On Sunday, Michelle Obama spoke at a rally in Las Vegas encouraging Americans to vote. Some of her speech didn't sit well with a certain political commentator, but Kathy Griffin had Michelle's back.


Michelle Obama spoke to the attendees of Sunday's first-ever When We All Vote rally, rousing them to get out and vote even if circumstances seem hopeless.

She said,

"Our vote matters. It always does. But only if we use that vote."

She continued along that same line by admitting that she, too, was "sick of all the chaos and nastiness of our politics". She continued to empathize with listeners, but also challenged them to take action instead of choosing complacency.

"But here's the problem. While some folks are frustrated and tuned out and staying home on Election Day, trust me, other folks are showing up. Democracy continues with or without you."

The former First Lady went on to explain what the crowd needed to do.

"Here's what we have to do. If we want qualified people that we trust, then people have to vote. Because you can't vote some of the time and then sit out. You know, we saw that happen. We experienced that. But we had a great president."

Approximately 23 minutes into Michelle's speech someone yelled,

"Run for president!"

Their interjection spurred the "longest and loudest cheers of the night" according to the Washington Post, despite the initiative officially being nonpartisan.

However, Mrs. Obama's last line, "But we had a great president," caused notoriously conservative political commentator, Tomi Lahren, to attempt to tear the former FLOTUS down.

Ms. Lahren should have known better than to attack Michelle Obama, but regardless she tweeted this.

Again, Lahren should have known better because in turn, comedian Kathy Griffin eviscerated her.

Twitter is living for Griffin's epic comeback.












Thank you, Ms. Griffin, for saying what we all wanted to.

Osment, who began acting at age five, is one of a rare breed in Hollywood—a child star turned successful adult actor. It's a journey many kids have infamously stumbled on, but that Jordan has also successfully navigated perhaps in part thanks to Osment.

Texas GOP's Bizarre Text Warning Voters About 'Weirdo Furry Socialists' Sparks Mockery

A Texas political action committee sparked online mockery after multiple people independently told the San Antonio Current they received a text message urging Texans to vote Republican to keep so-called "furry Socialists" from choosing their leaders.

The message was sent Saturday alongside a photo purportedly showing a man wearing a fox-tail accessory as he left a polling location in Collin County. The message identified its sender as Texans for Common Sense, a political action committee funded entirely by Texans United for a Conservative Majority PAC, a far-right organization backed by West Texas oil billionaire Tim Dunn.
