Michelle Obama Won't Forgive Trump for 'Birther' Claims

Michelle Obama Won’t Forgive Trump for ‘Birther’ Claims
November 9, 2018 at 7:25 am EST By Taegan Goddard


Former first lady Michelle Obama said her her new book, Becoming, that she will “never forgive” Donald Trump for stoking far-right “birtherism” theories about then-President Obama during his campaign, the Washington Post reports.

Said Obama: “The whole thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed. But it was also dangerous, deliberately meant to stir up the wingnuts and kooks. What if someone with an unstable mind loaded a gun and drove to Washington? What if that person went looking for our girls? Donald Trump, with his loud and reckless innuendos, was putting my family’s safety at risk. And for this I’d never forgive him.”

The only thing that worries me is that this is going to stir up that orange fuckstick and his mentally ill cult followers. I'm surprised that he hasn't tweeted about it yet. Hopefully, he too busy worrying about seeing his asshole son being carted off in handcuffs.

his rhetoric is. Trump is a dangerous man, and he doesn't care who he hurts.
