But New Hampshire, be clear, this is not normal. This is not politics as usual. [ cheers and applause ] this is disgraceful. It is intolerable. Doesn't matter what party you belong to. No woman deserves to be treated this way. No one deserves this kind of abuse. I know it's a campaign, but this isn't about politics. It's about basic human decency. It's about right and wrong. We cannot endure this or expose our children to this for any longer. Not for another minute, let alone four years.

Twitter is on fire from this “glorious moment” delivered to us by Michelle Obama...trending!
Michelle’s words were spoken from the heart…
Clinton campaign official tells @mmurraypolitics Michelle Obama's speech was something she personally wanted to deliver; words came from her
This is not something we can ignore. It's not something we can sweep under the rug as just another disturbing footnote in a sad election season. Because this was not just a lewd conversation. This wasn't locker room banter. This was a powerful individual speaking freely and openly about sexually predatory behavior. And actually bragging about kissing and groping women. Using language so obscene that many of us are worried about our children hearing it when we turn on the TV.
