The 61-year-old former first lady appeared on a new podcast called “On Purpose” hosted by Jay Shetty where she shared her opinions, which many have criticized as hypocritical. Instead of addressing issues like crimes committed by illegal immigrants, violence in urban areas, or the economic challenges faced by many due to inflation under the Biden administration, Obama focused on different topics during the interview.
No, the plight of illegal immigrants was the #1 cause of her anxiety:
‘In this current climate, for me it’s what’s happening to immigrants. It’s not the fear for myself anymore.
‘I drive around in a four-car motorcade with a police escort. I’m Michelle Obama.[Egotistical much, Mrs. O?]
‘I do still worry about my daughters in the world, even though they are somewhat recognizable.’
Commenters were quick to point out her husband’s record:
Michelle Obama says she has trouble sleeping at night because of Trump’s deportations.
