Michelle Obama tells Oprah Winfrey she has open door for Melania Trump

Tonight, CBS and OWN are airing a new interview that is one of the last major ones for Michelle Obama during her time as First Lady, and while that may be a little bit different from some of the other festive programming that is out there, we figure that there are some interesting quotes from it that you may still find to be of interest.

For example, the quote below (via Entertainment Weekly) gives you a little bit more insight when it comes to how she feels at the moment about Melania Trump entering office, and also what she will do in order to be there for her:

“My offer to Melania was… you really don’t know what you don’t know until you’re here. The door is open, as I’ve told her, and as Laura Bush told me, and as other first ladies told me … I’m not new in this ‘going high’ thing. I’m modeling what was done for me by the Bushes. Laura Bush was nothing but gracious and helpful, and her team was right there for my team all throughout this entire eight-year process.”

This interview, based on what is out there about it so far, is really more or less what you would expect given the people involved. Of course, Michelle Obama is going to be gracious, and there’s no real need or gain that is going to come out of her going out there and slinging mud at anyone. Sure, this is a very controversial time of the year, but even with that her engaging in said controversy would probably only lead to a little more chaos down the road that she and her family doesn’t quite need.
