People who make Michelle Obama comments tell on themselves

I remember a wrestler named Val Venis from the Attitude Era, was a big WCW/WWF/E fan growing up. He was controversial, popular, nothing special, anyway:

Venis, whose real name is Sean Morley, responded on social media to a video clip that purported to show former President Barack Obama referring to his wife as “Michael” during a past public appearance. Morley used the video to support the claim, writing, "Barack Obama is married to a man."

According to a report by eWrestlingNews, Morley offered no evidence for the assertion, which has been repeatedly disproven by fact-checkers over several years.

I hope she just rolls her eyes, ignores them and keeps moving on. It’s not her job to prove she’s a woman, it’s their job to prove she’s a man, and since they can’t, maybe they should kick rocks. And even if she did prove she was a woman, it would honestly be a waste of time and energy because the cult lives in their own reality and no evidence will ever suffice for them.

You don’t like her politics? Whatever.

You don’t like her as a person? Whatever.

But they don’t stop there, do they? I remember the ape in heels comment posted by some bigot on social media. I worked at a public works once and we had lunch and it said on the news if Hillary won, she’d nominate Michelle Obama to her cabinet, prompting someone to exclaim, ‘What the (expletive) does that monkey know about anything?’

I don’t know, I’m guessing somebody who was their high school salutatorian and has degrees from Princeton and Harvard might have same smarts to them. That’s just me, though.

I feel no need to attack the porn model, as she’s pretty useless/worthless in the title, but considering all the damage the felon has done from the Oval Office, maybe that’s not a bad thing that she does nothing.

A black family lived in the White House. We had a black president. We had a black First Lady - and nearly 10 years after they left, that’s still too much for a lot of people, who show just how small they really are.
