Hillary Clinton tweeted she is “in awe” of Michelle Obama’s emotional speech condemning Trump’s lewd comments about women.
“I’m in awe. Thanks for putting into words what’s in so many of our hearts,” wrote Clinton Thursday. The tweet has the Democratic candidate’s “-H” signature, indicating that it was personally written by her rather than campaign staff.

Obama gave a widely praised speech at a Thursday rally for Clinton in New Hampshire where she condemned Trump’s “bragging” about his sexual exploits without mentioning the Republican nominee by name.
“A candidate for president of the United States has bragged about sexually assaulting women,” said Obama. “And I have to tell you that I can’t stop thinking about this. It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn’t have predicted.”
Clinton’s Twitter account features a number of quotes and at least one video clip from the first lady’s address.
