'She really flayed, sliced and diced Donald Trump'Michelle Obama wrapped up the first night of the first ever virtual Democratic National Convention Monday with a scathing speech, in which she slammed the Trump White House for its chaos, division, and lack of empathy, and urged voters to vote for Joe Biden like their lives depend on it. She also made it clear that she doesnt believe Donald Trump is up to the task of being president. Following the speech, a panel on Fox News heaped praise on the former first lady and her speech.
The Daily Briefing host Dana Perino was less than impressed with what the rest of the convention had to offer, but the same cant be said for how she felt about Obamas speech.
Youve just got the sense that when you talk about authenticity, she has it in spades, Perino said. She has that voice, she has clarity and she knows what shes out there wanting to do. And she was trying to get everybody to really focus, and then she had a call to action: Ask for your ballot tonight. I think that the DNC, if they look over the course of the night, the first virtual convention of our history, I think they would say that Michelle Obama stuck the landing.
Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, who has been the target of Trumps ire in the past, agreed.
You know, its interesting. You know, Michelle Obama, as she said, doesnt like politics and she said that this speech was her main contribution to the Biden campaign. It was a heck of a contribution, Wallace said. She really flayed, sliced and diced Donald Trump, talking about the chaos and confusion, and lack of empathy, especially coming from this president and this White House. And again, very practical. Not just, This is what your feelings should be. But you gotta get out, you gotta vote, you gotta convince your neighbors to vote. This was a very effective speech.

for years and years.
Maybe Fux News is finally starting to realize that its lies just don't fly so well now that Trump has enabled the rest of the world's media to call a lie a lie. They may be realizing that they are out of touch with the pulse of the public.
Maybe. I doubt it, but I can wish.
