First Lady Melania Trump was greeted with a resounding chorus of boos when she was introduced at the Baltimore Youth Summit this morning. The boos apparently continued throughout her speech on the opioid crisis and again as she left the stage after giving her remarks (although to be fair, there also appeared to be a smattering of cheers).
And while the president has been razzed a LOT lately – at the World Series in D.C. and UFC 244 in NYC — this is the first time Melania has been booed publicly during a solo appearance.
Watch below.

CNN reports: “The heckling lasted for about one minute, according to CNN’s Kate Bennett, who was in the room. But the audience remained raucous, audibly speaking over her remarks throughout her brief speech to the B’More Youth Summit. … She was again loudly booed, and also cheered, as she departed the stage at the conclusion of her speech. This is the first time the first lady has been publicly booed at a solo event, though the Trump administration has had strained relations with the city of Baltimore.”
HA! More of this, please.
