Hillary Clinton gave her honest view on First Lady Melania Trump's Be Best Program against bullying. The former Democratic candidate implied that President Donald Trump's wife should not look very far to curb bullying.
In an interview on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Clinton said that Melania should look closer to home for her anti-bullying campaign. The former First Lady implied that the current First Lady must look at her husband's behavior, especially on Twitter.
It's no secret that the U.S. president often posts offensive tweets. He was also accused of bullying the 16-year-old climate change activist Greta Thunberg.
Melania's Be Best Program is aimed at promoting the safety and well-being of children online. In promoting her initiative, Melania would also post anti-cyberbullying tips but Twitter users would often point out to her about her husband's posts.
In 2018, Melania said that she's surprised about the negative reactions to her Be Best Program. Despite this, the First Lady said she remains committed to tacking the issue for the sake of the children who need the protection. However, critics of the Trumps said that the First Lady has been quiet about the president's bullying online.
Clinton was also asked about what she makes of Melania's gesture when she tries to take her hands from her husband when they're out in public and holding hands. Clinton laughed at the question and said that she's the last person to be saying anything about someone else's relationship.
The former Secretary of State is making the press rounds because of the release of her documentary series. Hillary on Hulu. She opens up about her failed election campaign in 2016 and the challenges of her marriage to President Bill Clinton, who publicly admitted to his extra-marital affair while he was in office.
Meanwhile, the White House has yet to respond to Clinton's remarks about the Be Best Program. On Monday, Melania spoke at a State Department event for women about her Be Best initiative. She said that her program is also designed to tie nicely with programs about women.
The First Lady commended the special guests of the event, which consisted of 12 women from places like Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, China, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen and Zimbabwe, who received awards for providing positive support and guidance that shaped the well-being of children in their communities.
