Michelle Obama gave 'elegant but epic shade' during 'absolutely riveting' DNC Convention speech

August 18, 2020By Bob Brigham



Michelle Obama gave a widely praised address to the Democratic National Committee Convention on Monday night.

Following her speech, MSNBC anchors Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace and Joy Reid were all impressed by the address.

“I would just like to see that Michelle Obama speech all over again,” Maddow said. “She is absolutely riveting, as is this format in some ways.”


“She delivered epic shade. ‘It is what it is’ was the line that Donald Trump had about deaths, and every single death, every single American life lost in this pandemic is the destruction of an entire family unit, of a universe, of a community, of a school if it was a teacher, of a hospital if it was a doctor.”

“So for her to throw that back at him was elegant, but epic shade,” Wallace said.

spoke, I kept powering down and up, I called to complain yelling that corporate owners deliberately did this by trump orders.
my phone went dead on their end, and all of a sudden it came back on.
