Fox host accuses Michelle Obama of 'race-baiting'
Fox host Greg Gutfeld accused the former first lady of "race-baiting" in her speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
Gutfeld said Michelle Obama effectively said Donald Trump "never liked them because they were Black" during her speech to delegates on Tuesday night.

Obama's actual comment was, “For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us. See, his limited, narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who happen to be Black."
She went on to joke that Trump was trying to get himself one of those "Black jobs" by trying to retake the position that Barack Obama held. It was a reference to a Trump comment during a June rally in which he said immigrants were "taking Black jobs" — prompting questions of what exactly a "Black job" is.
Gutfeld said that the accusations are race-baiting and "America is tired of that. There are a lot of other things you can do than call people racist, which is based on mind-reading, which no Democratic candidate is capable of because they can't even read their own mind."
Trump rose to fame while espousing "birtherism." a theory that Barack Obama was born outside of the U.S. and was ineligible to become president.
Gutfeld added a claim that Barack Obama could only attack Trump on "crowd size" and "nicknames" during his speech, saying he didn't bring up anything about Trump policies.
