Michelle Obama speaks to 'Good Morning America' in first post-inauguration interview ABCNews Share: Share: Former first lady Michelle Obama is speaking out for the first time since the inauguration of President Joe Biden, sharing the "reality" that faced guests on the stage as they watched the former vice president be sworn on the same platform where two weeks earlier a mob of angry rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol. "The mood was wonderful, but it was also mixed," Obama said in an interview with Robin Roberts that aired Wednesday on "Good Morning America." "I think everyone was concerned about more riots, but we were assured that things were under control."
