Former first lady Michelle Obama appeared to make a veiled swipe at current President Trump while comparing him to her husband, former President Barack Obama.
What did she say?
"Many of the young people today, they only know Barack Obama as their president and what that standard felt like and what kind of messages were being talked about," she said. "They grew up only under hope and possibility and options and opportunity and creating more space."
"I think they will feel some of what's happening now as intrinsically not what they were taught," she added, in what some think was a veiled reference to Trump's tenure.
"They are more open, in ways. I think they are less tolerant of obvious inequities," she said of the younger generation of Americans.
"I think that this generation will look at what is happening now in the world and they will say, 'This doesn't feel right because this wasn't what I was taught,'" she concluded.
Where did she say this?
The former first lady spoke to the Pennsylvania Conference for Women in Philadelphia Tuesday when she made the comments.
