ABC Scolds Melania on #MeToo, Kavanaugh: ‘Some Might Say’ ‘You Need to Stand With Women’
mrcNEWSBUSTERS ^ | October 10, 2018 | Kristine Marsh

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.”

According to nutty feminist women, non-nutty feminist women are not REAL women. Therefore Melania did not stand with women.

In any case like this (women, black, gay etc...) you can replace the victim group with “liberals” and it’ll be the truth.

Some might say ABC is a legitimate news organization. Not many, but some might.

Who made them boss?

Is support for killing babies the only standard feminists have?

Did they ever consider that abortion is the basis for "sex without consequences"?

Do they consider this mentality leads to disrespect for women?

“Some might say” = “This is what I think, and I dare you to disagree with me”

“I stand with women when they are NOT lying skanks.”

Fraud should be prosecuted for her lies especially since she is being made a martyr/heroine by the Demons hoping to convince female Dunderheads to vote Demon.

Melania stands with Juanita Broadrick, ABC does not. She should just turn it right around on their sorry asses.

"Daryl Van Horne: Do you think God knew what He was doing when He created woman? Huh? No shit. I really wanna know. Or do you think it was another one of His minor mistakes like tidal waves, earthquakes, FLOODS? You think women are like that? S'matter? You don't think God makes mistakes? Of course He does. We ALL make mistakes. Of course, when WE make mistakes they call it evil. When GOD makes mistakes, they call it... nature. So whaddya think? Women... a mistake... or DID HE DO IT TO US ON PURPOSE?"

Exactly! Feminism is the ultimate enemy of femininity. They hate men, to be sure. But they really, really hate any traditional women who respects her femininity, and is not at war with nature.

Why in heaven's name would she willingly submit herself to be grilled, and abused by the alt-left media? They HATE HER, President Trump, HER CHILD, and the ENTIRE EXTENDED Trump family.

The MSM "press" IS "The ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE".

Melania Trump stands with decent people, which is far better than dividing Americans the way the left does. Her father, half-brother, husband, and son are all male (obviously). What kind of monster would side with vindictive feminists or with unsupported allegations rather than side with the innocent?
