We know wherever Rahul Gandhi goes, jokes follow. Yes, as soon as he says something, social media users are quick enough to troll him to the core; be it his potato factory comment or be it his hatred for Modi, Rahul’s statements are always a hot topic of discussion.
Recently, he grabbed a lot of attention by passing an absurd remark about Barack Obama’s wife, Michelle Obama. This time, Rahul was addressing a rally in Jaunpur and he talked about how he wants to make UP the manufacturing hub of the world.
While talking about it, Rahul Gandhi made some blatantly sexist remarks about Michelle Obama.
“JAB OBAMA JI KI PATNI AMERICA MEIN APNI RASOI MEIN KUCH PAKAYE, PATILON KO DEKH KAR KAHEIN SUNDAR PATILA HAI, AUR PATILE PE LIKHA HO ‘MADE IN JAUNPUR’.”
English Translation: “When Obama’s wife would be cooking food in her kitchen, she would admire the utensils. After admiring the cooking utensils she should read the lines ‘Made in Jaunpur’ embossed over them.”
Michelle Obama, a vocal advocate of the woman empowerment in the USA, sits in the kitchen admiring the utensils. Seriously?
And he didn’t just stop there:
“WE WOULD EMBOSS ‘MADE IN UTTAR PRADESH’ OVER (EVERY PHONE), AND WHICHEVER SHOP (THE U.P. FARMER) VISITS, THE ENTIRE STOCK WOULD BE FROM U.P.”
As soon as his words came, he became food for social media trolls for making bizarre comments about former US first lady Michelle Obama.
See how Twitterati made some hilarious tweets trolling him:
This guy certainly knows whom to blame.
Delete your speechwriter. https://t.co/2R8bhcZCKd
