CNN took some shots at first lady Melania Trump on Wednesday night after she expressed bemusement over the press coverage of her and her family.
On “Tonight with Don Lemon,” CNN global affairs analyst Susan Glasser said that she was “struck” by Mrs. Trump’s comments.
“First of all, she has this incredible air of aggrievement,” Glasser told CNN anchor Don Lemon. “Here is this extraordinary story of a woman who came to this country as an immigrant, as a model, and is now the first lady of the United States and you would think in her rare public appearances, you know, that some terrible wrong has been done to her in this country. I’ve always been surprised by that air of grievance that she carries very publically with her.”
Later on in the program, CNN contributor Joan Walsh echoed Glasser’s sentiment, saying Mrs. Trump “continues to whine” about being first lady.
“I’m sure privately, you’re allowed to grouse, but you know, if Michelle Obama had done half of the complaining that she has done in her limited interviews… she’d be skewered,” Walsh said. “I mean, there’s just a constant sort of pity party whenever she gets in front of a microphone.”- READ MORE
