Former First Lady Michelle Obama is discussing America’s supposed racism and complaining about her time in the White House.

During an upcoming special, Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts reads quotes from Obama’s new book, “The Look,” which, in part, opines about the scrutiny Obama says she felt from white people in America.

“You said, ‘We were all too aware that as the first black couple, we couldn’t afford any missteps,'” Roberts read. “And you also say, ‘As a black woman, I was under a particularly white hot glare.'”

“Did you feel that?” Roberts asked Obama.

“For sure,” she answered.

“You can’t afford to get anything wrong, because you didn’t — at least until the country came to know us — we didn’t get the grace that I think some other families have gotten,” the former first lady continued.

Radio host Buck Sexton commented on the remarks, “Starting to feel like maybe Michelle Obama is a bitter malcontent addicted to complaining about her incredibly privileged life.”

Obama has talked about her time in the White House previously, calling it isolating and complaining that the family had to pay for their food and travel. The Obamas are reportedly worth $70 million.

“Much is not covered,” Obama said earlier this year. “You’re paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat … you’re not paying for housing and the staff in it … but everything, even travel, if you’re not traveling with the president, if you’re kids are coming on a Bright Star, which is the first lady’s plane, we had to pay for their travel to be on the plane.”

Obama has focused much on race. Just days ago, she complained about black women having to spend “thousands of hours” and lots of money on their hair if they try to straighten in, instead of wearing it natural and curly.

The former first lady also famously suggested in 2008 that it was the first time she was proud of her country as an adult woman when the nation voted for her husband during the Democrat presidential primaries.

“But what we’ve learned over this year is that hope is making a comeback,” she said at the time. “It is making a comeback and let me tell you something: For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.”

“And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change,” Obama continued. “And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction and just not feeling so alone in my frustration and disappointment. I’ve seen people who are hungry to be unified around some basic common issues and it’s made me proud.”

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) gave a press conference on Wednesday in conjunction with a massive document dump relating to a probe — undertaken by former President Joe Biden’s Justice Department — code-named Arctic Frost.

Arctic Frost, which would ultimately grow into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the 2020 presidential election, included nearly 200 subpoenas aimed at Republicans in Congress and Trump allies outside of Capitol Hill — from high-dollar donors and super-PACs to Mike Lindell’s MyPillow. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) described the slew of subpoenas as “nothing short of a Biden administration enemies list.”

“Arctic Frost was the vehicle by which partisan FBI agents and DOJ prosecutors could improperly investigate the entire Republican political apparatus,” Grassley said when he made the list public. “Contrary to what Smith has said publicly, this was clearly a fishing expedition.”

Grassley also revealed a few days earlier that the authorization for Arctic Frost had come from the top of the Biden Administration.

“Just received this doc frm DOJ Proof that Biden Atty General Merrick Garland + Deputy Atty General Lisa Monaco + FBI Dir Chris Wray all PERSONALLY APPROVED opening Arctic Frost,” Grassley posted the letter along with a brief comment. “This investigation unleashed unchecked govt power at the highest levels.”

The Federalist’s Sean Davis shared a list of organizations whose bank records had been subpoenaed: “The corrupt Biden FBI subpoenaed the bank records, donor lists, and emails of nearly every major conservative organization and leader in the country, including Donald Trump’s campaign, the RNC, Conservative Partnership Institute, Save America PAC, America First Policy Institute, and even MyPillow.”

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) mentioned the operation during a recent podcast, saying that when he’d learned that Verizon had turned over cellphone data on a number of his colleagues, he’d initially felt left out that he’d not been included on the list. It was only later that he’d learned that his name was only excluded because his wireless carrier, AT&T, had effectively told the FBI to “go jump in a lake.”

Grassley later revealed that the subpoenas had also included a landline in Cruz’s Senate office.

Sen. Chuck Grassley just revealed that Jack Smith sent a subpoena to Verizon to tap my Senate office phone.

This comes after learning that nearly 20% of Senate Republicans’ cellphones, including mine, were also subpoenaed.

In addition to issuing the subpoena for Cruz’s wireless phone, which he abandoned after being challenged by AT&T, the same Judge James E. Boasberg who has tangled repeatedly with Trump over illegal alien deportations issued a second order.

“Judge Boasberg issued an order to AT&T and signed that order prohibiting AT&T from informing me of this subpoena for at least one year,” Cruz explained. “And Judge Boasberg gave the basis for that order, and I’m going to quote from the order Judge Boasberg signed: ‘The court finds reasonable grounds to believe that such disclosure will result in destruction of, or tampering with evidence, intimidation of potential witnesses, and serious jeopardy to the investigation.'”

The Texas Senator went on to declare that Boasberg had “precisely zero evidence to conclude that I am likely to destroy or tamper with evidence or to intimidate potential witnesses. Zero evidentiary basis for that. This order is an abuse of power. This order is a weaponized legal system.”

That order, according to Davis, is also a violation of federal law.

It is a violation of federal law (2 U.S.C. 6628) to prevent data carriers from informing the Senate of collection of its data. Boasberg wrote an illegal order to ban the Senate from being informed, because that same law REQUIRES federal courts to quash the data collection upon a… https://t.co/RCMkV71gpJ pic.twitter.com/O3sNNMaSCp

“Arctic Frost was Joe Biden’s Watergate,” Cruz added. “Merrick Garland was a fundamentally corrupt Attorney General, Jack Smith was a fundamentally corrupt prosecutor. This was a political enemies list from the beginning: 197 subpoenas for 430 Republican entities and individuals. That is an absolute and egregious abuse of power.”

“Twenty percent of the Republicans in the United States Senate were the target of this fishing expedition,” Cruz continued.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) rounded out the mid-week press conference with the assertion that Arctic Frost would never have gotten off the ground if Trump had not declared his intention to return to the campaign trail in 2024.

“So what I want to explain to the people of the country is that within several days of him announcing, ‘I’m to seek the White House again,’ an avalanche began to form. And I really do believe that none of this would’ve been happening if Trump had set out the 2024 cycle,” Graham said. “But once he announced, I’ll have my own chart one day, we’ll show you what happened, and when it happened. Within about eight months of announcing, he had 91 felony charges against him in Georgia in New York and other places.”

“So here’s what I think that when he said he wanted to have a political comeback, it triggered the Democratic machine to destroy him before he could ever get started. And in their effort to destroy him, there were no boundaries,” Graham continued. “The goal was to stop Trump, and to look at anything and everything that could stop Trump and ignore the Constitution, and a lot of other things … I don’t think the 2020 election bothered anybody until Trump decided to run in 2024 legally.”

“You deserve to know what YOUR GOVT was doing in the dark Without whistleblowers Arctic Frost would hv stayed in the shadows Now we follow the facts & take action to make sure this govt weaponization NEVER happens again,” Grassley concluded.
