In reply to the discussion: Michelle Obama won't comment on Biden apology, holds off on endorsement [View all]bluewater
(5,420 posts)29. Want to see Michelle's quotes again? Okie Dokie
"The former first lady also said her and her husband would not be endorsing any candidate from the crowded field, saying they would support whomever wins the primary."
"Barack and I are going to support whoever wins the primary, so ... our primary focus is letting the primary process play out, because it's very early," she said. "I mean, that's one of the things that we learned in the campaign. It is early; it's like trying to figure out who's winning the World Series on the first seven games. I mean that's where we are right now, it is so early." ?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

And this is the so-called "liberal media." The blatantly fascist media just lies.

I'm not Biden-sensitive (my 4th choice at best), I just think it's an ambiguously written headline,

It's not 100% correct unless Michelle had been planning to announce an endorsement.

No, it actually isn't. The concept is called conflation, and what it looks like
