Michelle Obama Gets Fact Checked Over Issue 'Democrats Have Persistently Distorted'

[snip]On illegal immigration, Mrs. Obama lamented "putting kids in cages" as she claimed President Trump has no empathy.

(her "nibbs" and old fake news)

But the facts and her husband's history as president tell a different story. It was the Obama administration that first instituted the policy of separating children from adults at the border. President Obama was the first to "put kids in cages."

Her statement on the issue was so misleading, it landed her a fact-check from the (Associated Press.)

Ms. Obama's old and proven false lamentation about children in cages made her entire speech specious. Is she the Harris replacement? The DNC will have to do something but not with this unqualified superficial woman of color..."...they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character” MLK

The Obama’s desiccated the race forest so a small match would set the country on fire.

As is the cast with Hildabeast, this woman would have no credibility were she not married to Obozo. Imagine that simian face and crooked teeth without her husband to fall back on.

A caller to Rush’s show today said that in her speech Obama stated, “Unlike so many of you, Barack and I have...” regarding teaching their kids empathy and morals. He said it was right around the six minute mark.

Shortly after the call Rush said that multiple people had verified that the caller was wrong, had misheard it etc.

I decided to see for myself. I watched it at the ABC news site expecting to hear her say “and like so many of you”. I was surprised to hear very clearly “unlike”. Why would Rush try to cover it up?

That is an interesting viewpoint that bears repeating.

I didn’t see an email option for non subscribers. I just thought it odd as he was talking about how depressing her speech was.

Could she have said “And like...”?

You are right she did say “UNLIKE” you. At about the 6 min mark.

Both she and Barak are sloppy speakers. I hated that he always said “ta” instead of “to”, for example. She doesn’t clearly say “and like you”, but to believe they would broadcast a video with her saying something as stupid as “unlike you” is crazy.

That viral news story began based on video and photos taken during her husband's administration.

I was surprised to hear very clearly “unlike”.

I listened to her speech as well, and at the 6:07 mark I heard the unlike you sentence as well.

As clear as this pronunciation is, I believe that Rush and others will give the other interpretation so as to avoid the immediate backlash of RACISM!

“The issue is never the issue. The issue is only The Revolution.”

The narrative of “Trump Cages Kids” is firmly in the mind of the Left, and no amount of truth matters. The lie has been repeated enough, it is now the truth.

It sounds like “And like....” to me. If it’s otherwise, it’s clearly a mistake. It doesn’t seem worth picking at.

More interesting to me was at the 11:00 mark. Something like “If you think that it can’t get any worse, trust me, it can, and will, if we don’t make a change this election.”

It kind of comes off as a bit of a threat from one perspective. As if to say “You think the violence and looting are bad now? Don’t vote for Joe and then see what we do.”

They have been "distorted". Their hideous past is gleefully covered up by their media accomplices, their fraud continually exposed but never held to any standard, and their most corrupt treated with respect when deserving none. When their mask is removed, the true core of the democrat is revealed....

That’s what I expected to hear. That’s not what she said.
