From Fox News: Michelle Obama wore a nearly $3,000 pantsuit to the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago while touting to attendees that her parents were “suspicious” of the wealthy.
The former first lady began her DNC speech on Tuesday by saying the last time she was in her hometown of Chicago was to memorialize her mother, the woman “who showed me the meaning of hard work and humility and decency” and “who set my moral compass high and showed me the power of my own voice.”
“She and my father didn’t aspire to be wealthy. In fact, they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed,” Obama said. “They understood that it wasn’t enough for their kids to thrive if everyone else around us was drowning. So my mother volunteered at the local school.”
All the while, she was wearing a black pantsuit jacket that is available for pre-order online by the New York fashion designer Monse for $1,690. Obama paired the jacket with matching trousers listed for $890.
Podcast host Clay Travis shared a video clip of Obama’s comments, and wrote, “Michelle Obama says her parents were suspicious of people who took more than they need. The Obama’s have three 10 million+ houses: DC, Martha’s Vineyard & Hawaii. I don’t begrudge multiple homes or wealth, but the hypocrisy here is staggering.”

Last night @MichelleObama it’s disgusting!
Who needs pants when you’re sporting a $3000 look? Obama’s going for the ‘I just robbed a high-end boutique’ vibe! pic.twitter.com/fB5Sc0uWzQ— Tania M Banks (@Taniabanks24) August 21, 2024
