Laura Coates Reads Melania Trump’s Statement on Ensuring Fairness in Women’s Sports While Respecting the Rights of the LGBT+ Community and Women

TRANSCRIPT:

COATES: "You know what I'm going to do? I've never done this. I‘m gonna end this segment with the First Lady‘s words. Melania Trump weighed in on this ruling and she wrote this: 'America, we can support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community and also protect opportunities for female athletes. Respect everyone and keep girls' sports fair. Both ideals are essential.' She‘s given some public comments. We'll see how that plays into the politics of all this. We rarely hear from her on the substantive issues."
