Former First Lady Michelle Obama won’t be attending President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 20., her office said.
Her office did not provide a reason for why she will skip the inauguration.
"Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former First Lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration," the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama said in a statement
Michelle Obama also missed former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral service at the Washington National Cathedral last week. CNN reported that she had a scheduling conflict and was in Hawaii on an extended family vacation.
TVNL Comment: Michelle Obama is a woman of integrity. There is no doubt that her 'scheduling conflict' was a statement of that integrity. She knows that Donald Trump originated the Birther movement, attacking her husband, and by extension her family. Her absence from the inauguration says a lot.
