White House scrubs Michelle Obama’s confrontation with LGBT protester

The Washington Times reported on Tuesday that first Lady Michelle Obama confronted a gay rights protester after she was interrupted about ten minutes into her speech at a campaign fundraiser in D.C.

According to pool reports, the activist — standing at the front of the event at the residence of Karen Dixon and Nan Schaffer — began shouting for an executive order on gay rights.

“One of the things I don’t do well is this,” the first lady said, leaving the lectern and moving toward the protester, “listen to me or you can take the mic, but I’m leaving. You all decide. You have one choice.”
