(Reuters) - Here is the text of former first lady Michelle Obama's full remarks as prepared for delivery on the opening night of the 2020 Democratic National Convention on Monday, as issued by convention organizers:
Good evening, everyone. It’s a hard time, and everyone’s feeling it in different ways. And I know a lot of folks are reluctant to tune into a political convention right now or to politics in general. Believe me, I get that. But I am here tonight because I love this country with all my heart, and it pains me to see so many people hurting.
