Watch Michelle Obama’s Powerful Speech On Donald Trump’s Treatment Of Women.

First lady Michelle Obama delivered an emotional speech Thursday responding to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s treatment of women.

Obama said the recently released audio recording of Trump bragging about sexual assault “has shaken me to my core” in remarks at a New Hampshire campaign rally for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

The first lady offered a full-throated takedown of Trump, calling his words and actions “cruel” and “frightening.”

“Strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful,” Obama said.
