Michelle Obama reprised her role as mom of America briefly, and she is not at all impressed with the new normal emerging on the Left.
The former first lady used an interview with NBC’s Savannah Guthrie to talk some sense into Democrats. Asked whether her old campaign slogan — “when they go low, we go high” — still applied, Obama responded “absolutely.”
Incivility is increasingly coming into vogue. Recently, Obama alum and former Attorney General Eric Holder had the audacity to appropriate that verbiage. Campaigning in Georgia, Holder told a crowd that “Michelle always says, 'When they go low, we go high.' No. No. When they go low, we kick them.” Apparently, violence and hostility is cool now that the top cop is out of office and probing a potential presidential bid in 2020.
Holder isn’t alone. The Left loves Rep. Maxine Waters, the California Democrat, for first endorsing the mob. And then Hillary Clinton, the former presidential candidate, recently said civility was an impossibility when dealing with “a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for.”
Obama still has some sense. And if the Right has any, they will hold her up now as the voice of Democrats' better angels. A contingent of the Democrat establishment is flirting with an ugly kind of national divorce that at least one Republican senator worries will get someone killed, like it already almost did last year.
