Tucker Carlson makes explosive claims about Michelle Obama in blistering new attack on former first lady

According to Tucker Carlson, Michelle Obama is thought to harbor animosity towards her husband Barack, with people in unhappy marriages being held responsible for the decline of society. 

The former Fox News anchor made the blistering comments on The Megyn Kelly Show as he discussed the Obama’s much-talked about 30-year marriage. 

Carlson said former First Lady Michelle ‘really dislikes her husband and it’s super obvious.’

‘I’m not just saying that to be catty…  I think I’m trying to feel compassion for her but her hostility toward the guy is unbelievable.’

The right-wing commentator proceeded to argue that ‘there’s nothing more disruptive than a marriage lacking in happiness,’ underlining why he deems Michelle’s life as a testament to the significance of prioritizing marriage.

‘It’s not just her,’ Carlson added. ‘She stands out as an anomaly, providing easy fodder for ridicule, which I find amusing. However, I contend that there is a broader demographic exhibiting similar feelings of discontent, anger, and void, and these individuals are the ones causing detriment to our society.’

Kelly agreed with Carlson, adding that ‘everything Michelle says about her husband is negative.’

‘I almost never say negative things about Doug,’ Kelly said. ‘He’s not perfect but when I think about him, I don’t immediately go to whatever is negative. I go to what’s positive and what I love about him.’

Michelle has been open about her marriage struggles throughout the years and particularly on her new podcast, IMO (In my Opinion), which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson. 

The Obamas have been married for 32 years but have faced ongoing rumors about their marriage status over the last few months.

Michelle has shared that the former president was broke when they met and that she had to convinced to support his bid for the White House. 

‘Being married to the president of the United States [is a] thing that that none of us kind of banked on. We knew Barack was smart and ambitious, but, you know…’ she said. 

She has also shared personal grievances with her husband, like his former impunctuality and lack of deep conversations with his golf friends. 

Earlier this month, Michelle addressed the rumors directly on an episode of actress Sophia Bush’s podcast.

She said her decision to skip President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, and President Donald Trump’s inauguration, were simply decisions she made for herself.

Her absence at both high-profile political events stoked divorce rumors, as did President Obama’s admission last week that he was in a ‘deep deficit’ with his wife.

‘That’s the thing that we as women, I think we struggle with disappointing people. I mean, so much so that this year people were, you know, they couldn’t even fathom that I was making a choice for myself that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing,’ Obama said in the podcast episode, released Tuesday.

‘That this couldn’t be a grown woman just making a set of decisions for herself, right?’ she continued.

Michelle added: ‘That’s what society does to us.’

‘We start actually, finally going, “What am I doing? Who am I doing this for?” And if it doesn’t fit into the sort of stereotype of what people think we should do, then it gets labeled as something negative and horrible.’

Amid the speculation, the Obamas have been seen going out to dinner twice in DC over the last month.

Michelle also recently addressed those who have called her ‘angry’ in the past as she discussed the ‘angry black woman’ trope.

‘The first label they put on us as Black women is that we are angry,’ she said earlier this month. ‘And the irony is, like, yeah. I am probably less light than many of my white female friends.’

She added of the way the media has portrayed her: ‘The first thing that some female journalist said is that I emasculating him just by sort of trying to tell the truth about what my life was, right?’
