Melania Trump called Oregon congressional candidate Mark Robert’s comments likening her to a prostitute “disturbing and despicable.”
“This is just more hypocritical intolerance from those who oppose her husband’s administration. To say such ugly words about a mother, wife and our First Lady is not just a pathetic attempt at getting himself in the news, it is disturbing and despicable,” the first lady’s spokesperson Stephanie Grisham said in a statement to CNN.

Roberts tweeted Monday a response to a post from Turning Point USA president Charlie Kirk that noted the difference between the size of Michelle Obama’s staff when she was first lady and Melania’s. It pointed out that the first lady has five staffers vs. Obama who had 44 when she was FLOTUS.
“Did you know the First Lady works by the hour? #thinkdirty #hoebag,” the candidate tweeted.
