Nia-Malika Henderson on Melania: ‘She’s Trump’s Biggest Defender’ on #MeToo, Birtherism

EXCERPT:

HENDERSON: “I mean, she's all over the place there saying she supports women but supports the men. She probably believes what Don, Jr. believes, which is that there is this attempt to get men. And obviously, her husband, she might think, is also a victim of this #MeToo culture. I think it was 13 women, so far, have accused him of sexual harassment, of sexual assault -- any number of infractions. And, you know, the interesting thing -- I think the follow-up question to her would be well, what about these 13 women who've said these number of things about your husband? What do you think about that? So, you know, I think what's also interesting about her is we often think that she is, in some ways, out to poke her husband, independent from her husband. But I think in the main areas, whether it's birtherism, whether it's #MeToo, whether it's that 'ACCESS HOLLYWOOD' tape, she has been his biggest defender and I think we see that there in that interview."
