Michelle Obama Attacked, Questioned For Allegedly Rehabilitating Ex-POTUS George Bush

Michelle Obama was attacked by some Twitter users after she defended her friendship with ex-president George Bush.

In an interview with “Today”, the former first lady was bold to speak about her friendship with former president George Bush. Michelle said that she and Bush share the same values but disagree on policy.

However, some were quick to judge the ex-FLOTUS for maintaining her connection with the controversial politician. Some even accused her of rehabilitating a war criminal, referring to Bush.

Leela Daou, an activist and environmentalist, took to Twitter and wrote, “Really?? You share the values of a man who lied to start a war that destroyed the lives of millions?”

A number commented on Daou’s post, with one saying that Michelle and Bush share the same values for “money and power.” Marie Fonseca added that Michelle and Bush agree on “bombing humans all over the world to increase profits for the military industrial complex.” She added that the Bush family and the Obamas “share their love for killing the poor.”

Judd Legum, an American journalist, admitted that he was confounded with Michelle’s revelation. He described Bush as one of the “worst and most destructive presidents.”

Legum pointed out how Bush started the Iraq war that killed hundreds of thousands of people and how it wasted trillions of dollars. He then questioned how those incidents reflected Bush’s values after Michelle said that they share the same morals.

Meanwhile, some online users defended Michelle. For them, the ex-FLOTUS’ statement was taken out of context because when she said that they share the same values, Michelle was referring to their perspective on family. In her statement, Michelle said they disagree on policy but not on “humanity,” “love and compassion.”

One said that no one read the actual article. Another said that he was disappointed with Judd because he became part of the “faux outrage machine.”
