because one of these ladies is the First Lady of the United States, while the other will never be getting close to the White House...

This is halfway in jest; I think the Republicans are wrong, of course.

Shouldn't Michelle have everything covered?
Melania, being a Presbyterian like Donald, is actually very conservatively dressed, is she not?

Right wingers said it was disgusting that she exposed so much flesh!

I was on another forum, newsgroup, whatever back in 2008 and I posted photos of first ladies going back to Mamie Eisenhower in gowns and dresses exposing as much or more.
But, of course, they weren't African-American.

A couple examples: Mamie, Jackie, Lady Bird, and Nancy
