Stephanie Grisham, First lady Melania Trump’s spokeswoman slammed “The View” hosts Tuesday after they devoted time on the show to attack Melania Trump over a resurfaced body double conspiracy.
“I’ve always found it sad that a group of women spend so much time attacking another woman, whose only goal is to help children,” Grisham wrote.
”Yesterday’s show went beyond the petty, mean-girl spirit that we’ve grown accustomed to.”
“People died, people lost family, people are hurting in Alabama,” she added.
“I watched the president and first lady hug, listen to, and comfort people who had lost everything – and the ‘ladies’ of The View instead chose to laugh and joke about a body double conspiracy.”
Grisham continued, “They really should consider devoting that air time to helping people.”
On Monday, the first lady’s spokeswoman tweeted to the ABC daytime talk show, calling it “shameful” that they had dedicated time to “laugh” at the conspiracy about the first lady after President Trump and FLOTUS traveled to the tornado-ravaged area of Alabama to comfort those who lost loved ones in the storm.
“@flotus & @potus traveled to Alabama to pay their respects & comfort victims of the tornado devastation. In typical fashion, @theview chooses to laugh in the face of tragedy. Shameful,” Grisham wrote on Twitter.
The headline from “The View” read, “FAKE MELANIA CONSPIRACIES RETURN: The internet is buzzing again with theories that first lady Melania Trump is using an impostor to stand in for her — the co-hosts investigate,” along with a clip from the show Monday.
During the episode, the co-hosts had a few laughs about the conspiracy. At one point, Joy Behar said that the reason a rumor like this can catch on at all is because “there is an element of truth to the idea that she [Melania] doesn’t want to spend time with him [Trump].”
