WASHINGTON - Former first lady Michelle Obama launched a scathing attack on President Donald Trump on the first night of the Democratic National Convention on Monday , calling him the “wrong president” for the country and urging Americans to elect Mr Joe Biden in November to end the chaos created by Mr Trump’s presidency.
She added: “So if you take one thing from my words tonight, it is this: if you think things cannot possibly get worse, trust me, they can; and they will if we don’t make a change in this election. “Joe Biden will end the hate and division Trump has created. He will stop the demonisation of immigrants, the coddling of white nationalists, the racist dog whistling, the religious bigotry and the ugly attacks on women,” said Mr Sanders, a US senator and Mr Biden’s top primary rival.
“My dad was a healthy 65-year-old. His only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life,” she said. “When I cast my vote for Joe Biden, I will do it for my Dad.” “So, it’s up to us to carry on the fight for justice. Our actions will be their legacies,” Mr Floyd said.
Standing literally at a fork in a road, he called Mr Biden “a man who can help us see the humanity in each other”.
