Melania Defends Trump Tweets: 'Sometimes You Need to Fight Back'

[DonViejo]

During a town hall event with Liberty University students that mostly focused on the opioid crisis Wednesday morning, First Lady Melania Trump tried to square her “Be Best” anti-cyberbullying campaign with her husband’s aggressive approach to attacking perceived enemies on Twitter. While the first lady said she is urging young people to be “respectful and kind” on social media, she also added, “Sometimes you need to fight back, I'm sorry.” During the panel discussion, which was moderated by disgraced Fox News host Eric Bolling, Melania Trump also defended the controversial red Christmas trees she recently put up in the White House. “We are in 21st century and everybody has different taste. I think they look fantastic,” she said to cheers from the audience. “I hope everybody will come over and visit it. In real life, they look even more beautiful and you are all very welcome to visit the White House, the People’s House.”

1. Liberty University, what a joke.

The Trumps only talk to sycophants.

2. Oh, for cripe's sake.

On top of defending those tweets, those trees are ridiculous and why, for the past two years, has she put up those hideous displays and then marched through her gloomy forests wearing boots and a cape, like she's out of some dystopian Siberian fairy tale?

3. The problem with people like Melania and Susan Collins is that in the end they are for the home team

They are republicans and are not on your side.

4. She is earning her money right now.

12. That sums it up nicely!

Melania’s first and only thought is the divorce settlement, and I’m certain that she negotiated a better amount for herself. I haven’t seen her slap away Trump’s tiny toddler hands in a while.

5. Lol sure.

Melania: Be Best!

Trump: (calls woman horseface)

6. Trump's constant bullying and attacks on others is self-defense?

Of course they are. Snort.

[Hassler]

7. Melaria must be sensitive to the outrage over her hideous Christmas trees.

11. Haven't you heard? She is the most bullied person in the world!

Poor Melania!

8. #Bemoron!

What a vapid pile of plastic surgery.

9. One thing is for sure ...

she is as dumb as her husband. They are the perfect pair.

10. Useless trophy wife makes excuses for her manchild hubby in front of a crowd of "Christian" bigots.

Everyone in that building can just go ahead and fuck right the hell off.

13. Melania Trump, Liberty U., Fox News host Eric Bolling...

What’s not to LOATHE?

I don’t know how the U.S. can survive intact with such horrible people pulling strings. They’ve turned democracy on its head. Up is now down and down is now up.

14. Trump threw the first punch ....

We get to fight back lady ....
