The spokeswoman for Melania Trump this morning hit back at a CNN op-ed for their negative coverage of the First Lady and for getting their facts wrong.
First, here’s how the op-ed began by CNN’s Kate Brower:
In a rare interview Wednesday night Melania Trump proved that she doesn’t understand what it means to be first lady.
She told Fox News’s Sean Hannity that “opportunists who are using my name” are the hardest part of being first lady, again making the job about herself and her family instead of taking the opportunity to talk about the challenges she sees other people facing.
She reserved her harshest words for the media, her husband’s favorite punching bag. The biggest challenge she faces as first lady, she said, is from “comedians to journalists to performers, book writers.”
Really? Is her family’s legacy the thing that worries her most? After all the pain she has witnessed as first lady, from meeting with a survivor of the Parkland, Florida, high school shooting to visiting with children separated from their parents at the border, has the media really been the most difficult part of her job?
If so, that is a big problem.
Melania’s spokeswoman told Fox News this morning that she found the op-ed quite offensive and defended Trump’s job as First Lady, pointing to what she’s actually done as First Lady both in the White House and in her travels to help children.
