In a recent episode of Megyn Kelly’s podcast, conservative commentator Tucker Carlson launched a scathing critique of former First Lady Michelle Obama, suggesting she harbors deep resentment toward her husband, former President Barack Obama. Carlson described Michelle as “privileged and self-obsessed,” labeling her a “freakshow” and accusing her of prioritizing personal accolades over her marriage. He argued that her demeanor reflects broader issues in the Obamas’ relationship, stating, “She really dislikes her husband. Super obvious.”
Carlson further claimed that Michelle’s life serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of focusing on one’s marriage, contrasting her alleged dissatisfaction with his own 33-year marriage, which he portrayed as a model of tranquility and stability.
Megyn Kelly echoed these sentiments, criticizing Michelle for her perceived negativity about her upbringing and the United States. She likened Michelle’s tone to someone who has faced systemic injustice, despite her privileged status. The duo also mocked Michelle for referring to herself in the third person during a discussion about her security detail, with Kelly questioning, “Who talks about themselves that way? Even if you are Michelle Obama.”
These comments come amid ongoing speculation about the state of the Obamas’ marriage, fueled by Michelle’s candid remarks on the challenges of balancing family life with Barack’s political career. Despite public appearances aimed at countering such rumors, including a recent date night in Washington, D.C., the couple continues to face scrutiny.
Carlson’s latest remarks add to a history of contentious statements about Michelle Obama, including past suggestions that she might run for president and critiques of her public speeches.
