Courtesy of The Hill:Now Melania Trump is addressing governors' spouses. She offers thoughts and payers to the victims and praises the students speaking out https://t.co/szBUkFmMdD— Meg Wagner (@megwagner) February 26, 2018
First lady Melania Trump on Monday said she was "heartened" to see students across the country speaking out following a school shooting in Parkland, Fla., earlier this month.
"I have been heartened to see children across this country using their voices to speak out and try to create change. They're our future, and they deserve a voice," the first lady said, addressing governors' spouses at a luncheon at the White House.
"Our continued thoughts and prayers go out to all who were affected by such a senseless act. As a parent, I cannot imagine the kind of grief a tragedy like that brings," she added.
Monday's appearance marked the first time she has addressed the shooting publicly. She offered her condolences on Twitter immediately after the shooting took place.
When I first heard this I thought that Melania was publicly disagreeing with her husband, but then the other day Trump suggested that he wanted stronger background checks and to do away with the "bump stocks" that were used in the Las Vegas massacre.
I don't believe him of course, because he pulled this same shit by promising to work on DACA and protect people's access to health care.
What I do know is that Melania is on a completely different side of this issue than Junior, who retweeted conspiracy theories about these kids.
That led to one of the Parkland kids reaching out to Melania on social media.Don Jr. has liked at least two tweets pushing content that attempts to discredit one of the most vocal student survivors of the Parkland school shooting. pic.twitter.com/YI9ANh5dlL— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) February 20, 2018
So maybe that got Melania's attention and that is why she is voicing support for these kids.Hey @FLOTUS you say that your mission as First Lady is to stop cyber bullying, well then, don’t you think it would have been smart to have a convo with your step-son @DonaldJTrumpJr before he liked a post about a false conspiracy theory which in turn put a target on my back— Lauren Hogg (@lauren_hoggs) February 23, 2018
Or this could simply be some Trump family double speak and she really could not care less.
Hard to tell really.
