Melania Responded to House Candidate Who Called Her a Terrible Name — and It Was Pretty Awesome
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Spokeswoman for FLOTUS crushed Mark Roberts with a reply to the Oregon man's lewd, classless tweet
Team Melania Trump may have dignity and class — but they’re not going to let the comments of Oregon congressional candidate Mark Roberts slide without a response.
“Did you know the First Lady works by the hour? #thinkdirty #hoebag,” Roberts said in a tweeted response to Charlie Kirk on Monday — eliciting almost instant condemnation from many corners.
Now, FLOTUS spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham has crushed Roberts’ insult in a comment to Glamour magazine.
“This is just more hypocritical intolerance from those who oppose her husband’s administration,” Team Melania said. “To say such ugly words about a mother, wife, and our first lady is not just a pathetic attempt at getting himself in the news; it is disturbing and despicable.”
Scores of Americans came to Melania Trump’s defense after Roberts’ derogatory remark, including House Majority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), who called on Twitter to be consistent and to ban Roberts from the social media platform for its hate speech. McCarthy appeared on “The Ingraham Angle” on Tuesday night to share those thought s and more as well.
“Jack this attack on @FLOTUS is disgraceful. Comments like these have no business on any platform. This account should be banned ASAP,” McCarthy wrote to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey late Monday night.
Laura Ingraham, host of “The Ingraham Angle” on Fox News and LifeZette’s co-founder, also asked the Twitter CEO on Tuesday why the tweet was still up.
“Why has @jack not taken this tweet down and suspended the account?” she asked.
Predictably, much of the Twitterverse sees no problem at all with the insulting remark against the first lady, although it’s pretty clear what would have happened if a Republican candidate had said the same about former first lady Michelle Obama.
Of course, it’s asking a lot of Twitter to treat Republicans the same way as Democrats — pay no attention to the fact that liberals are free to spew hatred and even make death threats against conservatives with no consequences.
It’s no wonder people on the Right believe Twitter is against them.
The best way to call out abusers is to do it publicly and quickly — such as Melania Trump’s spokesperson did here.

I agree with that last sentence. Let's see if any abusers show up here
They don't like the coat she wears - the shirt she wears - the shoes she wears - that she's a Naturalized Citizen - that she's not mouthy - i.e., she's Trump's wife, so they believe all is fair.
Friggin' idiots.

I'd say that's a fair assessment
These folks have lost hold of their sanity in their rush to condemn any and all things even remotely associated with Trump, both here on NT and across the country. Their continued verbal assaults, threats and piggish views should be remembered, especially around election day.
These people love to declare that they care more about women and people of color, that they're more tolerant and more pro-science than other people. None of it is true. They think they can just claim moral high ground without actually walking the walk. They are liars.
I'm really enjoying the extra massive rightwing hypocrisy about this comment as I remember all the ugly, despicable nastiness hurled at Michelle Obama--not by just one state politician but by the entire rightwing craposhpere.
the hypocrisy is off the charts.
Spot on.
I want to thank those who read the article and stood up for the First Lady and Women in general
