As reported by IBT.com, Michelle Obama heavily criticized Donald Trump over a tape in which the GOP nominee appeared to brag about his prowess at sexual assaulting women.
It "has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted," the FLOTUS remarked in a Hillary Clinton rally in New Hampshire.
"In this election we have a candidate for president of the United States, who in the course of his lifetime, in the course of this campaign, has said things about women that are so shocking, so demeaning, that I simply will not repeat anything here today," Obama said. "And last week, we saw this candidate actually bragging about sexually assaulting women. And I can't believe that I'm saying that. A candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women. I have to tell you I can't stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn't have predicted."
Twitter reacted positively to the First Lady's remarks. Here is a sampling of the most poignant.
