And her decision not to attend Monday’s event has not been missed by many, including Rock. Speaking on Jesse Watters Primetime, he said: “I would kindly remind her that years back when Obama was first elected, I did not vote for him. But they asked me to play the Inauguration. And I played it and I went.
“I had a good time. I went out of respect for the President so I would kindly remind Michelle about that.”. Rock said that he appeared at the Youth Inagurual Ball hours before the former president was sworn into office in 2009, performing alongside Kanye West and Fall Out Boy at the Hilton Washington.
