Michelle and Barack Obama reached out yesterday and congratulated President-elect Joe Biden and Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris. They both published their thoughts on social media. The difference in the tone of the two messages was impossible to miss.
Barack Obama posted a fairly standard congratulatory message. Obama chose Biden as his running mate, after all. Obama is said to have encouraged Kamala Harris to run for president herself. So, a tweet of nice words wasn’t surprising. He did go the route of saying that our democracy is at risk but Obama’s hyperbole is not out of the ordinary.

Michelle Obama’s message was very different. In order to deliver her kudos to the Democrat ticket and call for unity, she trashed Republican voters. She began by congratulating “my friend Joe Biden” and “our first Black and Indian-American woman Vice President” and said they “are headed to restore some dignity, competence, and heart at the White House.” That was just the first sentence. Then she went on to call for unity because nothing says unity more than trashing the previous administration, right?
