In a recent episode of Megyn Kellyโs podcast, Tucker Carlson threw some serious low blows toward former First Lady Michelle Obama after expressing her plight as a Black woman and wife. His hateful comments only fueled right-winged social media to drag her.
Suggested Reading
Carlson recently went on The Megyn Kelly Show to unleash all his bottled-up hate toward Michelle Obama. His comments in this particular section of the conversation were aimed at her recent podcast appearances where she opened up about her marriage with former President Barack Obama. Michelle didnโt drag husband but rather admitted that he ainโt have no money when they met and also threw some sarcasm about his ambition for running for office.
However, that paired with her absence from President Donald Trumpโs inauguration led some sleuths to believe the Obamas were inching toward divorce - a rumor Michelle has since shut down. Despite the assertion, Carlson was quite disturbed by her transparency. To Carlson, Michelle โreally dislikes her husband.โ
โIโm not just saying that to be catty. I think Iโm trying to feel compassion for her but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable,โ Carlson said to Kelly. โThereโs nothing more destabilizing than an unhappy marriageโ and thatโs why he believes Michelleโs life exemplifies why it was important to focus on marriage.โ
He then went ron to say itโs โeasy to make fun of herโ and admitted to enjoying doing so. His next claim was that people who are afflicted with โrestlessness, rage and emptinessโ in their marriage are the ones โwrecking our society.โย
As expected, Carlsonโsย comments lit a matchbox of unwarranted hateful comments targeted at the former first lady. Among the continuous (and ridiculous) misgendering jabs and narcissist labels, people on the right really took Michelleโs humanization of herself as her being a brat.
โMichelle Obama lives a lifestyle that would make some European monarchs blush. I donโt doubt sheโs profoundly unhappy, like many aimless rich people. Maybe she needs to realize her misery is a choice, and not the fault of some nebulous race conspiracy,โ wrote one X user.
โMichelle Obama is showing himself to be the bitter, self-pitying narcissist weโve always known him to be. Are you as tired of hearing him complain as I am?โ wrote another.
โMichelle is bitter. It comes across in what she talks about and how she looks,โ read another X post.
Blah blah blah. Despite the egregious misinterpretations, Obama made it clear that sheโs in a space now where sheโs trying to find her identity outside of being First Lady, which weโve all seen has allowed her to blossom to another level of fabulous.
