[See NewsBusters for more.] Who better to interview Michelle Obama than CBS’s Gayle King? After all, the CBS This Morning host is a Democratic donor (including thousands to Barack Obama). She’s a close friend of the Obamas and even vacationed with the couple in 2017. So on Saturday, it shouldn't be surprising that the powerful journalist agreed that Barack Obama was scandal-free. Later, the co-host insisted that Trump’s reason for reversing course and “dismantling” so many Obama policies is simply because “the two of you did it.” She claimed, “I wonder what it’s like for you to sit and watch everything that you and President Obama built seemingly being torn down or dismantled simply because the two of you did it. Not because there’s a better alternative sometimes, but just because it was an idea of the Obama administration.”
