Former FLOTUS Michelle Obama has a few words for the women who casted their vote for Donald Trump for President.

Obama made an appearance at the Inbound marketing conference in Boston Wednesday and sat down with Roxane Gay in an interview that has already received lots of attention.

“Any woman who voted against Hillary Clinton voted against their own voice,” she said. “What does it mean for us as women that we look at those two candidates, as women, and many of us said, that guy, he’s better for me, his voice is more true to me. Well, to me that just says ou don’t like your voice. You like the thing you’re told to like.”

Still, she added she hopes Trump and his administration are fruitful and effective.

“It is very difficult to lead when you have a peanut gallery of people who don’t know what they’re talking about second-guessing what you do. We’ve learned part of our legacy is leading with grace and being humble and diplomatic.”

One of her most notable quotes during her appearance is, “Our legacy is not going to be Barack just tweeting in the wind & stirring up trouble. You have to lead with grace.”

Obama also called out the Republican Party’s inability to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.

“The Affordable Care Act is not Barack’s legacy,” she said. “It is our country’s legacy.”

She admitted that while she doesn’t miss the White House (her exact words were “can’t say that I do”) she does miss the people she worked with during her time as First Lady.
