First lady Melania Trump’s office has released a blistering statement about the top deputy to national security adviser John Bolton, saying Mira Ricardel “no longer deserves the honor” of serving the White House.
“It is the position of the Office of the First Lady that she no longer deserves the honor of serving in this White House,” Melania Trump’s communication director Stephanie Grisham said in a statement directed toward Ricardel.
Genuine question, has this ever happened before?
Melania entered the political fray? Is she fair game for Media?
My thoughts are by going public with an official press release prior to one being fired, stating they do not deserve to serve in the WH, well she has entered the fray

I do not know. But to put out such a press release, well I doubt it has occurred previously

Imagine the squeals from the Right, if this was Michelle Obama who got the National Security Adviser fired over a squabble she had with her while flying to Africa. But, of course, since this is Melania, the Reicht will blame the Dep NSA.
Yet Ricardel had frequently clashed with Defense Secretary Jim Mattis while leading President Trump’s transition, current and former officials told The Washington Post last month, and her reemergence at the White House prompted suspicion at the Pentagon that she was undermining Mattis.
Three current and two former White House officials said Tuesday that Ricardel had berated people in meetings, yelled at professional staff, argued with the first lady and spread rumors about Mattis.

If Michelle Obama acted like Melanoma , the far right would be screeching for her arrest. Oh wait - they screeched over EVERYTHING Michelle said or did. Remember the outrage over her sleeveless dress. The far right called her a whore for exposing her shoulders. And now they praise the porn pictures of Melanoma. Hypocrites much?
She entered the political fray a long time ago with the whole "Cyber Bullying" thing with her Husband being a key cyber bully. She's been fair game ever since, so I disagree this is the first time she has been free game.

Yes I saw the hypocrisy, and let that slide. Now, fair game she entered the fray, free, clear and willingly

While I agree when the first time she was politically free game, I agree that she is free game today. And to think, the right attacked Michelle Obama because of what she wore and now complain about Melania being attacked for her ACTUAL comments.
To my knowledge, First Ladies have taken strong policy positions going back to at least Eleanor Roosevelt. But calling for the removal of someone in an important office of the Executive branch before the President or Spokesperson has had a chance to speak on the matter? That's a new one on me.
To answer the thread question, the First Lady is always fair game proportionate to how she comports herself.
Fair game. The Trump family is NOT entitled to jack****. Nor were the Clintons. Nor were the Bush's. Nor are the Obamas.
The line between the Trump family and the official White House has been blurred by Trump since day one. No president in recent times has been involved more in nepotism than President Vagina-Grabber, Bone Spurs, Stable Genius.
Something the Trump family does not understand and apparently will not accept is that if you are going to dance to the music you have to pay for the piper.
Melania doesn't get to skate. But it is good to see her true colors fly. I am not surprised. The whole family now seems to be going full authoritarian.
Why would she need to put out a press release on this. Can't she just walk over to her husband and talk to him about it? Did she talk to him and he didn't do anything or said no?
Weird, but with this pile of dog **** administration, not surprising.
Till now, and the feeding frenzy will be something to watch and see. Needless to say she will be asked about this when she has a presser. Be interesting to hear the response
Until the time comes when only Fox News and Breitbart are permitted at press conferences. When that day comes Melania won't be asked jack and President Stable Genius will only field soft balls.
