First lady Melania Trump made a rare public appearance on Capitol Hill on Monday to push a bipartisan bill aimed at combatting revenge porn and deepfake sex images.
The former supermodel spoke about the horrors of artificial-intelligence-powered deepfake pornographic images that have swirled online and called out Democrats for not being more publicly supportive of the proposed Take It Down Act.
“It’s heartbreaking to witness some teens, especially girls, grappling with the overwhelming challenges posed by malicious online content,” the first lady, 54, said during the panel session with lawmakers.
“I was heartened to learn that [GOP] Senator [Ted] Cruz [of Texas] and [Dem] Senator [Amy] Klobuchar [of Minnesota] united to prioritize this fundamental matter,” she said. “I must admit, however, I expected to see more Democrat[ic] leaders with us here today to address this serious issue.
“Surely as adults, we can prioritize American children ahead of partisan politics.”
Melania, who usually steers clear of the limelight, previously spoke to members of Congress during her husband’s last term about the country’s foster-care system.
After her husband’s 2024 electoral victory, the first lady revived her “Be Best” initiative, which aims to combat cyberbullying and promote wellness among young people.

The Democrats are such children.
She really knows how to carry herself. We are blessed to have her as a First Lady.
She represents what Europe should have become.
Too bad Melania is pro-abortion:
“Why should anyone other than the woman herself have the power to determine what she does with her own body? A woman’s fundamental right of individual liberty, to her own life, grants her the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes,” she wrote in her upcoming book, the Guardian reported.
My impression of Melania is forever changed.
🧌 it's called "trolling".
I cannot imagine what she has endured and never once broken her dignity.
I remember wearing ladies three piece pant suits with a tie and tie pin back in the 70’s.
Sorry Melania, that is the Democrats stock and trade.
“I must admit, however, I expected to see more Democrat[ic] leaders with us here today to address this serious issue.“
Democrat[ic] - are the NY Post editors correcting her? Because she’s right - and they are wrong.
True, almost everyone gets this wrong.. but according to everyone I respect - Buckley, Reagan, Trump, Limbeau - call it the Democrat Party, not the Democratic Party.
The adjective “democratic” is already taken: it means “based on the principles of democracy” which is a far cry from the Democrat Party.
Poke in the eye to Zelensky
Why? Truth sheds sunlight. I am not a troll - I have been here for years.
