Last week, Michelle Obama offered the most ridiculous excuse for skipping Donald Trump’s inauguration, and let’s just say it didn’t do her any favors. On a podcast few people listen to—the one she does with her brother—she claimed she didn’t attend because she “had nothing to wear.”
And the media ate it up as if that explanation made sense, completely ignoring the fact that a former first lady with unlimited resources couldn’t find a dress would be like Donald Trump claiming he doesn’t have enough ties.
I’ve been saying for a while now that despite the media’s portrayal that she has been publicly refuting rumors of marital problems with Barack, that she’s actually been evasive whenever asked about those rumors, dodging direct questions with vague empowerment-speak instead of a clear denial.
And she’s done it again!
What’s especially telling about Michelle Obama’s latest attempt to address those persistent divorce rumors isn’t what she says — it’s what she carefully avoids saying. In a recent appearance on “The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett,” with her brother, we got the same kind of non-denial denial we’ve been getting for weeks.
