First Lady Michelle Obama has again shown why she is just as good – or even better – than her husband in making her voice heard with a powerful speech slamming Republican candidate Donald Trump over comments he made in a 2005 video about groping women.

Speaking at a Clinton campaign event in New Hampshire, the First Lady said the video, in which Trump brags he can “do anything” to women because he was a celebrity, had “shaken me to my core.”

Dismissing the Republican’s argument that it was simply “locker room banter”, she goes on to make what’s been called the most compelling speech of the campaign.

It’s well worth a listen. Watch an edited clip here or the full speech here.
