You Must Watch This Speech By Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama's speech starts at approximately the 25:15 mark.
WHOA. Michelle Obama appeared at a campaign rally in New Hampshire this morning, and just destroyed Donald Trump. It was a thing of grace and beauty. Transcript:
Now here I am, out on the campaign trail in an election where we have consistently been hurting hateful language about women. Language painful for so many of us. Not just as women but as parents trying to protect our children and raise them to be caring respectful adults. Who think our nation's leader should meet basic standards of human decency.
The fact is that in this election, we have a candidate for President of the United States who, over the course of his lifetime and the course of this campaign has said things about women that are so shocking. So demeaning. I simply will not repeat anything here today.
And last week we saw this candidate actually bragging about sexually assaulting women. And I can't believe that i'm saying that. A candidate for President of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women and I have to tell you that I can't stop thinking about this.
It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn't have predicted.
So while I'd love nothing more than to pretend like this isn't happening and come out here and do my normal campaign speech, it would be dishonest and disingenuous for me to move on to the next thing like this was just a bad dream.
