"Fear is not, it's not a proper motivator. Hope wins out," Michelle Obama said Thursday.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama blasted Eric Holder and Hillary Clinton for their recent politically charged comments during an interview on NBC’s “Today Show” Thursday, saying that “fear is not a proper motivator.”
NBC’s Savannah Guthrie asked Michelle Obama what she thought about Holder’s recent remarks in which he said, “We kick them,” when Republicans “go low.” Guthrie also brought up Clinton saying Democrats can’t be civil with Republicans.
“Fear is not, it’s not a proper motivator. Hope wins out,” Obama said. “And if you think about how you want your kids to be raised, how you want them to think about life and their opportunities, do you want them afraid of their neighbors? Do you want them angry? Do you want them vengeful?”
“We want them to grow up with promise and hope. And we can’t model something different if we want them to be better than that,” Obama added.
