WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Lady Gaga has joined the chorus of those criticizing Melania Trump days after the would-be first lady gave a speech decrying bullying online.
"@MELANIATRUMP to say u will stand for "anti-bullying" is hypocrisy
Your husband is 1 of the most notorious bullies we have ever witnessed," the pop artist tweeted.
Melania Trump's speech on Thursday was her first since her mangled address at the Republican National Convention in July, where she was criticized for plagiarizing a portion of a Michelle Obama speech.
Last week's speech drew fire from many people after Mrs. Trump dedicated a portion of it to call for less hostility on the Internet
Her husband, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has regularly used his Twitter account to launch personal attacks against people, including against one time rival Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi Cruz.
"There was a collective gasp across the nation going, 'Have you met your husband Donald?" said Alice Stewart, a former Cruz communications official on CNN's "The Lead" Thursday.
Lady Gaga, a Hillary Clinton supporter, founded an anti-bullying non-profit with her mother called the Born This Way Foundation.
Trump has said as first lady one of her principal causes would be to campaign against cyber-bullying.
