Apologize
How many death threats were made and how many sleepless nights did President Obama’s young daughters have because Melania Trump, like her husband, went on television and pushed the birther conspiracy? Juneteenth would be a good day for both Trumps to apologize. But they won’t.

prevnextLady, please. You and your husband promoted a birther conspiracy questioning the legitimacy of the first Black President. https://t.co/oZAM3scKhe

Current Parallels
prevnextMelania Trump worked w/out a work visa, used 'migration to bring her entire family to America, & has been silent for over 3 years as children were torn from their mothers @ the border. It's more than a a little rich for her to celebrate 'juneteenth'. Give us a break.

Framing
prevnextMelania Trump celebrates Juneteenth
“My dear citizens...”You really have to give her credit for trying, but still... eeeesh is this WEIRD!
- Why is she so far away?

She was a model after all
- Why is she alone?
Barron? or Ivanka?
- Why the fancy setting?

First Acknowledgment
prevHow sweet. But I can't seem to find any similar tweet last year on this date. Or any other Juneteenth that supposedly is so special. So be honest, Melania: did you really write this?
