Michelle Obama Bashes Trump, Quickly Gets Hit With A Serious Dose Of Reality During a commencement speech at the City College of New York this week, Michelle Obama attempted to bash Donald Trump. Instead, she ended up reminding American what liberal activists have been doing for years. According to the U.K. Guardian, the first lady told the audience, Here in America, we dont let our differences tear us apart. Here in America we dont give in to our fears, we dont build walls to keep people out. She did not mention Trump directly, but she went on to criticize those who tell us to be afraid of those who are different, to be suspicious of those with whom we disagree. They act as if name-calling is an acceptable substitute for thoughtful debate, as though anger and intolerance should be our default rather than optimism and openness that have always been the engine of our progress. There is one major problem with this statement: liberals do this all of the time. And in fact, she could have been describing the Trump protesters weve seen in the past few months, especially those in San Jose. Clearly, she doesnt see the hypocrisy. The Obamas never do. But we can see it, clear as day. Hopefully, the students in the crowd could to.
