Gayle King Agrees: 'No Scandals" for Eight Years of Obama

[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. King conducted an hour-long interview with the former First Lady at the Essence Festival in New Orleans. Mrs. Obama complained about having to go to Donald Trump’s inauguration and the preceding eight years in the White House: “Watching my husband get raked over the coals, feeling like we had to do everything perfectly. You know, no scandal, no nothing.” King eagerly agreed, “No scandals. Yes.”
