President Trump’s Thursday morning tweet about MSNBC's ‘Morning Joe’ host Mika Brzezinski has left CNN’s Jake Tapper with a compelling question.
He asked via Twitter, “This reminds me: how is @FLOTUS's campaign against cyber-bullying going?”
Tapper’s question came after Trump used the social media site to blast Brzezinski and her co-host Joe Scarborough.
He wrote, “I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!”
The campaign referenced by Tapper was announced during the 2016 presidential race.
At that time, Melania Trump said that as first lady she would work to combat social media harassment and bullying, notes The Guardian.
Just days before the election, she told a crowd gathered at a Pennsylvania event, “Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers.”
She also described her husband as a person who has, “deep love and respect” for all in the nation.
In the wake of the president's Thursday morning Twitter activity, Stephanie Grisham, Melania's spokesperson, said, “As the first lady has stated publicly in the past, when her husband gets attacked, he will punch back 10 times harder.”
