Michelle Obama blamed nonvoters, not Republicans, for President Trump's election in 2016.
In her soon-to-be-released Netflix documentary, Becoming, the former first lady opened up about her frustration with those who didn't vote in the 2016 election. She claimed it was the fault of apathetic citizens that Trump won in 2016 and that President Obama didn't have a Democratic majority in the House and Senate when he was in the White House.
"So, the day I left the White House, and I write about how painful it was to sit on that [inauguration] stage," Obama explained. "A lot of our folks didn’t vote. It was almost like a slap in the face.”
She continued, "I understand the people who voted for Trump. The people who didn’t vote at all, the young people, the women, that’s when you think, man, people think this is a game."
Obama noted that the lack of turnout for Hillary Clinton in 2016 had down-ballot effects and lamented poor midterm election turnout while her husband was in office.
"It wasn’t just in this election," she explained. "Every midterm. Every time Barack didn’t get the Congress he needed, that was because our folks didn’t show up. After all that work, they just couldn’t be bothered to vote at all. That’s my trauma.”

I so wish those two would just SHUTUP and GO AWAY
they need to go away to jail for all I care
And take the Clintons with them!
all of the Obama administration should on trial right now and be put to jail.
Maybe we could allure them into a nice seaside house on the condition that they shut up and go away.
that's not accomplishment at all.
There are just so many times that "Dead People and New Borns" can vote before people become suspicious Michelle! Even Democrats!

Simply put, Michelle Obama can simply go to hell.
He probably will.
Oh, cry me a river. Take a walk, Moochelle; we're tired of you.
