Melania Trump Booed by Children at Youth Opioid Summit in Baltimore

One pool reporter described the scene as the loudest boos yet for the first lady at a public event.




First Lady Melania Trump was greeted with a chorus of boos from a large group of children on Tuesday when she was introduced to give a speech at the B’More Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness in Baltimore, Maryland.

The crowd, which already appeared somewhat restless, broke out into loud jeers (and a mix of cheers) when Mrs. Trump took the stage ahead of her speech.

After he lectured the crowd for a bit, Mrs. Trump took to the podium to deliver her prepared remarks, only to experience more sporadic booing and a general hum of commotion.

The harsh reception that the first lady received in Baltimore, even from children, comes after her husband President Donald Trump’s repeated description of the city as a rat-infested hellhole.

"urban youth have no respect", or some such tripe, when the real story is "high school students refuse to be used for propaganda".

So children do not have free speech? Guessing if an Ebstein came to speak, kids should applaud. It is their future, their lives her "owner" is poisoning for cash. The money grabbing ho has no credibility, and her Be Best shit is a joke. After all, " She really doesn't care, do you"? Those kids show more patriotism than 35 percent of so called adults. They are not glued to Fox and Limpballs so not yet brain washed. My generation was woke enough to demand Vietnam end. Because we were being drafted after high school to go die for Nixon. Kudos to those young people.

conservatives booing any Dem candidate or spouse of a candidate. They are children. Period. That's why adults limit things that they can do. They will be adults soon enough.

her,could it be she has no clue,or she is just plain clueless. My guess is,both. Associations with a clueless egomaniac has consequences.

Sounds like he was trying to shame the audience by connecting their booing to not caring about a dying loved one. They will stoop to anything.
