Former first lady Michelle Obama gave a powerful takedown of the Trump administration during her prime-time address on the first night of the Democratic National Committee Convention.
“The job is hard,” Obama explained. “You can’t fake your way through this job.”
She explained the awful example adults are setting in Trump’s America, noting many of the troubling events of 2020, from adults who won’t wear masks to the gassing of peaceful protesters.
She addressed her famous line, “When they go low, we go high.”
“Going high is the only thing that works,” she argued. “Going high means taking the harder path.”
“Donald Trump is the wrong president for our country,” she declared. “We have to vote for Joe Biden like our lives depend upon it.”
She urged voters to request an absentee ballot “tonight.”
