Claim: Michelle Obama Has Blocked Cheryl Hines From Appearing on Larry David's New Show, Because She's RFKJr.'s Wife

Toxic masculinity.

Michelle Obama 'Bans' Cheryl Hines From Appearing in New Larry David HBO Show Over MAGA Links -- Ex-First Lady 'Can Be A B**** on Wheels'

Michelle Obama has reportedly banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO show she is executive producing over her MAGA links.

Michelle Obama has banned Cheryl Hines from appearing in a new HBO series honouring America's 250th birthday, according to new claims, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

The former First Lady, 62, is an executive producer on Larry David's new seven-episode sketch show, Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America, and reportedly used her influence to stop Hines from featuring.

Michelle Obama does not want Hines anywhere near her show, according to reports.

Hines, 60, starred alongside David, 78, in the hit comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm; however, their relationship has become strained in recent years due to her relationship with the nation's Health and Human Services secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

...

And her ties to MAGA have resulted in Hines being omitted from the series, with insiders claiming the prospect of her featuring would make Michelle go "absolutely ballistic."

Obama himself will appear in this mock "historical" series which will, undoubtedly, regurgitate all of the left's invectives about America.

Like he just did.

Former President Barack Obama took aim at the Founding Fathers ahead of America's 250th anniversary, saying they held a "deep flaw" for their ties to slavery despite being "geniuses."

"I think sometimes we get confused in thinking that these two stories are separate. They're intertwined, right? Which is why it's possible for me to be a great admirer of George Washington, and also acknowledge he was a slaveholder," said Obama in an interview Sunday with MSNOW.

The 44th president's appearance comes as most Americans prepare to celebrate the nation's 250th birthday on Saturday with patriotic events across the country, while Obama is using the milestone to deliver a more cautionary message about the state of American democracy.

"That does not negate [Washington's] greatness, it simply acknowledges that there's a profound deep flaw in these Founding Fathers who were also geniuses and gave us these tools," Obama said.

"It's that we're this mixed bag, we've got contradictions. And embody the country's contradictions," he added.

Bonus: I mentioned Jill Biden's very suspicious book sales yesterday. Now the NY Post writes it up.

Former First Lady Jill Biden's memoir had a brief run atop the New York Times bestseller list before tumbling out of the rankings just weeks later -- fueling online speculation that its lofty debut owed more to bulk book orders than to sustained reader demand.

"View from the East Wing," which was published by Simon & Schuster's imprint Gallery Books, debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction list on June 21 with a dagger (†) symbol indicating that retailers reported some bulk purchases.

By the following week, it had slipped to No. 3, and it has since fallen off the list altogether.

The sharp drop has sparked claims on social media that the 299-page book reached the top through orchestrated buying campaigns instead of real consumer demand.

Former FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver was among the most prominent critics, writing on X that the memoir "debuted at #1 on the NYT due to astroturfed bulk orders" before noting that it was "completely" off the list two weeks later and calling such a rapid decline "very rare."

Publishing experts caution that the reality is more nuanced.

"I don't think there is anything sinister about it," Lauren Cobello, founder and CEO of Leverage with Media PR, told The Post.

Except that Lauren Cobello specializes in bulk purchases of books to artificially boost their initial sales to get them on the best seller list. This is not an objective expert the media is contacting, but an invested, partisan champion of the system itself.

As usual.

"I think it's a strategy, a smart strategy for how people are engaging their network so that they can get more books in the hands of their readers," she said of bulk buying.

Cobello, whose agency specializes in launching bestselling books, said bulk purchases are a routine feature of modern publishing campaigns -- particularly for politicians, celebrities and high-profile authors embarking on national book tours.

...

"It's almost impossible to not have bulk orders" for major political figures and celebrities, Cobello said, noting that bookstores hosting large events often place orders for hundreds of books at a time.

This bitch is just spamming out pro-Jill-Biden spin:

She also pushed back on the suggestion that the memoir's rapid decline necessarily signals failure.

"It wasn't a complete flop," Cobello said, pointing to its continued appearance on the USA Today bestseller list after it exited the Times rankings.

"She definitely had some bulk orders, but I think they were tied to the events that she had."

Why even contact such a clear partisan as you supposed "outside expert witness"?
