Michelle Obama confirmed that once and for all, there is no love lost between her and Joe Biden.
The former First Lady used her convention speech to settle some old scores.
And Michelle Obama just humiliated Joe Biden in this very public way.
One notable absence at the Democrat convention
The second night of the Democrat National Convention saw Barack and Michelle Obama take the stage as the stars of the show.
Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Illinois Democrat Governor J.B. Pritzker were among the other speakers.
But until Barack Obama closed out the night, it was very noticeable that not one speaker mentioned Joe Biden.
Some powerful speeches tonight. It's possible that Barack Obama will bring him up, but an unmentioned name for several hours tonight: Joe Biden.

Many of the speakers didn’t want to bring up Biden’s name for obvious political reasons.
Democrats are trying to erase Biden’s name from existence so the party can continue on with the fiction that Kamala Harris is fresh and new while avoiding the reality that she is second in command for a historically unpopular President.
But Michelle Obama had personal reasons for embarrassing Joe Biden.
Michelle Obama’s long been furious at the Bidens over their treatment of her friend Kathleen Buhle, who was once married to Hunter Biden.
The two got divorced as Hunter Biden battled substance abuse, and the Biden family treated Buhle like she was persona non grata.
“Former First Lady Michelle Obama privately has expressed frustration over how the Biden family largely exiled her close friend Kathleen Buhle after Buhle’s messy divorce from Hunter Biden,” Axios reported.
“Michelle Obama, who had become friends with Buhle during the Obama administration, privately told others that she felt Buhle had been wronged,” the Axios report continued.
The former First Lady reportedly was so upset over the slight, she had to be dragged kicking and screaming to campaign for Biden in 2020.
“Michelle Obama also was initially reluctant to campaign for Biden after he became the Democratic nominee in 2020,” the Axios report continued.
The relationship was so bad that Michelle Obama wouldn’t even go to a fundraiser for the Beau Biden Foundation.
“In the fall of 2017, Barack Obama — without Michelle — attended a fundraiser in Wilmington, Del., for the Beau Biden Foundation, a children’s advocacy group,” Axios also reported.
But even Barack Obama was taken aback by the situation because at that point, Hunter Biden was seeing Beau Biden’s widow.
“After the event, the former president privately described the Biden family dynamics there as ‘weird s***,’ a person familiar,” Axios reported Obama telling others.
In the end, Michelle Obama got her silent revenge on Joe Biden by refusing to mention his name in her speech.
