Michelle Obama Won't Back Down From Criticizing Trump
The first lady told People that just because she and her husband are aiding in the transition effort doesn't mean she takes back anything she said about Trump during the election.

Michelle Obama is going to keep fighting Donald Trump. The first lady sat down with People to “say goodbye” to the White House, as the magazine’s cover story reads, and the 52-year-old said she won’t back down from the searing criticisms of the president-elect she made on the campaign trail for Hillary Clinton.
“Anything that I felt about the election I said and I stand by,” Obama said, adding, “Once you do what you can do, then the rest is easy. It was in the hands of the American people.”
The first lady was one of Trump’s most outspoken and persistent critics throughout the 2016 campaign, taking the Republican to task for his hot-headed temperament, refusal to say whether he would concede the election if Clinton won the electoral vote, and leaked audio tapes in which he claimed that it’s OK if you sexually assault women as long as you’re famous.
“We need an adult in the White House,” Obama said of the billionaire businessman in September, claiming that he ran a campaign based on “name-calling.” “When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can't just pop off or lash out irrationally,” she said.
She cited his role in the birther moment, a campaign that falsely claimed that President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S.
“If a candidate is erratic and threatening,” she continued, “if a candidate traffics in prejudice, fear and lies on the campaign trail, if a candidate thinks that not paying taxes makes you smart or that it's good business when people lose their homes, if a candidate regularly and flippantly makes cruel and insulting comments about women — about how we look, how we act — well, sadly, that's who that candidate really is.”
