First Lady Michelle Obama Denounces Trump Comments on Women

HeadlineOct 14, 2016

On Thursday, first lady Michelle Obama issued a scathing criticism of Donald Trump and the recently surfaced 2005 video that shows Trump boasting about sexually assaulting women.

Michelle Obama: “Because this was not just a lewd conversation. This wasn’t just locker room banter. This was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexually predatory behavior and actually bragging about kissing and groping women, using language so obscene that many of us were worried about our children hearing it when we turn on the TV.”

That was first lady Michelle Obama, who never once used Trump’s name during her scathing speech.
