Melania Trump's press secretary slams 'The View' for airing #FakeMelania segment: 'Shameful'

On The View Monday, the hosts broke down the conspiracy theory surrounding #FakeMelania that regained momentum over the weekend.

After photos of first lady Melania Trump appearing alongside President Trump in Alabama went viral, Twitter lit up with #FakeMelania as opinions, memes, GIFs and “photographic evidence” made the rounds.

But some on Twitter just aren’t buying it.

Meanwhile, on The View, co-host Joy Behar didn’t want to believe it — but after taking a closer look did admit that the photos from Alabama show someone with “a different shaped face,” and Sunny Hostin admittedly dug into the conspiracy for over an hour and also thinks there might be something to it.

“Melania is a very tall, statuesque woman,” Hostin said, then referenced the photos from Alabama: “Look how short she looks.”

After the segment aired Monday morning, Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s press secretary and communications director, took to Twitter to bash The View.

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. on ABC.
