First Lady Melania steps out in rare political moment to scold Democrat leaders

First Lady Melania Trump praised lawmakers who came out to join her fight against cyber crimes including the use of “deepfakes” and revenge porn with the “Take it Down Act.”

There were, however, some obvious absentees who had one thing in common – being Democrats.

“I must admit, however, I expected to see more Democrat leaders with us here today to address this serious issue,” the first lady said. “Surely as adults, we can prioritize America’s children ahead of partisan politics.”

45 Democrat senators just voted against a bill to protect girls from biological males joining women’s sports and invading female spaces. So, yes, great point.

Sadly, most dems are not capable of being non-partisan. Fantastic speech by @FLOTUS

God bless her, she gives them way too much credit. Their hatred for her and her husband transcends supporting the right thing to do.
