As Twitchy told you yesterday, Melania Trump unveiled her new platform “Be Best.” For her troubles, vicious trolls with nothing better to do mocked her accent and “broken English.”
But it’s not really an immigrant-bashing party until April Ryan stops by:

White House correspondent April Ryan's xenophobic personal attack on First Lady Melania Trump: 'Not culturally America' https://t.co/JXsfvQMtg2

From the Washington Free Beacon:
CNN host Erin Burnett said that the first lady faces a “painful reality” by taking on cyber-bullying, referencing President Donald Trump’s tweets castigating his opponents. Ryan agreed that it was hard for the first lady.
“She’s well aware of his cyber-bullying,” said Ryan, the Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks. “He’s considered by some, well many I would say in different sectors, one of the biggest bullies. He will call you out in a moment’s notice and she stood in front of him and basically said she wants to show young people how it’s done and do it right and they will pick up those habits.”
…
“This is a first lady who is not culturally American, but she is learning the ways,” Ryan said. “This is not just an American issue. These are not just American issues. These are international issues. Cyber-bullying is an international issue. Social media is international and also the opioid addiction issue, so it’s not just here.”
Watch (via the Free Beacon):
Where’s the compassionate liberal uproar?
It is worth noting that the casual way Ryan suggests that Melania isn't culturally American is something that liberals regard as a dog whistle when conservatives say it about immigrants. https://t.co/7XmeSZii1M

Of course, the comment goes unremarked when it comes from Ryan on CNN.
