the former president.
The former first lady did not hesitate Harris criticized the 45th president and his supporters alike during a passionate speech at a rally in Kalamazoo, Michigan — her first stump for the vice president since the Democratic National Convention in August.
Obama claimed that Trump supporters and undecided voters hold Harris to a high and unfair double standard, while leaving the former commander with little criticism.
“I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m a little disappointed that some of us are looking to do this Ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence “Asking Kamala to surprise us at every turn,” Obama, 60, told the crowd.
“I hope that if I am a little angry that we will understand his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator who was found liable to sexual abuse – You will forgive me for being indifferent to all this while we exclude countless answers from interviews which they do not even have the courage to give.
Obama pointed to the growing list of former Trump aides who have jumped off the MAGA ship in recent years — including the former chairman of his Joint Chiefs of Staff — as evidence of the former president’s incompetence. Who branded the politician a “fascist”.
The former first lady also supported those who decided to stay away from the 2024 presidential election, claiming that their abstention is equivalent to voting for Trump.
“I hope you’ll forgive me if I’m worried that we’ll miss this opportunity to turn the page on ugliness forever. Because believe me, if Donald Trump becomes president again at some point, So that ugliness will affect all of our lives,” Obama said.
“It won’t matter how you look, how you’re worshiped, who you love, or how you vote – if you don’t make six or eight or 12 figures, if you’re not famous, if You criticize him or disagree with him in any way, if he doesn’t consider you his equal or relevant to his ambitions, he won’t think about you when he gets to the Oval Office, and. This will have real consequences for all of us.
Harris continued to criticize Trump as Obama welcomed her to the rally stage.
The veep took several digs while presenting his resume as a court prosecutor, district attorney and Attorney General of California.
“In those roles, I took on all types of criminals: loan sharks, fraudsters and repeat offenders. I took him on and I won,” the Democratic presidential candidate said.
“Okay, Michigan. In 10 days, it’s Donald Trump’s turn.
