On Saturday afternoon, first lady Melania Trump sent out a tweet thanking all of those on the front lines fighting the coronavirus pandemic.
On behalf of the entire nation – thank you to all of the front line responders – especially nurses, doctors & volunteers- we thank & salute you for all that you are doing in these trying times. We will get through this as one country united! pic.twitter.com/Lxxx3L9ZgP

CNN White House correspondent Kate Bennett noted that the first lady had finally acknowledged doctors and nurses “after days of benign tweets/retweets.”
After days of benign tweets/retweets suggesting ideas for things to do while at home, @FLOTUS tweets acknowledgement and thanks to those on the front lines battling coronavirus. https://t.co/A222Z63X9I

Guess she missed this tweet from a couple of weeks ago:
FACT CHECK: FALSE. Was it just too hard for you to scroll back a couple of weeks? Were you just too lazy? Didn't care enough about being truthful? Or were you being deliberately dishonest and malicious? Since you're @CNN, I guess the latter. https://t.co/UCgxQQprLV

It’s like Melania Trump could visit a hospital to highlight a cuddle program for babies born addicted to drugs or alcohol and doctors and nurses would still walk out. Oh wait, they did.
One thing this Wuhan Virus has exposed is the shallowness of the Washington press
Briefing after briefing, tweet after tweet the Washington press embarrasses itself with petty and non-informative questions— Ron Woods (@ronjwoods) March 28, 2020

Where does CNN scrape up all these petty, mouth breathing, garbage reporters? It’s astounding.

The person who ends up looking small here isn’t Melania. It’s you.

Why are you people like this?

You really look pathetic when you tweet stuff like this.

Have no idea what your point is. Regardless, it seems like you're taking a hack shot, but it missed.

What's wrong with her trying to help people cope with the quarantine?

Nobody needs your snark. It helps nobody. Read your tweet and learn. All before the comma was unnecessary. Do better.

Don’t you have anything better to do than to tweet these gratuitous digs?
— American Jane (@AmericanJane) March 28, 2020
Hope the single RT and 14 likes was worth coming out as a clown.

Why did you tweet this?

Kate working hard to demonstrate why the Gallup polling data shows the public doesn’t like or trust the MSM

After days of attacking tweets based on pure partisan politics, Hillary Clinton has posted nothing praising healthcare.
But doesnt fit Kate's narrative

Nice job with the catty dig there, hack. Maybe Zucker will give you a better parking space.

Honestly don’t understand how reporters don’t realize how bad these constant attempts to take gratuitous shots at anyone remotely associated with Trump make them look… https://t.co/UrloOiiqyY

Either just ignore Melania’s tweet praising first responders or promote it. What is the point of throwing it a dig about her previous tweets?
It’s the kind of thing you expect from unhinged partisans, not journalists.
— (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) March 28, 2020
Because no one at CNN is allowed to break character, for any reason. Ever.

She’s also too lazy to search FLOTUS timeline making her criticism all the more weak and gratuitous. pic.twitter.com/aW1apZ3WaL

And Kate's feed is full of her tweets thanking the frontline personnel. Oh, wait, nevermind
— off2paradise (@off2paradise) March 28, 2020
This is the same CNN correspondent who thought it was a good idea to tweet this:
A text from a friend last night while watching @FLOTUS interview: “She’s Trump, just in a better-fitting suit.”
— Kate Bennett (@KateBennett_DC) October 13, 2018
Journalists really have seized the opportunity given by them to Twitter to show us who they really are.
