Barack Obama says Michelle told Malia and Sasha to stay away from politics

It is a long-standing fever dream of both the Republican and Democratic Parties Michelle Obama will replace Joe Biden as the Democratic candidate for president. Although completely unreasonable, this view is so persistent that the former first lady’s office had to officially pour cold water on it in March. speak“As former first lady Michelle Obama has expressed repeatedly over the years, she will not run for president.” And apparently, she’s long made it clear at home that getting into politics is a bad idea.

Speaking at the fundraiser Joe Biden on Saturday, Barack Obama was asked if his daughters would ever enter the world of politics. answered“That’s a question I don’t need to answer because Michelle dug them so early on that you’d go crazy if you got into politics. It will never happen.”

Of course, that wasn’t the only thing the former president had to say to the crowd gathered in Los Angeles. He noted the insanity of the fact that Donald Trump, a convicted criminal, has a real chance of taking back the White House in November. “Look, part of what’s happened over the last few years is we’ve normalized behavior that used to be kind of thing,” Obama said. speak. “The other sight of the nominee of one of the two major parties is sitting in court and being convicted by a jury of peers on 34 counts. You have his foundation, which is not allowed to operate because it engages in monkey business and is not truly charitable. You got this organization prosecuted for not paying taxes.… There was a time when we had certain core values ​​that we agreed on. We believe in basic honesty. We believe in paying your taxes. We believe in making sure we don’t mock [prisoners of war]that we don’t try to politicize our military, that we respect the vote.”

Obama’s comments about Trump come just days before Team Biden launches a $50 million ad campaign focus on about Trump’s criminal conviction and the fact that he could later be convicted of other crimes for which he has been charged, including in Georgia, where he was indicted last year for attempted tried to overturn the state’s election results. As Axios notes, advertisement “uses footage of Trump in court — and his mug shot from his criminal case in Georgia… to help shape the race ahead of the Biden-Trump debate on June 27.” As black-and-white images of Trump are shown on the screen, a narrator tells viewers: “In the courtroom, we see the real Donald Trump. He has been convicted of 34 felonies and accused of sexual assault…Meanwhile, Joe Biden is still working.”

In a statement, Biden campaign communications director Michael Tyler told Axios, “Trump approached the first debate as a convicted felon who continues to demonstrate that he will do anything and harm anyone if it means is more power and revenge for Donald Trump.” Speaking of revenge, at Saturday’s fundraiser, Biden speak group, “What he did on January 6th, and now he’s literally saying if he doesn’t win there will be a bloodbath. It’s outrageous—what he’s talking about is outrageous.” He then added: “There is a suggestion that he is actually being threatened with punishment. This is the United States of America. Did you ever think you would ever hear something like this?”

Man full of praise as Vladimir Putin unsurprisingly claims that Ukraine’s president is taking advantage of America
