The rally took place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. CNN released some quotes as well as footage of what Michelle Obama spoke on at the rally.

Trump and some members of his team have since apologized for and belittling the President’s birthplace and his citizenship, but many, including the first lady, are not convinced by the apology.
“There are those who questioned for the past eight years whether my husband was even born in this country. And let me say hurtful, deceitful questions deliberately designed to undermine his presidency. Questions that cannot be blamed on others or swept under the rug by an insincere sentence uttered at a press conference.”
Michelle Obama also commented on the mental and emotional stability of Trump. CNN also showed that she stated that the erratic behavior and prejudiced comments Trump has made make him unfit for the presidency. Her comments were met with applause by her audience.
