The Obama Presidential Center is finally opening!

Tune in today on https://t.co/GYkEOK8EuT starting at 11am CT as Michelle and I share what this moment means to us and celebrate with friends, family, and members of the community in Chicago.

A grown white man stood on the grounds of the White House, with a microphone in his hand, and the best thing he could think to do was repeat a tired, racist conspiracy theory about Michelle Obama. Nothing remotely intelligent, just the same old garbage that has circulated among racist corners of the internet for years.

Imagine winning a fight and then immediately reminding the world that you have the intellectual depth of a puddle. Josh Hokit didn’t expose Michelle Obama. He exposed himself.

Michelle Obama is a Princeton graduate. A Harvard Law graduate. An attorney. A bestselling author. A former First Lady of the United States. One of the most admired women in the world. Her accomplishments will be remembered long after people forget the name of the fighter who decided to embarrass himself for applause.

What makes this even worse is that it happened at the White House, and when given the opportunity to condemn it, the Trump White House refused. That tells you everything you need to know. This is the same political culture that has repeatedly tolerated racist attacks on the Obamas, trafficked in dehumanizing imagery, and winked at the worst instincts of its supporters. The silence was not an oversight. It was a statement.

Notice how quickly maganuts rush to defend Melaria Trump whenever anyone says anything remotely critical about her. They demand civility and want respect for the office of First Lady. But when Michelle Obama is targeted with racist, sexist, and dehumanizing lies, they become strangely silent. Their outrage is selective. Their principles are conditional. Their hypocrisy is obvious.

Michelle Obama does not need validation from Josh Hokit, Donald Trump, or anyone else occupying the comment section of American politics. She has already established who she is through her character, intellect, accomplishments, grace, and service. The truth is that Michelle Obama represents everything that terrifies certain people: a brilliant Black woman who cannot be diminished, intimidated, or erased.

Michelle Obama is a beautiful Black woman. She is an accomplished Black woman. she is a brilliant Black woman. She is a respected Black woman. And every racist fool who thinks otherwise can go straight to hades.

History will remember Michelle Obama. History will remember Barack Obama. History will remember the progress they represented. As for the people who spend their time recycling racist conspiracy theories posting memes, depicting them as animals, history has a place for them too. It just isn’t where they think it is.

No insult can shrink a woman whose legacy is already larger than the people attacking her.

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

@Jackie_M_93 I hope we quickly wrap up this story line and that we don’t revert back to Ashley and Andre renewing feelings because my nerves can’t take that foolishness anymore 😩

[linda houston @gentlegale]

@Jackie_M_93 I need Dani and Nicole to cuss Vanessa out for that foolishness because she clearly doesn’t care about boundaries or optics

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

NEWS: Governor Wes Moore, along with Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon Scott, have overseen an over 40% decrease in homicides in Maryland putting the state on pace for its lowest homicide rate in over 40 years. That’s huge.

@kayla_9908 I love Anita but she’s KILLING ME with this constant Barbara nonsense 😩😡

[linda houston @gentlegale]

@Jackie_M_93 Naomi literally has a ton of cousins, a sister, aunts, parents, grandparents surrounding her! It’s not like she went to dinner or an event solo 🤷🏽‍♀️

[linda houston @gentlegale]

@niki_smith1 Carlton or Kial would have been so awesome because we could have seen Nicole wrestle with her judgement and instincts for sleeping with an obviously criminal sociopath… oh well 🤷🏽‍♀️. #BeyondTheGates

[linda houston @gentlegale]

@E_ShaManagement Lawd 😩😡

[linda houston @gentlegale]

@kayla_9908 I need a girl’s trip consisting of Ashley, Naomi, Vanessa, Eva, and Leslie bka maumau where they take a cruise and are ship wrecked never to be seen or heard from again 😡

[linda houston @gentlegale]
