Quote of the Day
“We know folks are going to do everything they can to distort her truth,” Mrs. Obama said of Ms. Harris. “My husband and I sadly know a little something about this. For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hard-working, highly educated, successful people who happened to be Black.”
She added a reference to a phrase he used about employment taken by illegal immigrants: “I want to know,” she said, “who’s going to tell him, who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those ‘Black jobs’?”
