First Lady Michelle Obama couldn’t bring herself to actually speak the words “Donald Trump” in two separate Hillary for America campaign speeches in North Carolina Tuesday.
In a 3,700-word speech at the Charlotte Convention Center, and later that day in a 4,000-word speech at North Carolina State University, Mrs. Obama could only bear to refer to Donald Trump as “candidate” (six times) or “opponent” (four times):
“A Candidate”:
- “A candidate traffics in prejudice, fear and lies on the campaign trail,
- “A candidate mocks people with disabilities or people who are sick,
- “A candidate implies that our veterans who have served our country so bravely are somehow weak because they’re dealing with the wounds of war,
- “A candidate regularly demeans and humiliates women, making cruel and insulting comments about our bodies, criticizing how we look and how we act,
- “That’s who that candidate really is,”
- “A candidate is not going to suddenly change once they’re in office.”
“Opponent”:
- “But you could also swing an entire precinct for Hillary's opponent with a protest vote or by staying home out of frustration,”
- “Either Hillary Clinton or her opponent will be President this year,”
- “And if you vote for someone other than Hillary or if you don't vote at all, then you'll be helping to elect Hillary's opponent,”
- “So the question is, do you want Hillary Clinton to be your President or do you want her opponent to be your President?”
