Michelle Obama: The office Trump seeks 'might just be one of those Black jobs'
Eight years ago, then-First Lady Michelle Obama implored fellow Democrats to take an urbane approach to battling Donald Trump. This year, she pivoted to more direct confrontation.
CHICAGO — Eight years ago, then-first lady Michelle Obama implored fellow Democrats to take an urbane approach to battling Republicans and their presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
"When they go low," Obama told the 2016 Democratic National Convention crowd in Philadelphia, "we go high."
That was then.
On the second night of this year's Democratic convention on Tuesday, here in her native Windy City, the former first lady pivoted to a more direct confrontation with the Republican nominee that better aligns with Vice President Kamala Harris' slogan: "When we fight, we win."
"His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be Black," Obama said of Trump's treatment of her and her husband, former President Barack Obama.
