Melania sent demeaning statements about Mira Ricardel to a number of media outlets.

The classy way to handle a dispute with an employee is privately. Time for that, "I really don't care, do you?" jacket Melania. "Be Best!"

Quote:
A spokesperson for first lady Melania Trump took an extraordinary step on Tuesday afternoon: publicly calling for the job of National Security Council staffer Mira Ricardel.

“It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that [Mira Ricardel] no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” said spokesperson Stephanie Grisham in a statement sent to a number of media outlets.

That quote doesn't sound like bullying.

Well when your husband is the President and bullies people on a daily basis, I guess it’s time to find another platform.

What were the specific demeaning statements that FLOTUS purportedly made? Not really getting a story out this. The linked article makes no mention of anything other than the one statement made public, which you posted.

Well in my world, it is not considered classy to call for an employee to be fired on public media. Rather the classy, proper, and sensitive way to handle such a situation is in private with that employee, wouldn't you think?

It’s highly unusual for a first lady to publicly demand the firing of an administration staff member.

You didn’t answer the question. What were the demeaning comments that she purportedly made to a “number” of media outlets?
