Right-wing media lash out at Michelle Obama's DNC speech

On the first day of the 2020 Democratic National Convention, former first lady Michelle Obama spoke at length about the deaths and economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, decried "our leaders labeling fellow citizens enemies of the state while emboldening torch-bearing white supremacists,” and claimed that President Donald Trump “is clearly in over his head.”
