Former First Lady Michelle Obama Speaks with Jenna Bush Hager About the Demolition of the East Wing

On Tuesday, Michelle Obama, former First Lady, appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and said the East Wing, White House, `was where life happened` and `where you felt light`, while noting the White House is `The People's House`.
To make room for President Donald Trump's new ballroom, the White House's East Wing was torn down amid heavy criticism, and former First Ladies including Michelle Obama weighed in with reactions.
Public-Facing responses included Chelsea Clinton’s USA Today Op‑Ed saying `The White House will always be a home I was lucky enough to live in for a while` and Hillary Clinton’s merch reading `Not his house` supporting progressive groups.
Michelle Obama, former First Lady, argued the demolition highlighted a bigger issue, saying she felt `confused by what are our norms, what are our standards, what are our traditions` and urged Americans to reclaim what they're losing.
Framing the White House symbolically, Michelle Obama, former First Lady, described the first lady role as `a strange job` with pressure and called the White House a `mirror of our democracy`, resilient yet fragile.
