Michelle Obama’s Response To The Capitol Riot Is What Everyone Is Thinking

In the astounding wake of the destructive pro-Trump insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Americans across the country are still shocked and dismayed with the chaos that ensued, including former first lady Michelle Obama. President Donald Trump roused mobs to march on the Capitol following his Jan. 6 "Save America" rally with unfounded claims of election fraud, putting the lives of American lawmakers in grave danger. The White House did not previously respond to Elite Daily’s request for comment on Trump’s influence on the riot. But Michelle Obama’s response to the Capitol riot points out how there are two versions of America — and they aren’t treated equally.

"Like all of you, I watched as a gang — organized, violent, and mad they’d lost an election—laid siege to the United States Capitol," Obama wrote in a statement shared on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. "And once authorities finally gained control of the situation, these rioters and gang members were led out of the building not in handcuffs, but free to carry on with their days. The day was a fulfillment of the wishes of an infantile and unpatriotic president who can’t handle the truth of his own failures. And the wreckage lays at the feet of a party and media apparatus that gleefully cheered him on, knowing full well the possibility of consequences like these."
