If the left didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any at all.
Case in point: They love to claim they support women, giving us advice on how to lift each other up, not tear women down. Back in 2022 at the Power Women Summit, Hillary Clinton called for empathy and respect among women, encouraging women to “lift each other up.”
But that never applies to republican or conservative women. And now that President Trump and First Lady Melania are back in the White House, that rule of theirs to “lift up women” is out the door, again.
First target of attack is Melania Trump. From the women’s magazine, Vogue (via Todd Starnes’ tweet):
“Melania Trump Cosplays The Apprentice in Her Official White House Portrait,” read the snarky headline. Writer Hannah Jackson blasted Mrs. Trump’s power pose, her wardrobe and the black & white image photographed by Régine Mahaux.
“Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of The Apprentice than assuming the role of first lady of the United States,” Jackson wrote. “Trump’s clothing certainly didn’t help the boardroom pastiche. The first lady wore a black Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo jacket with satin-trimmed lapels over a white button-up, which she paired with a Ralph Lauren cummerbund and trousers,” the writer sneered. “The choice to wear a tuxedo—as opposed to a blazer or blouse—made Trump look more like a freelance magician than a public servant.”
Next up for attack: Former Governor of South Dakota and current Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.

Kristi went on some ICE raids and MSNBC host (and racist) Joy Reid had some thoughts about how to “uplift” the Secretary. From RealClearPolitics:
MSNBC Joy Reid on ICE raids: “Reckless and also, I mean, as I’ve said, performative. I mean, I want to show you an image of Kristi Noem, the — who was just confirmed, the former governor who was confirmed as a Department of Homeland Security. I mean, it’s as if she’s cosplaying. It’s almost a game where she seems to be cosplaying as, I’m not sure what she thinks that she’s portraying here. She might as well be at Comic Con looking like this.”
Apparently the media all received the “cosplay” talking point memo about Kristi. See here, here, here and here.
The democrats didn’t learn a darn thing from last year’s election of President Trump. Americans voted for him for a radical change from the disasterous four years under Biden.
And we welcome and applaud the strong women he has chosen to lead in his administration. You can try tearing down these women all you want, democrats. We’ll continue to lift them up and be very proud of them!
