I do not hold Mrs. Obama accountable for opting out of attending Trump's second inauguration. In fact I support her decision. I anticipate, however, that the GOP and other right-wing media outlets will likely exploit this situation to the fullest extent possible. This would underscore their hypocrisy, given their lack of criticism when Trump and his entire family chose not to attend Biden's inauguration.
