As we reported earlier, a former ‘friend’ of the First Lady Melania Trump, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was employed as one of Melania’s advisors in the White House, recorded conversations with her and then went on CNN with Anderson Cooper to play them for everyone to stick a knife in Melania’s back in an ‘October Surprise.’
Now, that’s pretty low of a ‘friend’ to do to promote a book — sell out a friend for money. But it’s also just as low for CNN to run it, doubtless thinking it helped their overall cause of hurting the Trumps. They should accord the Trump team equal time for their in-kind attempt to donate to the Biden campaign.
But imagine how desperate they are if this is all they can pull out at this point. As we noted, the Biden folks are desperately trying at the last minute to marshal canvassers in the field to get out and talk to people when the Trump team has been doing it for months.
But if the liberal media thought that this was going to make Melania Trump or the campaign look bad, they may just have miscalculated.
The tapes actually humanized the First Lady, to whom the media has never really given a fair shake. They actually give her a chance to explain some of the things media has unfairly said about her and also debunk a false liberal narrative that she’s not supportive of her husband.
Such as this hit job on her and on the President over ‘kids in cages,’ when they had no issue over the very same subject with Barack Obama and Barack Obama built the “cages” (not really cages, just large holding areas where kids/adults were initially taken.)
🧵Here's a thread of quotes in the #MelaniaTapes just aired by CNN. Tell me if you like her or hate her more.
1)" And they say 'oh what about the children that were separated.' Give me a f*cking break. Where were they when Obama did that?"

Most of the kids came unaccompanied, so you had to provide for them until you find proper guardians for them/have family pick them up.
2) On children at the border:
“They’re not with parents. It’s sad. But when they come here alone or with coyotes or legally, you know, they need to do something.”
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 2, 2020
That she wasn’t dismissive of the kids’ plight, that she actually tried to do what she could but she couldn’t interfere with the law or proper process.
3) Children on the border:
“I was trying to get the kids reunited with the mom. I didn’t have a chance. Needs to go through the process and through the law.”
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 2, 2020
4) On the media:
“They say I’m complicit. I’m the same like him. I support him. I don’t say enough. I don’t do enough.”
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 2, 2020
5) Every suburban mother around Christmas time:
“I’m working — my ass off at Christmas stuff that, you know, who gives a f*ck about Christmas stuff and decoration but I need to do it.”
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 2, 2020
But also she was saying that because she was saying she was more concerned about the kids’ issue than Christmas decorations.
Then there was this part where she speaks for all of us.
7) And lastly and my personal favorite:
“I am driving liberals crazy.”
— Greg Price (@greg_price11) October 2, 2020
The reaction? Most people said they loved Melania more when hearing it.
This literally makes me love Melania Trump even more. 🤣 She didn't say a single thing that's not true. Love it. But shame on her fame-seeking "friend" for betraying her privacy.

I didn’t think it was possible to like @FLOTUS more, but now I do after hearing her “friend’s” secret tape. She is a real person, doing a difficult job with grace and class while surrounded by sleazy enemies on the left, both hidden and open. Melania is awesome! pic.twitter.com/dZof2LuTFy

Melania Trump wanted to help the kids who were in detention facilities with no parents more than decorating for Christmas.
And she wore the "I really don't care jacket" to trigger the liberal media.
After listening to the leaked tapes, I love her more. #MelaniaTrumpTapes
