Michelle Obama 2024? Republicans raising money off invented "rumor"

Republicans are using a baseless "rumor" that former first lady Michelle Obama will run for president in 2024 to raise money for Senate candidates.

The former first lady has repeatedly ruled out a presidential run — or any other entry into electoral politics — but the National Republican Senatorial Committee twice this week sent out fundraising appeals warning supporters that she is exploring a White House bid, while offering no evidence.

"Yup, you are reading this right. Michelle Obama? Running for PRESIDENT in 2024?" the NRSC, which is led by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said in a Jan. 24 fundraising email first flagged by Punchbowl News. "Left-wing Democrats KNOW they are going to LOSE their Majority in Congress this November, so they want to bring out an OBAMA to save them in 2024."

The group sent a similar fundraising email one day earlier.

kind of contrary to what rump himself thought of MObama. The GOP is desperately trying to overturn all of the rocks, and pull up any kind of non-issues to try and nail democrats and their issues in order to try and slow down, stop our progress. Sad and pathetic, isn't it?
