Author and sex columnist Dan Savage says many liberals are giving first lady Melania Trump a pass because shes pretty and that she doesnt deserve one.
God knows theres enough hate in the world and I dont want to add to the sum total, but forgive me, I have got to get this off my chest: I fing hate Melania Trump, Savage said at the start of his latest Savage Love podcast.
Im not alone in loathing Donald Trumps third wife shes married to a misogynist after all. Odds are good her husband hates her too, Savage continued. But there are some folks on the left who not only dont hate her, they view her as some sort of sympathetic figure. The pretty princess in the tower locked up by the orange ogre with the bad combover, a princess desperately blinking out distress signals during swearing-in ceremonies and inaugural balls.

Savage is right that some liberals have expressed at least sarcastic sympathy for the first lady Free Melania signs were a not-uncommon sight at the Los Angeles Womens March the day after Trumps inauguration.
Savage said the undeservedly charitable view of Melania Trump comes from peoples tendency to think that the insides of pretty people match the outsides of pretty people.
Its definitely not true in this case. Mrs. Trump, Melania Trump, is as ugly on the inside as she is pretty on the outside. She is a birther. Pretty Melania went on TV to push the same racist conspiracy theories about Barack Obama that her husband did. Shes an immigrant who doesnt give a s about the plight of other immigrants. Shes famously a plagiarist. And shes brought ruinous lawsuits against journalists and bloggers accusing them of among other things, potentially interfering with her ability to profit off her role as first lady.

Melania Trumps legal team has successfully targeted reporters who have made baseless suggestions that she worked as an escort years ago. Last month, a New York Times reporter apologized for calling her a hooker.
People of all political stripes have argued in in the past that presidents families should be off-limits in the criticisms of their policies. But Savage said President Obamas right-wing critics didnt apply that rule to Michelle Obama.
I dont know if you can impeach a first lady or how that would work, but I do know that we would have found out pretty fing fast if Michelle Obama had said the same during her husbands presidency, Savage said.

He also referred listeners to a ThinkProgress article about Melania Trump visiting a Washington, D.C. hospital where she reportedly said the power of nature could help heal sick children.
Savage said President Trumps environmental policies and repeal of Obamacare would both hurt those children.
He also cited a pre-Obamacare Harvard University study that linked 45,000 deaths each year to a lack of health care coverage.
Thats fifteen 9/11s every year, he said.

Savage, a longtime activist and left-wing provocateur who formerly hosted an MTV advice show, has previously launched campaigns that ranged from the cruelly mischievous to the widely praised.
He and his husband, Terry Miller, introduced the It Gets Better project in 2010, in which people including President Obama recorded hopeful messages urging bullied gay teenagers not to commit suicide. Savage is also responsible for ruining former Sen. Rick Santorums Google results.
Its looking like Melania Trump wont get an invitation to film an It Gets Better video anytime soon.

How would this POOF know what she looks like on this inside? Is he hacking her medical records or getting them from the Russkis?
This is the same guy who licked all the door knobs on Gary Bauer’s campaign office to try to get him and his staffers sick. Who’s ugly again?
These are the bitterest, most cynical people in the world. Why did they have to steal the “G” word?
Lovely. *BARF*
Don’t the Biden’s have ENO)UGH trouble these days?

These attacks are way out of line and not fair.
Can you imagine what would have happened if a conservative had said that Michelle Obama was ugly on the inside?
Ya know..garbage like THAT eventually get the karma they deserve in one shape or form
All of his hatred towards women is being channeled to the wife of the president he hates. Homosexuals are so full of extreme, psychotic hatred.
Bitchy little man, I’d say.
NEVER call them happy. They are HOMOSEXUAL.
If this isn’t the world’s most perfect case of projection, then projection doesn’t exist.

Ewww.. The breath smell in that circle must be horrendous.
They are self-loathing and mentally ill. Many kill themselves. They often project onto others.
