Former First Lady Michelle Obama warned liberals against labeling Trump supporters as racist, urging them to understand that the economic pain and desperation are driving many working-class Americans.
Speaking on the Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso's podcast, she discussed the shifting motivations of the electorate and how a focus on basic survival influences voting behavior.
The former First Lady stated in detail how liberals should not automatically write off Trump voters. She noted that you cannot just pigeonhole them and say you just don't care and you are racist or whatever you are thinking at that moment in time.
Mrs. Obama also highlighted how many people supported the current administration, previously voting for her husband twice. For those people, the vote does represent a desire for change, she continued.
