Michelle Obama blamed nonvoters, not Republicans, for President Trump's election in 2016.
In her soon-to-be-released Netflix documentary, Becoming, the former first lady opened up about her frustration with those who didn't vote in the 2016 election. She claimed it was the fault of apathetic citizens that Trump won in 2016 and that President Obama didn't have a Democratic majority in the House and Senate when he was in the White House.
"So, the day I left the White House, and I write about how painful it was to sit on that [inauguration] stage," Obama explained. "A lot of our folks didnt vote. It was almost like a slap in the face.
She continued, "I understand the people who voted for Trump. The people who didnt vote at all, the young people, the women, thats when you think, man, people think this is a game."
Obama noted that the lack of turnout for Hillary Clinton in 2016 had down-ballot effects and lamented poor midterm election turnout while her husband was in office.
"It wasnt just in this election," she explained. "Every midterm. Every time Barack didnt get the Congress he needed, that was because our folks didnt show up. After all that work, they just couldnt be bothered to vote at all. Thats my trauma.

Who in the world is asking him how he felt? Does anybody care what Obama’s husband thinks?
Of course you do: Bitter Clingers....
She/He is always angry about something. what b*tch she/he must be hard to live with.
The lack of Trans agenda today must have her stressed.
The incredible sense of entitlement these people have.
I think the Democrats manufacture a lot of votes out of nothing.
And at the end of the day, when they see the grand total of all the votes that get counted in their favor, they must say, “We really are unpopular” — even if they “won”. I’m sure it galls them.
Why wouldn’t a Democrat voter be apathetic? No one on their Democrat ballot worth voting for. I should imagine they would be downright depressed.
It was a “slap in the face” Big Mike.
Obama sucked ass.
THAT's my trauma.
What an insufferable bitch.
Big Mike is running, and I put it as 60% chance Mikey will be the Dem candidate.
That’s based on nothing but a wag on my part. :)
“A lot of our folks”
RACIST
Don’t worry with mail-in voting and with wearing a mask to voting and then voting again without the mask they will be able to do as many as they want
Presenting ... the DemoKKKrat nominee for president, campaigning for election exactly as it has been for months.
Lobbying for an all Mail-In Vote for November.............(remind me, who was it that floated the idea that those that didnt vote should be fined??)
