Fox News suddenly cares about how the media treats the first ladys attire

WEDNESDAY, AUG 30, 2017 4:04 PM EDT

Fox News says the media should leave Melania's fashion choices alone. That's not how they treated Michelle Obama

First lady Melania Trump rocked high-heel stilettos on her way to Texas Tuesday, where the president crowed about his crowd size near the flooded city of Houston. And her fashion choice raised some eyebrows on Twitter — good for a few laughs — but who cares. It’s Twitter, after all.

To Fox News, though, these critiques were the height of impropriety.

“You’d think the press would have more to worry about than what the first lady wears, but no,” Fox News host Tucker Carlson said on his show Tuesday night.

“I am not much of [a] huge feminist or anything . . . and yet here [the press] is judging a woman on her footwear. That sounds like the war on women to me,” he added.
