Zerlina Maxwell: Michelle Obama Is Noting It’s ‘Misogynistic and Sexist’ Americans Picked Trump over Hillary

‘And as a country we should take a moment to reflect on that’

EXCERPT:

MAXWELL: “I think she talks about this in one of the excerpts I read. She said during her time in the White House, you’re so busy, and you only have a finite amount of time. So she was busy every second trying to get work done as first lady and as part of the administration, she now has had a moment to reflect on her experiences, and as the first black woman to be first lady of the country. She has a lot to pull from, because she has a solely unique experience. I think that she is talking about the 2016 campaign. And I agree with her, the fact that we elected someone who had no qualifications to be president, who was running against a woman with a laundry list of qualifications to be president, and instead America or the Electoral chose to give the Electoral College to the person with no experience, who happen to be a man, just like all of the other presidents. And so, what Michelle Obama is highlighting is the fact that that in itself is misogynistic and sexist, and perhaps as a country we should take a moment to reflect on that.”
