What an AMAZING, beautiful speech by Michelle Obama, listing the challenges President Obama faced, and his incredible achievements.
I can't prove it, but I know when she mentioned "winning a Nobel Peace Prize," Barack and Hillary had a good laugh at envious trump.
I LOVE THIS SPEECH.🙏♥️🙏
SYKES: Are you aware the US was taking millions of barrels of oil from Iran?
WRIGHT: We are preventing the flow of Iranian oil
SYKES: That is not what I asked you. Can I play some audio?
*plays audio of Trump admitting the US is stealing Iranian oil*
WRIGHT: I think the president is talking casually
SYKES: Do you think that it's appropriate to 'talk casually' about war?
WRIGHT: I think you talk to all different audiences and you talk in all different styles
SYKES: There are 13 service members who are dead
WRIGHT: He treats this war deadly serious
SYKES: You just said he was speaking casually
WRIGHT: He speaks 20 hours a day
Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
If you think I’m trashing MAGA (whatever that is now) I really am sorry. I know for certain there are millions of Americans who voted for Donald Trump that love this country and love their neighbors and love their families and struggle and succeed and fail just like me and you and everyone. And I don’t begrudge them their political affiliation in any way. I just abhor the hate. The meanness for the sake of being mean. No matter where it’s coming from. I’m not your enemy man. I’m really not. They’re trying to get us to fight among ourselves while they pick our pockets and piss on our legs and tell us it’s raining. I’m not doing that to you and I sure as hell know you’re not doing that to me. What could we possibly gain by hating each other as they walk off with all the food on the table. We can disagree with each other without hating each other. We just all need to break the algorithm man. It’s so much more fun finding a reason to love someone than it is finding a reason to hate them.
Karolie just read off a list of (largely arguably true) comments by Dems about Trump— so here’s a reminder that Trump is not exactly innocent “rhetoric” wise👇🏽
