With just five days to go until President Donald Trump leaves the White House, first lady Melania Trump decided to once again tout the purported success of her signature "Be Best" anti-cyberbullying campaign.
"As the legacy of #BeBest comes to a close at the White House, we must continue to give a voice to our Nation's children & the issues that impact their lives," the first lady wrote on Twitter.

At a "Stop the Steal " rally on Jan.6th, Brooks shouted to the crowd, "Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass" before they later stormed the halls of Congress, menaced lawmakers and left five dead including a Capitol police officer who was reportedly bludgeoned to death.
