(DCWatchdog.com) – In a repugnant display of leftist partisanship, former First Lady Michelle Obama has chosen not to attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, a move sparking further debate on the role of past presidential families in current political affairs.

See the tweet below!

Despite her influential position as a former First Lady, Michelle Obama’s absence marks a statement about the direction America’s politics have taken.

The announcement came as a surprise to some.

Michelle Obama attended Trump’s first inauguration in 2017, though she later described the experience as contrary to her values due to a lack of diversity.

This time, she’s decided to sit it out altogether, not providing a public reason for her absence, CNN reports.

Her decision not to attend follows her recent absence from former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral, which she missed due to an “extended holiday vacation” in Hawaii.

Coincidentally, Barack Obama attended both the funeral and plans to be present at the upcoming inauguration, keeping the tradition of witness to the peaceful transfer of power.

“Former President Barack Obama is confirmed to attend the 60th Inaugural Ceremonies. Former first lady Michelle Obama will not attend the upcoming inauguration,” stated the Office of Barack and Michelle Obama.

While she has consistently criticized Trump over the years, her absence can be perceived as a continuation of her stance against his policies, which she described as “opposite of what we represented.”

She has been vocal in the past, criticizing Trump’s wealth display and history of racist and sexist remarks, The New York Post points out in a report.

It notes that Donald and Melania Trump did not attend Joe Biden’s inauguration in 2021, further emphasizing the deep political divisions.

The transition periods have been fraught with tension, and Michelle Obama’s decision not to attend may well reflect these divisions.

These political and social rifts underline the ongoing conversations about unity and division within the United States.

The evolving role of former First Families continues to play a crucial part as the political landscape shifts, raising questions about decorum and the power of subtle protest.
