In reply to the discussion: Michelle Obama Gives Zero Fucks About What the Saudis Wanted Her To Wear [View all]misterhighwasted
(9,148 posts)She is not Saudi & the only time she may respectfully wear one is upon entering a Mosque.
She did however, wear loose clothing out of respect for Saudi law & did not reach out to engage in handshake nor nod upon greeting the King's entourage.
The First Lady only responded to such gestures when she was approached first.
That is the protocol for female foreign dignitaries.
You really think Michele Obama would take on such a visit without being coached or wanting t know the proper protocol?
Maybe in a teabilly world, but the First Lady is much smarter than to just show up without doing her homework on protocol.
She could have indeed chosen to wear a headscarf, but it was never a proper requirement.
Such bulls*it to be criticized on.
The headscarf issue is irrelevant except to Faux News.
Thanks
