In a direct attack on Trump, Michelle referenced his past controversial comments about illegal immigrants taking “black jobs.” “Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s looking for right now could be one of those black jobs?” Michelle said, referring to Trump’s comments. The comment highlighted the former president’s history of racially charged rhetoric and his claims that he was questioning President Barack Obama’s fitness for office.
“For years, Donald Trump has done everything in his power to make people afraid of us,” Michelle continued. “His narrow, parochial view of the world has led him to feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happen to be black.”
Obama’s criticism did not end there. She also addressed Trump’s insinuations about Kamala Harris and others. Democrats They are not “real Americans” and claim: “No one has a monopoly on what it means to be American, no one.”
In her speech, the former first lady not only attacked Trump; she also called on all Americans to take action, regardless of their political affiliation. “Look, I don’t care what your political affiliation is, whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, independent, or neither. Now is the time to stand up for what we know in our hearts is right,” Michelle said. “To stand up, not just for our basic freedoms, but for decency and humanity, for basic respect and dignity and empathy for the values that are the foundation of this democracy.”
Michelle turned her attention to Kamala Harris, praising the vice president as one of the most qualified candidates to ever run for president. “Kamala Harris is more than ready for this moment. She is one of the most qualified candidates to ever run for president,” Michelle said, highlighting Harris’ accomplishments and dignified representation, which she attributed to a legacy of strong women.
Michelle opened her speech with a message of hope, reflecting on a nation filled with uncertainty and subtly criticizing Trump’s time in office. “America, hope is returning,” she declared, drawing a standing ovation from the audience.
