Michelle Obama held no punches at the Democratic National Convention Monday evening.
Referring to family separations at the border, Michelle said of American citizens:
“They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages.”
What she conveniently failed to mention is that those cages were built by her husband and with the same purpose that the Trump Administration used them.
The Associated Press, which is largely held to be the flagship example of objective journalism, called out Michelle saying that her point was “distorted”
AP excerpt:
“Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.
The AP continued to mention Michelle’s amnesia when it came to who created the cages:
But what she did not say is that the very same “cages” were built and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.
The same report alluded to another AP story from 2018 when images of children in “cages” at the border created a hailstorm of rhetorical fury towards the Trump administration. Problem was, as exposed by the AP report, the images were from 2014…during the Obama administration:
VIDEO OF THE DAY
Idiots Twerk On Ambulance After Shooting In Oakland, CAThe former First Lady has been known to make statements that come back to bite her. During the 2016 presidential election, Michelle threw shade at Hillary with reference to her and Bill’s shaky marriage:
“One of the things, the important aspects of this race, is role modeling what good families should look like. And my view, if you can’t run your own house, you certainly can’t run the White House. Can’t do it.”
That was when kindness didn’t matter – during an election. But all other times kindness is important. It makes sense if you try really hard.
Lying as usual. That is all the Democrats are good at….I think Ms Obama should keep her mouth shut, nobody cares what she thinks
Just a very nasty hateful look persin
People have been ruled by the dems for how long so has your life gotten better ver your life or has your life gotten better under trump so what’s the problem vote true and have a good life or vote dems and keep having a life like Portland
LYING 4SS B!TCH, just like her WORTHLESS POS husband.
Michell stay out of the public eye. Do not want to see you or listen to you.
I like the part where the comments are pretending like her lying has been endemic and, presumably, Trump has been the opposite.
Wow .. really!! What difference would it make; I mean look at our current state of affairs you morons!!!!! Diversion is his only way of keeping ignorant, uneducated people to vote for him.
Youre a moron if you think he’s the liar. Open your freakin eyes to what the democrats are doing. They’re not about helping Americans. If it was the would have gotten the bill passed for the new stimulus package before going on break for a month. It’s all about the damn illegals.
YEAP
The people voting for him are college educated according to stats. It’s the people with hs or less education that are boring dem
I’ve got a masters in I/O psychology and I would give all of that education away to get him the fuck out of office.
You are part of the problem! TRUMP2020
Get that degree from Disneyland did ya.
HAHAHA
Actually using separation of family is a way to try to keep minorities blind to what is actually happening on the left, and leave them angry towards the right! If you can’t win by your actions, win by your hatred! And for those who are ignorant… The first deportation of illegal migration is a misdemeanor, while the second offense is a felony! Felons can not legally migrate to the United States of America! So some individuals buy alias identities from coyotes! If their children are not documented to that identity, just as schools can not release a child to anyone without a guardians permission. Children who may not belong to the identity of the people claiming guardianship can not be released without proof! But just as there is human error in all things some may be held longer than necessary! Illegal immigrants know this, it’s the reason they run or hide from officers! Using the outcome of illegal migration which is a crime as a reason to make the people who’s job it is to uphold the law look bad is ridiculous! If you think people should be allowed to migrate to the United States without declaring themselves and receiving a means of identification, you’re an idiot! Identity theft, tax fraud, and other smaller crimes happen when illegal immigrants realize they can’t buy a house or receive a line of credit because they don’t have a legal identity!
Well Laura, we see who the ignorant, uneducated one is in your comment…..
Love this comment all day….Facts the man is a miserable piece of shit… and they know it. As my mother always said birds of dumb shit flock with shit….
So you mean to tell me this country’s decline has only been in the last three years? God bless humanity if you can’t see what’s coming with the left.
Who runs all the ghettos and keeps minorities in impoverished states? Democrats
Wouldn’t you call keeping minorities in impoverished states “systemic racism”?
Joe Biden has a history and track record of racism:
– Didn’t want his children growing up in a racial jungle
– Wrote the crime bill that sent more blacks to prison
– Helped pass NAFTA which bankrupted more minorities thank anyone
Please tell me again where the ignorance lies… I can do this forever
Oh! There it is. If you don’t agree you must be “uneducated M” well if you listened to an intelligent education, say studying the Bible, you might not be so smug and actually get a clue to reality rather than believe everything CNN and MSNBC tells you.
Fake News ?. Even if true who cares I am tired of having an egotistical, uneducated delusional president ?
That one was replaced by our current one. He’s much better than the last one.
Egotistical because he let all the governors do what they want and handle covid their own way? Egotistical because he didn’t interfere with federal policing when you were burning your own cities to the ground. Hes also superbeducated to the point you couldn’t even have a conversation with him, the man made a personal fortune and needed none of your money to get elected. First president ever to use his OWN MONEY and not a penny from anyone else. Delusional because he knows how ridiculous the woke left extremists are like YOU? I’d say he is sport on. Drain the swamp.
I completely agree with you!!
I definitely agree with you
Jeff, home got tons of outside money for his election. Why do you think he threw those ridiculous fundraising dinners and still does. I’m not shading him, they all do it. Just check your facts on that one.

Truth doesn’t matter! Welcome say bahhhhh! The government will take care of you! Jag offs who don’t care about the truth really are someone you don’t want anything to do with! Just keep on lying! Get the bumper sticker that says lying is cool just ask me? Fake news, fact checked , uneducated
Uneducated, REALLY STUPID, HE SAVED AMERICA FROM GETTING BOMBED BY KOREA, OBUMER COULDN’T DO THAT, OBUMER GAVE BILLIONS TO TERRORISTS CONTROLLED COUNTRIES JUST SO THEY WOULD LEAVE AMERICA ALONE, OBUMER WAS A PUSSY, HATED AMERICA, HIM AND IDIOT BIDEN DIDN’T DO SHIT!!!

Michelle Obama is a political operative. She & her husband have “made” millions since their 8 years at white house. They acted treacherously toward the newly elected president by planning spying and set up controversy where ever they could. Our country has always been known for peaceful transition of power. They Obamas have never relinquished it. Together they are a disgrace.
Amen. The Obamas are teaching impressionable minds to show disrespect to our President and this is the cause of all the disrespect for our country, our flag, our national anthem and our PRESIDENT.
no one should have a right to ripped children from their familys and locked them up like dogs… america is stolen land blood shed land that im not glad to be part of…….america is EVIL PURE EVIL.. NO I WONT STAND FOR THE FLAG. I WILL KNELL FOR GOD…
Then leave the USA and find another country where you’ll be happy. No one is holding you back.
If you don’t like America you I assume you know where the borders are. Even illiterate people seem to know where America begins and ends.
You will ‘knell’ for God? America is not pure evil. You have a serious mental problem and should get seek the appropriate mental help. You should also get out of the USA as soon as possible. I’ve been all over. I think Russia might suit you best. Live there for a few months and then tell us all how EVIL the USA is.
moron, every day when a parent is arrested for a crime, the kids are taken away, every single day. wake up and read some facts
I’ll help you pack
Then get the fuck out. Find you a land that is more to your liking.
Get the fuck out then. We don’t need more scumbags like you here!
America is NOT the first land in history to be conquered. For fucks sake. Puck up a history book. America is NOT the only country that had slaves. Do your research.Slavery has been around since the beginning of time. Eqyptians had slaves that built the pyramids. China used slaves to build the Great Wall. America was NOT the first to organize slave trade. Spaniards and Portuguese brought Africans over first.
This is the greatest country in the world. And ill vote for Trump over 300 Obamas. 10 thousand Bidens. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.
Then move to another country you dumb, ungratefull cunt!!! Easy as that
??As a minority, LEGAL immigrant & gay man I will be voting for President Trump in Nov2020. These cages were the creation of another administration and had these federally criminal, ILLEGAL alien, border jumpers not endangered their kids they wouldn’t have been separated. They’re ILLEGAL, their problem! As for Michelle Ovomit he needs to keep HIS mouth shut, utterly useless and like it’s “husband” a complete liar! I laughed when HE tried to “manufacture” tears???
Gee, good for you! Welcome to the USA, from another American(I maybe straight, but I ain’t ignorant, like them Democratic Politician’s! I have had several gay/bi friend’s over the year’s and I don’t care which game you like to play, as long as we are just friend’s and neither of us are forced one way, or the other, from our own choice’s.)! And, thank you, for being a LEGAL citizen, not them so-called “Dreamer’s”, that cause us and the border patrol, nightmare’s!
Why did Baroque constantly refer to you as Michael?
Trump all the way. If the Democrats win this country is just done. They will finish us off. Trump is our only hope.
If all you ignorant sh*ts would just research further you’ll fuxking realise that although Obama did built them, the cages, the kids were treated HUMANELY and brought back to their parents, and NONE of them went FUXKING MISSING. TrUmP fuxking has ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY, which means he keeps them there almost forever which this post CLEARLY FORGOT AS WELL. Your PIG OF A PRESIDENT IS ALSO FUXKING PART OF A CHILD TRAFFICKING RING.
Use words much? Did not think so. Go back to school, learn some manners, get a job. Then when you post, maybe someone will care.
Show some proof of all the allegations you just made against the greatest President in US history. Trump 2020
—TRUMP: “Put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from there parents once they cross the Border into the U.S.” — tweet Saturday.
THE FACTS: No law mandates that parents must be separated from their children at the border, and it’s not a policy Democrats have pushed or can change alone as the minority in Congress. The policy comes from Trump’s own administration, which has decided to enforce criminal charges against people crossing the border illegally with few or no previous offenses. Under U.S. protocol, if parents are jailed, their children would be separated from them.
Discussing the zero-tolerance policy recently, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said: “If we do our duty and prosecute those cases, then children inevitably for a period of time might be in different conditions.”
A Customs and Border Protection official told lawmakers last week that 658 children had been separated from their parents at the border from May 6 to May 19, after border agents began referring every illegal entry to criminal prosecutors. This is in addition to hundreds more who were estimated to have been removed from their parents at the border since October.
A 2008 law, passed unanimously by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush, says children traveling alone from countries other than Mexico or Canada must be released in the “least restrictive setting” — often to family or a government-run shelter — while their cases slowly wind through immigration court. The law came amid concerns about border control officials and their treatment of children.
How do you know that they are their parent’s, david scott!? The reasoning behind the separation is the number’s of children smuggled across the border, NOT being brought across, by their actual parent’s, but by those, who bought the children, for child sex trafficking, as well as the raping of them, before AND after crossing the border, not to mention, more then 60% of those, who admitted, that they were smuggled across the border, telling the stories themselves, about how they were more abused by the smuggler’s(BTW, AKA “Coyote’s”, who do it for free sex and the money.), then the border patrol, even during the Obummer Administration era, where they were stuck in school gym’s, along the border, temporarily(Until moved to the cages(With a pillow & thin throw-away shiny sheet.), in the facilities, from the overwhelmed judge’s and testing lab’s, that could not keep up with the amount of ILLEGAL ALIEN’S crossing the border, every single day/night.), due to the high rate of ILLEGAL’S crossing the border, as Obummer even spoke of needing a wall to block it.(Damn!? What an actual education can really do for a person, huh!?). Versus now, where there are no chain-link fences, but OUTSIDE of the facilities, to keep the “Coyote’s” from stealing the kid’s. And, they can watch TV, play game’s, play with toy’s and even play with each other, as they are watched over(Sound’s a Hell of a lot better, then a parent, who is arrested and thrown in prison, who is a legal resident of the USA, don’t it!?), until it is proven, that they ARE the legal parent, by DNA testing, to prove, they ARE related! And, what both of them, along with yourself, neglected to mention is, how once they are proven related, they ARE sent back to their parent’s, to live with, in a similar facility, with the TV’s, the private room’s and etc, with those game’s, toy’s & able to play with the children, that have also been sent back to the rightful parent’s, of that facility, as well. But, at least within 8 month’s, the Trump Administration tore-down the cage’s and made private room’s, for the kid’s to feel like they are being cared for, when the Obummer Administration did NOTHING, to fix even THAT simple problem(That was reconciled in 8 MONTH’S, under the Trump Administration!)! Which, should tell us ALL, how little they did shit, in those 8 YEAR’S, but divide us!
President Donald Trump all the way 2020! No bullshit… does what he says on the tin!
wow – a moment of truth from AP? intersting.
