On Monday, the ladies of "The View" spent almost five minutes seriously debating whether or not first lady Melania Trump has a body double for some public events with President Donald Trump. This #FakeMelania conspiracy theory has made the rounds on the internet but the ladies of "The View" gave it far too much credibility and air time.
"The 'Fake Melania' online conspiracy is back. Some people think the first lady is using an imposter to stand in for her," Joy Behar began. "You mean there are two women that have to pretend they're listening to him?"
After pulling up photos on the screen, Behar said, "That one does not look like her, sorry. I wasn't going to go along with this, but that one in that picture doesn't look like her."
"The View" shared this tweet with photos supposedly showing a "fake Melania."

"It's a different shaped face," Behar insisted.
"I'm ashamed to say, I spent like an hour on Saturday involved in this," Sunny Hostin added. "Melania is a very tall, statuesque woman and the one that we saw — the first one that we showed she looks kind of short... Look how short she looks."
Behar countered that "Trump is tall." She then explained how the rumor-mill perpetrated the "Fake Melania" conspiracy.
"It catches on because when there’s a rumor like this and memes all over the place — it catches on because there’s an element of truth to the idea that she doesn’t want to spend time with him," Behar said.
CNN's Ana Navarro argued that the "absurdity" of Trump being president also made the conspiracy theory more plausible. "Political reality right now is so absurd that you would almost believe anything," she said. "I think this is crazy and it’s absurd. It’s also funny, and we need to laugh. For me, the laughing part is a coping mechanism."
Navarro urged her viewers to follow the conspiracy theory on social media. "If you have not gone to hashtag 'Fake Melania,' you must go see those memes," she said.
"I’d rather be talking about whether it’s a fake Melania or whether the president of the United States is a Russian actor or not," Navarro added, giving yet more undue weight to the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory. "If there’s going to be a body double, can we get one for him?"
Abby Huntsman acted as the voice of reason. "I’m actually — I don’t know what it says, if it’s more about us that we spend so much time on the internet focused on this conspiracy or if they think that if anyone can get away with it it’s the Trumps, right? I’m not convinced," she said. "How much effort is that going to take for someone to figure out exactly how to be her?"
"So to have someone play you and go through all this effort, it seems like a bit much," she said.
Hostin tried to breathe new air into the conspiracy, saying, "The Secret Service agent looks like her though. That’s the rabbit hole I started going down."
"I started researching whether or not the Secret Service has ever admitted that they do it, and then the Secret Service has denied the use of body doubles but then I started thinking, well, of course they deny it, because then they could never do it," Hostin added. In other words, if the Secret Service admitted to using body doubles, the practice would lose its effectiveness.
Ultimately, the ladies of "The View" each admitted, "I don't care" if there is a "fake Melania."
Navarro concluded by saying, "Let's have fun with Melania."
Not everyone was laughing, however. Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's communications director, attacked "The View" for choosing "to laugh in the face of tragedy." After all, this entire latest cycle of "fake Melania" conspiracy theories came after photos appeared of Trump and his wife arriving to pay their respects to victims of the tornado in Alabama.
For "The View" to promote a conspiracy theory amid this tragedy is just "shameful," Grisham tweeted.

That is the only reason they brought it up. MANY of us 'Americans' said the same about Hillary. So these harpies didn't even come up with something original. They are like children yelling "I'm not stupid, you are stupid".
Why do we give a rip about what these bitter, old, shriveled up hags have to say about anything?
So they’re saying there is another woman out there who looks like Melania but who is not married to a billionaire? They wouldn’t happen to have her number? ... Asking for a friend... ;-)
Here is the referenced video. Serious comment, does anyone have a rational explanation other than M is a man after seeing this?
It also gets the Hillary body-double debate in the public view.
They have to start something else since the Trump/Russia fiasco is looking pretty bad for them
So to cover just how much money they wasted
+3
WOW!
That really isolates it and makes it unmistakable.
No women that I know have anything swinging in their pants like that.
OMG L&L!
Are you saying....
RuPaul was Michelle’s body double?
That Bruce Jenner was in blackface?
That bigfoot can wear women’s clothes?
That Chewbacca can dance?
Or on a hog farm....
See the video at #25 than MNDude posted
Those sea hags are wearing their pu$$y hats too tight.
And where she gets those marvelous shower curtains she wears as dresses - what Motel 6 does she favor?
They must be getting ready to bring out Hillary’s double out again.nobody would believe that is Melania.
I say it’s a medical device. At the very least.
There was another video of Mooch - AJ had it but of course, since it’s AJ, Youtube got rid of it.
Michelle comes bouncing (quite obviously, too) down some steps to a vehicle.
It makes me thing she’s got a medical bag for waste.
I’m not so sure POTUS’s tweet puts this to rest:

The Fake News photoshopped pictures of Melania, then propelled conspiracy theories that it’s actually not her by my side in Alabama and other places. They are only getting more deranged with time!
If she’s not a man, then she has a medical device for the collection of urine.
There is something showing, from time-to-time and when it shows, it’s slightly on her right side.
Those are usually strapped to the leg, but it could be.
It looks like a penis.
Would explain why trannies got such a boost.
