Congressional Candidate Under Fire After He Called Melania Trump a “Hoebag”
On Monday, Mark Roberts, an independent candidate running to represent Oregon’s 2nd Congressional District tweeted a hateful, disgraceful comment that first lady Melania Trump is a “hoebag” and implied she is a prostitute.
Roberts claims came as a response to Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk who pointed out major differences between Melania’s White House staff and the staff of former first lady Michelle Obama and said the Trumps are getting by with a much smaller team.
He claimed Obama had 44 staffers working for her, while Melania only has five.
Mark Roberts tweeted on his verified account that Trump “works by the hour,” adding, “#thinkdirty #hoebag”
“Did you know the First Lady works by the hour? #thinkdirty #hoebag.”

It's one thing to dislike the President, but calling the First Lady a prostitute is too much and this congressional candidate should apologize. https://t.co/5gEXKyTwgA
