She’s, intentionally or not (though I suspect the former), doing the political equivalent of saying that inject bleach was actually a perfectly safe and effective treatment method for COVID.
She wasn’t even an employee of the US government, let alone President at the time. It’s not even close to the same.
So was it fine for Charlie Kirk to say hydroxychloroquine was 100% effective in treating COVID? Because that’s the equivalence I’m making here: Charlie Kirk claiming hydroxychloroquine treated COVID and vaccines are ineffective in 2020 == Michelle Obama claiming Harris and Hillary lost because of their gender in 2025. Besides, again she’s the country’s most popular Democrat; even if she doesn’t have a formal role her voice counts for something. I’m not saying she should lead the charge against fascism, but the least she could do is not say dumb shit.

I didn’t say it was fine, it’s just orders of magnitude less consequential.
Sure, I never said otherwise so I’m not sure how that’s relevant to my point.
