First lady Melania Trump took a lot of backlash from the left for reciting The Lord’s Prayer at a campaign rally in Florida on Saturday.
But one television writer’s critique stood out as particularly offensive.
Geoffrey Thorne, a writer for “Law & Order” Criminal Intent,” likened Mrs. Trump to a mafia wife and painted her as complicit to whatever President Donald Trump does.
stop pretending she’s anywhere near being a victim. she’s a mafia wife. she made her deal. https://t.co/XaAkoPRc0P

Thorne was referring to others who tweeted that they felt sorry for Melania after, they believed, she twitched when the president touched her.
Literally even the slightest touch by that garbage monster makes her flinch pic.twitter.com/iCLTRbKvdj

Others pointed out that she flinched several times during the speech.
I believe FLOTUS hates POTUS, but she does the “flinch” several times without him touching here in this. @TheDweck https://t.co/lbfGTFqjiA

Regardless of the reason, several people found Thorne’s comparison to a mafia wife interesting considering a previous White House marriage many thought was based on convenience.
@GeoffThorne Odd how that doesn’t apply to Hillary. She stayed married to that shit-bag for power, and power only.

@GeoffThorne yeah, too bad we don’t have a true Camelot marriage in the White House…like Bill & Hillary

And it wasn’t the first time Thorne used the comparison.
Melania is the equivalent of a mafia wife. She gets NO pass. https://t.co/RsToKRbhAH
