ABC Scolds Melania on #MeToo, Kavanaugh: ‘Some Might Say’ ‘You Need to Stand With Women’

On Good Morning America Wednesday, ABC previewed an upcoming one-on-one interview with First Lady Melania Trump that will air Friday Anchor Tom Llamas didn’t hold back from confronting Mrs. Trump on controversial topics, even at one point, scolding the First Lady for not being sensitive enough to the #MeToo movement.

In the short preview clip, Llamas asks first about the most surprising thing she’s faced as First Lady. Melania responds that certain charity organizations would not work with her because of her relationship with her husband. Llamas asked the First Lady to name names, but she declined from publicly shaming them.

Then the ABC anchor tries to shame her, for both supporting her husband amidst claims of infidelity, and by extension, his support for Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Llamas badgered Mrs. Trump to declare her “support” for the largely feminist movement:

“We also asked the First Lady about some of the major events that have shaped and rocked her husband's White House and the country, including the #MeToo movement,” Llamas gushed, playing clips of Trump saying he supported Kavanaugh. He then asked, “What is your take about the #MeToo movement, though? Do you believe in them? Do you support the #MeToo movement?”

Trump responded that everyone raising accusations and those accused needed to be heard and supported. Llamas tried to trap Trump with another gotcha question, asking, “Do you think men in the news that have been accused of sexual assault, sexual harrassment have been treated unfairly?”

Trump appealed to the need for “hard evidence,” before Llamas tried to shame her, again, scolding, “Some women might hear that and say how could you say that Mrs. Trump? You need to stand with women! What would you say?”

Trump remained stoic, reiterating the need for evidence, despite her support for women. She then blasted the media for their bias, saying they go “too far:”

I do stand with women but we need to show the evidence. You cannot just say to somebody, I was, you know, sexually assaulted and or you did that to me or -- because sometimes the media goes too far and the way they portray some stories, it's not correct. It's not right.

In a trailer for the upcoming interview, Llamas also asks the First Lady about the allegations of infidelity against her husband, and that controversial jacket she wore on the tarmac a few months ago. It would be hard to imagine Llamas asking similar questions to Hillary Clinton when her husband was in office.

Melania did stand with women, just not nutty feminist women.

It’s only fair because they questioned Hillary the same way.

We all do. That why we are enraged when Democrat politicians, and their lap dogs in the Fake Media, try to pervert it to conduct a transparent smear for poltical ends.

Fake accusers are every bit as evil as perpetrators. Those who use this very importation issue to falsely smear poltical opponents are total scum and need to be held accountable by EVERYONE.

Now that MeToo has become part of the radical left, it’s just another little tactic to advance the war on women.

Or how HRC supported the girl, Kathy Shelton, that was raped by the man, Thomas Alfred Taylor, she was defending while she was a criminal defense attorney?

As a reminder:

95% of so called Journalists are self identified Democrats, Liberals, Progressives and / or Socialists. Of the remaining 5%, four out of five are Liars.

Truth over PC. There is no correlation between genitalia and truth. People with either set can tell the truth or lie equally. THERE IS NO CORRELATION.

WHY would she even subject herself to this? Maybe she’s doing it for ‘We The People’ to show, once again, what absolute jerks they are?

I’m really amazed. Leftists pulled their typical dirty tricks, once again hammered a decent man with untrue accusations - one right after the other - yet this time truth won out over their evil.

That’s Justice and it’s about time.

This girl stands with FLOTUS.

These leftist morons just refuse to let go of a losing issue when it’s so obviously staring them in the face.
