The "boos" against the Trump's keep coming - Melania booed at a youth summit

CNN

Excerpt:

(CNN)First lady Melania Trump took her "Be Best" initiative to the Baltimore area on Tuesday, where she was met with a chorus of boos from attendees at a youth summit aimed at raising awareness about the nation's opioid crisis.

The heckling lasted for about one minute, according to CNN's Kate Bennett, who was in the room. But the audience remained raucous, audibly speaking over her remarks throughout her brief speech to the B'More Youth Summit.

Undeterred, the first lady pressed on.

"Thank you to all of the students who are here. I am so proud of you for the bravery it takes to share that you have been strongly affected by the opioid epidemic in some way," she said above loud, persistent talking in the audience in an auditorium at University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

The first lady later responded to the booing in a statement to CNN: "We live in a democracy and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but the fact is we have a serious crisis in our country and I remain committed to educating children on the dangers and deadly consequences of drug abuse."

Earlier in November, the first lady was met with protesters during a visit to Boston Medical Center, located in the city's South End. Protesters on a grassy area in front of the building held signs and chanted, most decrying the immigration stance and policies of her husband, President Donald Trump.

Those in the crowd were primarily hospital employees, upset that Melania Trump's visit would create a public photo opportunity aligning members of the Trump administration with Boston Medical Center, 30% of whose patients don't speak English as a primary language, according to the hospital's website.

Still haven't taken the hint. Impeachment of her husband, the ULTIMATE Bully, can't come soon enough.

The First Lady will not publicly turn against her husband, no matter how much public and internal pressure she has or what she feels about him. A lot of people believe she is actually a nice person and only plays a facade to keep the family in power, but she could just be cut of the same cloth.

Classes lefties... no surprise.

I wish Donald could respond that diplomatically. He would have just escalated the shit out of the situation.

Melania 2020

Lmao imagine being anti-cyber bullying and then trump being the biggest cyber bully.

Bad luck Mellenia.

It's like if Reagan smoked mountains of crack every day.

@zaryia: This had nothing to do with cyberbullying. Stay on topic.

She seems like a terrible human being just like her husband, so, fair enough to those kids.

@comeonman: Melania be like

And then Warren would be all

The First Lady got booed in a city that hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1967?

@r-gamer: Sure...let me a put a pin in this topic for you, since you don’t seem to get it on your own.

If your husband openly ridicules a city’s beloved elected official and civil rights leader, and then calls part of that city a rat-infested cesspool, then you probably shouldn’t give a speech to kids who live there unless it’s a public apology.

The Trump family has to be the most idiotically tone-deaf people in America. Truly.

Good. That is one shitty family.

It's not like there is anything to apologize for in what he said. He could have been a little more presidential about it, but he's right if you look at the videos that came out of Baltimore showing how bad the place was.

Catherine Pugh was the former Democratic mayor of Baltimore saying those things about that part of the city, but when Trump said it critics said he was lying and probably saying it because he was racist. People that tried to counter him by showing pictures of the nicer parts of Baltimore like the Inner Harbor were like people trying to counter criticism of Mexico by showing pictures of Cancún.

By the way, Pugh was the third mayor in a row to leave in disgrace (the second to resign in a ten year period) and she just plead guilty to several federal charges, with several more she has to go to trial for. If your response is "But Trump..." he's already being investigated for his alleged misdeeds, and the problems Baltimore deals with started prior to January 2017.

@Baconstrip78: But it was a rat infested cesspool. Sorry the truth hurts your feelings.

They weren't booing. They were saying, "Booo-urns"

Trump supporters: Lock her up!

Liberals: Boo!

Trump supporters: You guys lack class!

Do you not understand context or something? She was remarking on poor conditions with the implication that she wanted to do something to fix it. Trump was using the poor conditions to insult an entire city and discredit their opinions.

@theone86: At least trump supporters cleaned up the shithole. But you lefties bitched about that too.

I know for a fact that Trump doesn't brush his teeth.

lol

nice

My heart goes out to Melania let me just put on my jacket.

I think you are the only guy who gets the simpson's reference.

These liberal's "boos" are just warm ups for the "boo hoos" coming again in 2020 when Trump gets re-elected. Bet!

Well, last time I checked she didn't do a thing to fix it. Probably because she was too busy committing fraud and tax evasion to do anything of substance. We're talking about a mayor that was in charge during a time several schools didn't have heat during the winter, but they still found a way to spend over a hundred thousand dollars bussing students down to DC for a gun protest.

On the other hand, a few days after the president tweeted several people came to Baltimore and volunteered to pick up several tons of trash. Almost unsurprisingly, those people were called racist for doing so because of the assumption that they only did it to make Baltimore's leadership look bad. Like the fact that the city was as bad as it was didn't make them look bad already.

Then there were the people that implied that when Trump said "rat-infested" conditions that it was a dog whistle and that he really wanted to say "n*****-infested" conditions. And people like that wonder why they aren't taken as seriously despite the thousands of likes they get on Twitter with the virtue-singling posts they like to send out daily.

What people like to ignore is the fact that the tweetstorm was partly started in response to black GOP member Kimberly Klacik's video showing the poor conditions in parts of the city. Instead of attacking the problem, they attacked the messengers with accusations of being an Uncle Tom (Klacik) and a racist (Trump). Try viewing some videos that show how bad the conditions are for a change. Or you can do like me and actually see them in person if you live near Baltimore. Should we attack Bernie Sanders for this tweet, which he sent before Trump took office?

that's a sad state of affairs....

smh

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line is if Trump hadn't used poor conditions to insult the citizenry and their leadership with rhetoric that's reminiscent of Nazi propaganda then people wouldn't be rightly pissed off at him. If Trump had just remarked on the state of certain areas of the city or suggested some sort of action he was spearheading to help them nobody would be talking about it, but he didn't. He insulted a sitting congressman and said that his opinion didn't matter because he was from a rat-infested cesspool. Stop making excuses for that. You say you're from the party of personal responsibility, but I don't see you taking any right now, zero. I see you trying to shift the conversation way from something horrible Trump said in order to diminish the opinion of people who were rightfully offended by it. It's downright cowardly, frankly.

There is going to be more boos in 2020 when he gets reelected again.

Not if my buddy Guan Yu hits the polls.
