So much for Melania's cause to stop public bullying
In the "Wacko-World" of NeverTrumpers, calling out a bully becomes another form of bullying.

. Mrs. Trump felt she had treated her staff disrespectfully, White House sources said, and Ricardel was seen as so difficult during the planning of the trip, according to sources, that the first lady’s team sought Kelly's guidance. ............

really? the official spokesperson for the FLOTUS makes an official statement on behalf of the FLOTUS..... and you think there's the possibility this could be a rogue action on the part of grisham that's completely ignored by the WH?

Yeah it is -- when you go public like that. She came after the woman with her position and power.

Rumor is she's never even met the woman.

That's fascinating.

It is not the role of the First Lady to speak out against staff her husband has hired.

If she has concerns, she should talk to her husband about them and keep her big mouth shut.

Not professional and most definitely bullying tactic. It is meant to insult, hurt and demean the woman.

It's nasty, bitchy, etc.

And as I said before -- apparently she's never met the women face to face so Melania's issue seems to be based on rumors, gossip OR policy that Melania didn't like.....

What you are offering is your personal opinion of what happened, and your personal opinion of what kind of woman Melania Trump is.

I've chosen to stick to what information we know so far. So it's no big surprise that we disagree.

and was it professional for Hillary and Obama to stand there and not only lie to the public telling us, it was merely a protest, when they were attacking our men in Benghazi....? Telling us, that it was in protest over some cartoon that an American had published?

Melania can say anything she wants, just like anyone else....and talk about nasty and bitchy, some of the looks Michelle gave her husband, were also nasty and bitchy....so...people are people, just b/c you hate someone, doesn't make you right and them wrong....poop happens.

and the things that those on the Clue, I mean View have said against them is just down right snarky and ugly...they should be ashamed of themselves....

just b/c ya'll lost the election...and that's what it's about....winning....everyone gets a prize, well not in this race they didn't.

Well that's your opinoin -- lol. I know it is -- I'm just using the rather lazy comment someone else posted in objection to my post.

First -- Benghazi cannot be used every time somebody in this family or administration does something wrong. It's a ridiculous tactic to bring up someone else's past wrongs to justify someone's inappropriate behavior.

It does not give them a pass on being decent people.

Melania can definitely say whatever she wants but she's a hypocrite to publicly demean someone working for
her husband (not her). There is a way to behave like an adult.

And then we jump to The View...okay --I never even talked about The View....so not sure what The View has to do with this -- lol.

What winning, getting a prize -- my goodness.

I can't keep up - -you have about a dozen things going on in that thread and none of them speak to the inappropriateness of any wife speaking out against someone their husband is working with.

Not her place.
Not her job.
Yes she said it or Grisham wouldn't have released a statement.

Grisham issued a statement from the Office of the First Lady.
So you keep waiting to hear from the official source.

Not her job,
not her place,
and is totally a bullying tactic.

I'm not waiting on anything. An official WH press release has been made. The security advisor has been fired. The reasons why this happened have been reported on. There's probably more going on behind the scenes that I don't know about, but I'm not going to make as jerk of myself by posting as if I do. *shrug*
