Podcaster Joe Rogan recently accused TV personality Oprah Winfrey and former first lady Michelle Obama of brazen hypocrisy during their Democratic National Convention (DNC) speeches.

He also mentioned Michelle Obama’s speech about her parents’ suspicion of people taking more than they needed, pointing out her current net worth of $70 million and luxurious lifestyle.

The Trump War Room shared a clip of Michelle Obama’s speech, emphasizing the gap between her parents’ values and her own significant net worth and luxurious mansion in Martha’s Vineyard.
