Michelle Opens Up In Interview
This comes days after Michelle claimed in an interview with “Good Morning America” that she sees herself as “someone that is comfortable getting out of the way so that the next generation can take the seat that I’m sitting in.”
“They are our hope,” Michelle said of future generations. “They are not jaded yet. They are not beaten down by what they’re supposed to be. They are still wide open.”
Michelle also talked about her alleged memories of attending the inauguration of Joe Biden right after the Capitol riots.
“The mood was wonderful, but it was also mixed,” Michelle said. “I think everyone was concerned about more riots, but we were assured that things were under control.”
“When you see fellow Americans storming the Capitol, that, you know, that sits with you, so that reality was with us on that stage,” she added.
“But to watch our friend Joe Biden and Jill [Biden] stand there with their beautiful family, to see [Vice President Kamala Harris] and her family standing there, brave and bold, knowing that they were taking on a massive amount of responsibility to get this country back on track,” Michelle continued.
