Michelle Obama has done it again.
The former first lady – or as Twitter likes to call her, the #ForeverFirstLady – delivered a powerful speech at the Democratic National Convention on Monday night, criticizing President Trump and urging Americans to vote for former Vice President Joe Biden “like our lives hinget. ”
Her dynamic remarks drew high and direct praise on social media from various Hollywood figures, including Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Ellen Pompeo, Octavia Spencer, Mark Ruffalo, Bette Midler, Josh Gad, Yvette Nicole Brown, Mandy Moore, Yara Shahidi and Obama’s man, former President Barack Obama.
“@MichelleObama speaks truth to power,” Oscar winner Davis wrote on Instagram. “Donald Trump is not on the job – but @JoeBiden is.”
‘Little Fires Everywhere’ actress Washington, who recently scored an Emmy nomination in 2020, also gave a shout-out to Monday’s moderator, actress Eva Longoria, who later shared Obama’s speech and thanked her for her words. Washington will emcee the third night of the DNC on Wednesday.
“Wow,” Washington wrote. ‘What a mighty night! SO inspiring. God bless you @MichelleObama. Thanks @EvaLongoria for walking through us! “
Spencer, who recorded a 2020 Emmy nomination for “Self Made,” was “hopeful” after Obama’s speech, which also left “This Is Us” actress speechless.
“No words,” Moore tweeted. “@MichelleObama is magnetic. #Myforeverfirstlady.”
Barack Obama, who will appear in Congress on Wednesday, sent out his wife’s feelings and encouraged 121.6 million Twitter followers to “vote early.”
‘Like Michelle said, we have to do everything to choose @JoeBiden en @KamalaHarris, ”He wrote. “Make sure you have a plan to vote. … and tell everyone you know to register to vote at http://iwillvote.com. ”
