Michelle Obama tears Trump a new one without mentioning his name.

“And here in America, we don’t give into our fears. We don’t build up walls to keep people out, because we know that our greatness has always depended on contributions from people who were born elsewhere but sought out this country and made it our home,” she said. “Some folks out there seem to have a very different perspective.”

She continued: “They seem to view our diversity as a threat to be contained rather than as a resource to be tapped. They tell us to be afraid of those who are different. To be suspicious of those with whom we disagree. They act as if name-calling is an acceptable substitute for thoughtful debate as if anger and intolerance should be our default state rather than the optimism and openness that have always been the engine of our progress.”

She says we shouldn't be suspicious of those with whom we disagree.

I guess she's never seen some of the anti-Republican opinions around here.
