Melania Trump turns deepfake roundtable into partisan spectacle with swipe at Democrats

First Lady Melania Trump used a roundtable event about revenge and deepfake pornography to slam Democrats for not attending en masse.

Although several Democrats did attend the event on Monday, Trump took time out of her opening remarks to complain about other party members who did not show up.

"I'm here with you today with a common goal: to protect our youth from online harm," the first lady began. "I was heartened to learn that Senator Cruz and Senator Klobuchar united to prioritize this fundamental matter."

"I must admit, however, I expected to see more Democrats' leaders, with us here today to address this serious issue," she continued. "Surely, as adults, we can prioritize Americans' children ahead of partisan politics."

Trump concluded by encouraging Congress to pass the Take It Down Act, which would make posting deepfake and revenge porn a felony.

"This legislation is essential for addressing the growing concerns related to online safety, protecting individual rights, and promoting a healthier digital environment," she said.
