Michelle Obama ignored people like Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), and Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) when she said that Republican members of Congress are “all men, all white.” And she greatly minimized them, and all the other minority and/or female members of the GOP caucus, when she said, “On the other side… some women, some people of color.” But she didn’t even stop there; the former first lady implied that this dynamic of right-wingers being only white men was a paradigm throughout the U.S. and throughout many industries.
IShe mused, “On one side of the room it’s literally gray and white, literally, that’s the color palette on one side of the room. On the other side of the room, there are yellows and blues and whites and greens.” Where are the green and blue people she’s highlighting???
