Former first lady Michelle Obama won’t attend President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, though former President Barack Obama will be there, the Obama’s office said in a statement. No reason was given.

Along with former First Lady Michelle Obama, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will not attend Donald Trump's second inauguration on Monday. Published reports indicate that Chinese President Xi Jinping will send an envoy in his place, and that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban plans on skipping Trump's second inauguration.

Michelle Obama is not going to the Trump inauguration because she is not a phony — great for her. I hope we take this as a lesson on the proper way to resist.
