Our former FLOTUS with the MOSTEST took the mic at a conference in Boston today and in true Michelle Obama style, she did not hold back. She once again reminded us of why we love the Obamas and how far we have sunk since their departure from the White House.
“Any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice,” Obama told the audience during a question-and-answer session with author Roxane Gay at Inbound, a marketing conference that has attracted an assortment of famous speakers this week.
“Quite frankly, we saw this in this election. As far as I’m concerned, any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice," Obama said.
"What does it mean for us, as women, that we look at those two candidates… and many of us said, 'That guy? He's better for me. His voice is more true to me.' Well, to me that just says, you don't like your voice. You like the thing you're told to like," she added, referring to President Trump.
