CNN's Kate Bennett said she was a bit taken aback by the reaction, noting that she couldn't recall another event where the First Lady have been "more negatively received."
Hamill, who hasn't shied away from mocking the Trump administration on Twitter, didn't miss a beat.
He trolled the "Be Best" campaign with a punny new nickname: #BooBest.

They may make everyone mad with their "Ok boomers" and their TikToks, but you gotta hand it to this generation of kids.
Perhaps our future is in good hands.

In response to the negative reaction, the First Lady told the New York Times:
"We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion. I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse."
