The United States First Lady, Melania Trump, is planning her
first big international swing with a trip through several African countries in
October this year.
The American first lady said in a written statement last
Monday that she's looking forward to learning about the issues that children
living on the continent face, as well as appreciating Africa's history and
culture.
Meanwhile, Commentator Tomi Lahren used an appearance on
“Fox and Friends” Wednesday to declare she has “never seen a first lady be
attacked like” Melania Trump has been, and that it’d be preposterous to think
Fox News would have criticized former first lady Michelle Obama as vehemently.
“I have never seen a first lady be attacked like this, like
Melania Trump has, for the good works and the good deeds that she has done,”
Lahren said, responding to a jab made on Twitter by political commentator Ana
Navarro on Monday.
Navarro ridiculed the first lady as having a “lack of
self-awareness [and] any sense of shame” for speaking out against cyberbullying
as her own husband, President Donald Trump, regularly uses Twitter to scorn,
shame and berate others.
“Only plausible explanation here is, Melania suffered oxygen
deprivation to the brain,” Navarro concluded.
In hitting back at Navarro, Lahren said: “Can you imagine if
we would sit here and attack Michelle Obama for something she was trying to do
to better the country? We’d be attacked up and down. But because it’s Melania,
because her last name is Trump, people like Ana Navarro think it’s okay that
they’re entitled to do that,” she said.
Of course, Fox News over the years directed numerous barbs
at Michelle Obama ― in particular over her healthy food and exercise campaign
for children, as well as her physical appearance. And Twitter users were quick
to remind Lahren of that.
