Michelle Obama Shines In Theory Tortoise Shell Pantsuit And Bejeweled Gold Hoop Earrings In Michigan
The mom of two candidly went on: "I lay awake at night wondering what in the world is going on." She repeatedly urged the public to take action and "do something," emphasizing the unfair double standard applied to Vice President Harris, 60. “Now, don’t get me wrong, voters have every right to ask hard questions of any candidate seeking office,” Obama noted.
She went on: “But can someone tell me why we are, once again, holding Kamala to a higher standard than her opponent?” Obama said that Harris has to “prove time and time again that she belongs.”
“But for Trump, we expect nothing at all, no understanding of policy, no ability to put together a coherent argument, no honesty, no decency, no morals. Instead, too many people are willing to write off his childish, mean-spirited antics by saying, ‘Trump is just being Trump.’ Rather than question his horrible behavior, some folks think he’s funny,” Obama continued.
Obama also expressed her disappointment over "some of us choosing" to "ignore Donald Trump’s gross incompetence, while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn." She also condemned being "indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse." She said that all of this happens "while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn’t even have the courage to do, y’all."
The Becoming author meticulously outlined the countless dangers a woman faces during childbirth and then highlighted how Harris is the single candidate dedicated to safeguarding reproductive rights. 'There is the tragic but very real possibility that in the worst-case scenario, you just might be the one holding flowers at the funeral," she stressed. Obama addressed the men in the crowd, emphasizing how restrictive laws governing women's bodies have far-reaching effects.
“You might be the one left to raise your children alone,” Obama said. "Are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety?" she asked.
Obama also spoke to women who "live in a household of men that don’t listen to you or value your opinion." She advised: "just remember that your vote is a private matter." Obama added: "Regardless of the political views of your partner, you get to choose, you get to use your judgment and cast your vote for yourself and the women in your life. Remember women, standing up for what is best for us can make the difference in this election."
