First Lady Michelle Obama to Colbert: ‘No Sympathy’ for Melania Trump

The first lady and the ‘Late Show’ host sat down on Tuesday to talk about the third Mrs. Trump copying her DNC speech and much, much more.

The last time First Lady Michelle Obama appeared on late-night TV it was to sing Carpool Karaoke with James Corden and Missy Elliott. While it was unlikely that she would top that on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week, she did hang out with the host in a blanket fort.

“Hey, Michelle, do you think fruits and vegetables have feelings?” Colbert asked the first lady. “Gosh, I hope not, I eat way too many of them,” she replied.

When she handed him a baby carrot, Colbert told her that “when you eat too many carrots you turn orange.” And “if you turn really orange, you have to start saying crazy things and run for president.” The satire was hardly as cutting as his segment on birtherism from the night before...............................

With only a few more months in the White House, she's starting to smell freedom. She had to retreat way into the background while Obama was president but with her daughters nearly grown and political pressure about to be removed, she's starting to kick over the traces and enjoy her own life.

She's educated, intelligent, articulate, and poised. I look forward to seeing more of her.
