Former first lady Michelle Obama excoriated President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump for refusing to behave “maturely” and blocking the smooth transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden.
In a lengthy Instagram post on Monday, Obama wrote about how she welcomed Donald and Melania Trump to the White House in 2016 despite the fact that Donald Trump had “spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger.”
“That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive,” Obama said. “But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside.”
Obama said she and Barack Obama instructed their staff to do what “George and Laura Bush had done for us: run a respectful, seamless transition of power—one of the hallmarks of American democracy.”
