January 15, 20251 yr comment_27039075 Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend Donald Trump's inauguration next week, her office said Tuesday, without providing an explanation for her decision. "Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration," a statement from the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama said. The decision to forgo attendance at Trump's formal swearing-in is a break with tradition for the ceremony, in which former presidents and their wives typically participate. Former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush will attend the inauguration, his office said, and sources familiar told CNN that former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton also will be there. Michelle Obama also was not in attendance at a memorial service last week for former President Jimmy Carter, remaining instead in Hawaii. Former President Barack Obama attended the service at the National Cathedral in Washington, sitting next to Trump and engaging in animated conversation with him as the program was getting underway. Other former first ladies, including Hillary Clinton and Laura Bush, both attended the Carter event. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/01/14/politics/michelle-obama-trump-inauguration/index.html Edited January 15, 20251 yr by midnightdawn Link to comment https://atrl.net/forums/topic/495545-michelle-obama-will-skip-trumps-inauguration/ Share on other sites Share on Bluesky Share on X Share on Facebook {lang="reddit_text" Share on Pinterest More sharing options...

January 15, 20251 yr comment_27039531 Why should she be the bigger person, trump's cult have called her the trans slur monkey for ten plus years, even till this day I have been arguing with these racist POS white folks on twitter calling her a man. Why should black people always be the bigger ones? Why should we always be the ones to forgive and forget these vile racists?
