Liberals are all for female empowerment — unless you’re a Republican woman speaking at the RNC.
Melania Trump received a barrage of sexist slurs on Twitter before, during, and after her primetime speech on Monday. In less than 7 hours, liberals sent more than 1,000 tweets calling the former fashion model a “bitch,” “whore,” “plastic,” “slut,” and “bimbo,” according to Vocativ.
Overall, Melania received more than 146,000 tweets during this time period, many of which were complimentary at the time of her speech and also criticized her for plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s 2008 speech at the Democratic National Convention.
This is nothing new for conservative women. Sarah Palin was ruthlessly mocked and called sexist phrases after accepting the nomination for vice president in 2008. Laura Bush also experienced sexism during her time as first lady.
