They go after Michelle because she is so popular,

the most popular person from the political sphere in the USA, and because they are a gorgeous, brilliant and kind couple.

in a wet dress in front of the cameras either like tsf's arm piece. I have a feeling, if my Italian Grandma was still alive, what she would have called Mrs.TSF in Italian. It begins with a P and ends with an A, and I am not talking about the Pasta sauce. Gramma called things like she saw them.

Grandma used a shortened version of the word when ever she saw a scantily dressed woman in public. I never knew about the connection to the sauce, until Alex Guarnaschelli explained it's origin once on Food Network. I laughed like crazy when I heard it. 🤣

if that person is a woman and they triple down if it's a Black woman.

And yes, Michelle Obama is the most popular, respected and liked person in politics and they can't stand it.

Attacking Michelle Obama, in ANY context, is the holy trinity of attacks for the mindless gooners on the right...

1) Female - gotta get that misogyny in dontcha know???
2) Race - obvious one, they LOVE to use this line of attack almost as much as the N-word ... almost.
3) Insinuating Sexual Preference as a pejorative as if it were actually so...

They dog whistle the mouth-breathers at every step and this one is economy of scale for them.

I've never seen that one before. Michelle is the epitome of beauty, class, intelligence and grace. So is President Obama.

They are everything that DJT and Melania are not and never will be. I am reminded of the old expression "Money can't buy class" and DJT and Melania prove it everyday.

MAGAts think it's hilarious to trigger the libtards. I doubt he truly thinks Michelle is trans, but he knows he's not supposed to say it, so he does.

Take that, Libs! You're not the boss of me!

I am SO sick of stupid, uneducated people (in this case some "fighter" wearing shorts that are two sizes too small so that he can showcase his "package", little as it was) name calling an educated, sophisticated, elegant woman, AND I am incredibly disgusted by the people who are laughing this off as a joke, or defending it, or condoning his right to say it.

We have GOT to get the stupid out of the equation. I am gonna preach this until the day that I die. Stupid people used to be embarrassed that they were stupid and they kept a low profile. Trump, et al has given "stupid" notoriety enough that the rest of us all have to be affected by it. I'm tired of it.

Ahuck...ahuck...ahuck... They sound like idiots because they are idiots. They have NO desire to educate themselves, or better themselves, or do anything that is a positive force. They want to be rewarded for their stupidity by having the other stupid ones laugh at their moment in the public view. You can spot them all from miles away. This particular idiot will either be dead in five years from getting hit in the head, or will be homeless and destitute when his body wears out. As much as this sounds like classism, how dare that sombitch attack someone who is so much MORE than he will ever be.
