You are probably joking but this news actually hit me very hard. I was a big proponent of her activism, you know that "be best" campaign. I was really following it. I thought, you know, "ok so maybe her husband is a scumbag but if enough people follow this motto "be best" maybe we'll actually accomplish something and show him what Melania taught us". So I went to the web page "bebest.gov" and I met some people and we were all being activists about it. But now that I see that she is not being her best just broke my heart. As well as my belief in humanity.
I can't believe I was that stupid to believe her!!

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
