Former First Lady Michelle Obama, who has admitted to being ashamed of America for most of her life (until they elected her husband President, of course), drew the admiration of anti-American CNN hosts following her speech at the virtual Democratic National Convention. Swoon for her “dystopian” vision of America, the Zuckerville collective praised it by calling on violent rhetoric; touting her as going “for the jugular” against President Trump.
Wolf Blitzer wasted zero time after Mrs. Obama was done depressing the country. “Truly extraordinary moment in American political history,” he gushed. “The former First Lady of the United States delivering a powerful speech (…) directly launching a very, very powerful attack on the current President of the United States…”
Before really digging into why he was enthralled by Obama’s dreary droning, Jake Tapper rhetorically knelt down to kiss her feet. “Well, first of all, before I get to any of the content, we should just acknowledge that the former First Lady is one of the most effective speakers in American politics today,” he proclaimed.
He added: “In fact, if I can be so bold, she's a more effective speaker than Vice President Joe Biden is when reading from a teleprompter.”
While the liberal media were disgusted by Trump’s “American carnage” line in his inauguration address, Tapper lauded Obama’s “very dystopian picture of the United States.” Here’s that nonsense (Click “expand”):
But beyond that we've never heard this country, a former first lady or current first lady, speak this starkly about the candidate that she is not supporting. She painted, of all, a very dystopian picture of the United States, and I know there are people out there who probably recognize that dystopia right now. But it's just not the kind of thing you hear first ladies talk about. She talked about white supremacists bearing torches and children being stripped from their families and thrown into cages, pepper spray and tear gas used for a photo op; all stories that we lived through and can remember. But it's not typically the kind of picture that a first lady is known to make.
The other thing I would say is, her criticisms of President Trump were not about his policies. They were about his lack of character. She talked about chaos, she talked about division, she alluded to racism, she talked about his lack of empathy. She said, as you noted, the wrong president for our time. She said he was in out of our head – in over his head. He simply cannot be who we need him to be. And then, she used his own words -- Trump's own words, you might remember in that Axios interview, he said, “it is what it is,” referring to the now 170,000 dead Americans we have due to coronavirus. And Michelle Obama used those words against him. "It is what it is" describing him.
Of course, he concluded by suggesting it was “a historic speech in any regard.”
Chief political correspondent Dana Bash was up next and immediately used violent rhetoric to describe what Obama supposedly did to the President. “Absolutely, and on that note, what struck me was how much she went for the jugular on Donald Trump, not just in her sort of blanket assessment, poor assessment of him, but she knew where to hit him where it hurts,” she boasted.
She continued: “So, she didn't just go after him, but she went after him in a way that she really knew would bug him.”
Before moving on to a different set of panelists, political correspondent Abby Phillip talked about “you could really hear the frustration in her voice, you could see it in her face, and I think that's what made this so powerful.”
The Zuckerbots were glorifying Obama’s bleak vision of America because that was the narrative they’ve been feeding their viewers for years now, and they needed to capitalize on it during the election.
This gushing for a “dystopian” vision of our great country was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Tracfone and Disney. Their contact information is linked if you want to tell them about what they’re funding.

CNN’s America's Choice 2020: Democratic National Convention
August 17, 2020
11:04:17 p.m. EasternWOLF BLITZER: Truly extraordinary moment in American political history. The former First Lady of the United States delivering a powerful speech not only, of course, supporting Joe Biden for president of the United States, but directly launching a very, very powerful attack on the current President of the United States, saying, “he's the wrong president for our country,” “he's way in,” she says, “over his head.” Jake, what do you think?
JAKE TAPPER: Well, first of all, before I get to any of the content, we should just acknowledge that the former First Lady is one of the most effective speakers in American politics today. I mean, she was reading that from a teleprompter, and the way she speaks is, you know, strong enough to give any politician a run for his or her money. In fact, if I can be so bold, she's a more effective speaker than Vice President Joe Biden is when reading from a teleprompter.
But beyond that we've never heard this country, a former first lady or current first lady, speak this starkly about the candidate that she is not supporting. She painted, of all, a very dystopian picture of the United States, and I know there are people out there who probably recognize that dystopia right now. But it's just not the kind of thing you hear first ladies talk about. She talked about white supremacists bearing torches and children being stripped from their families and thrown into cages, pepper spray and tear gas used for a photo op; all stories that we lived through and can remember. But it's not typically the kind of picture that a first lady is known to make.
The other thing I would say is, her criticisms of President Trump were not about his policies. They were about his lack of character. She talked about chaos, she talked about division, she alluded to racism, she talked about his lack of empathy. She said, as you noted, the wrong president for our time. She said he was in out of our head – in over his head. He simply cannot be who we need him to be. And then, she used his own words -- Trump's own words, you might remember in that Axios interview, he said, “it is what it is,” referring to the now 170,000 dead Americans we have due to coronavirus. And Michelle Obama used those words against him. "It is what it is" describing him.
So, really, it is a historic speech in any regard, both in terms of the scene she painted of the United States right now, and also what she had to say about the current President of the United States.
BLITZER: Yeah, she certainly did. Dana, go ahead.
DANA BASH: Yeah, I know. Absolutely, and on that note, what struck me was how much she went for the jugular on Donald Trump, not just in her sort of blanket assessment, poor assessment of him, but she knew where to hit him where it hurts. Talking about the fact that he lost the national popular vote by nearly 3 million votes. We know that that is something that bothers the President almost as much as anything. And also talking about the fact that he barely won the electoral college, that he won a margin that averaged just one or two votes per precinct.
So, she didn't just go after him, but she went after him in a way that she really knew would bug him.
The other thing that was really striking, as a parent, is the way she was trying to reach out to parents, about, as Jake was saying, the morality and the character that people tried to teach their kids. And how she argued that that completely flies in the face of what they see in the White House. That kids are thinking that parents are just not telling them the truth, they're lying to them when they explain what is right and wrong. And that is certainly a way that she's trying to reach out to people. Especially, she emphasized that she is not someone who likes politics at all.
ABBY PHILLIP: Yeah. I mean, you could really hear the frustration in her voice, you could see it in her face, and I think that's what made this so powerful.
