So I’m sure it’s no surprise to hear a Fox News host have something to say about it. Two million people have seen Jesse Watters expresses his thoughts on Obama’s decision.

“Why are Barack and Michelle on such different sides?” he asked.

“Barack can’t convince his wife to do her duty and attend the inauguration?” he asked.

“BUT she’s an independent woman and she can do what she wants I guess.”

The internet immediately pointed out the hypocrisy of Jesse’s questionnaire. “No Trump attended Biden’s inauguration. What’s wrong with maga memory?” asked this person.

“Trump considers himself a disruptor, brazenly walked out of the WH and chose not to attend Biden’s inauguration. I would consider Michelle a polite disruptor with such advance notice of non-attendance…” this person said.

Many people have pointed out that it is not necessarily Michelle Obama’s “duty” to attend the inauguration. “Barack Obama is a former president. He has to participate despite his personal feelings! Michelle is a private citizen and is not bound by such restrictions!”

“Michelle Obama doesn’t have to do anything but stay true to Michelle Obama,” this person declared.

“Trump does not owe the presence of people he openly despises. This is America, no one owes him allegiance,” this person said.

“No, he respects her decisions. He respects her choices. Acknowledge that she is a strong individual with her own opinions and as mentioned before, he wouldn’t change her for anything. @BarackObama” this person said.

And finally, this person had their own question about the inauguration guest list: “Will Melania be there?”

Celebrities like Carrie Underwood, The Village People and Elon Musk have it all confirmed they will be present.
