Michelle Obama Is ‘Concerned’ for Women Who Voted for President Trump

Still struggling to come to terms with the results of the 2016 election, former first lady Michelle Obama recently said she’s concerned for women and “how we think.”

“In light of this last election, I’m concerned about us as women and how we think,” she said at the United State of Women Summit in Los Angeles. “What is going on in our heads where we let that happen, you know?”

Obama referred to Clinton as “the most qualified” candidate running for president in 2016, and said voting against her “says something about where we are.” That’s despite the multiple investigations, and of course Clinton’s uncanny inability to connect with the American public.

“When the most qualified person running was a woman, and look what we did instead, I mean that says something about where we are,” Obama added. The comments reflected similar ones made in September 2017, where the former first lady infamously said “any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice.”

Patriarchy wrapped in feminism never gets old.

“Choice,” according to Obama and her fellow feminists, has evolved to mean supporting Hillary Clinton — or whoever the Democratic candidate is of the day — based on your body parts. (Pay no mind to Sarah Palin or Carly Fiorina, however.)

Although it sounds nice coming from celebrities and former first ladies (and comes with swag galore), doing what you’re told is hardly empowering — in fact, it’s oppressive.

However loud, the message hasn’t worked. In the 2016 election, 52 percent of white women, 4 percent of black women, and 25 percent of Latina women voted for Donald Trump.

Today, despite multiple investigations, 52 percent approve of how he’s handling the economy.

Sure, Trump is an imperfect human who has given women a reason to oppose him. But whether or not his allegations are justifiable based on a greater policy goal isn’t up to Obama to decide. It’s up to the individual — something the feminist movement has forgotten.

As for her question — “What is going on in our heads?” — I can’t speak for everyone, but jobs, tax reform, a strong national defense, and an educational system that works for all were a few items on the docket in 2016. And from the sound of it, these issues required far more more thinking “in our heads” than the decision to vote based on your body parts.

But as always, we appreciate the concern.

It is hard for political tripe to sound condescending, but Mooch made it work in this case. . . .

But women getting slapped in the face so hard they have to go to the hospital, and being called slave and spit on, with the women not reporting it because the guy who did it is such a Democratic progressive who does so much for women’s causes is perfectly fine.

Totally agree. They can’t help jacking their jaws. But I think an even deeper hatred will sink in if Trump has that meeting he wants with Kanye and Kopernick (sp?).

The movement that Candace Owens and Kanye started can really win followers in the Black community. And when that happens, Hollywood and the Libs will be stripped naked of any cultural caché they ever had.

And, of course, what has impressed Kanye is the actual results that Trump has delivered in terms of jobs, jobs, jobs for the Black community.

The “resistance” defined: a perpetual tantrum because of losing an election.

Concerned that they might be blessed with analytical brains and thus be resistent to her utopian promises?

"...she’s just a troll.">

You don't suppose Michelle is being trotted out to maybe take the heat off Obama and Kerry's posting about President Trump's putting America first in the Iran deal? After all that was one of his legacy's or supposed to be.....

Stay out of my business, Mooch. And take your faux concern elsewhere.

“Michelle Obama Is ‘Concerned’ for Women Who Voted for President Trump”

And I’m concerned of the impact her fat ass has on couches and chairs.

I thought she was on the Star Wars Solo Movie publicity tour with the rest of the Cast.

She wants to stir up identity politics to get women in line with the way Democrats want us to think, the way Democrats have gotten some minorities to think one way.
