Melania Trump has been more visible in recent months, and has consequently earned some criticism in the media, but according to The Federalist’s Bre Payton, the criticism is because Melania “exposes” the media as “a bunch of sexist bigots.”

On Thursday afternoon’s edition of Your World with Neil Cavuto on Fox News, host Neil Cavuto asked Payton if Donald Trump should make more frequent use of his spouse.

Payton agreed that he should, but then changed the subject to Melania’s Wednesday night interview with Sean Hannity.

“What is funny, since her interview with Sean Hannity, what’s gotten the most attention is her hair color,” she claimed, citing an article from The Cut.

Cavuto joked “I wrote that story,” and added, “That kind of stuff, whatever you make of it, is all part of covering the first couple, right?”

“The reason why she gets critical attention from the media is because she exposes them for what they are, which is a bunch of sexist bigots who will cover you in such a way that is extremely sexist and bigoted if you’re not ultra liberal and fall in line with everything they say and tell you,” Payton said.

She made this claim on the air of the same network that called Michelle Obama Barack Obama’s “baby mama,” and accused her of sharing a “terrorist fist jab” with her husband.

Payton went on to complain that “Since her tenure in office, she’s had no major cover on a magazine, which is astounding considering she’s a really beautiful fashion model.”

Twitter doesn’t seem to like Melania’s new dye job:

Remember when Scott Peterson died his hair blonde? They should check Melania’s trunk for a stash of cash as I think she’s getting ready to flee the country. pic.twitter.com/df2UqvC3YP

Did any other person notice Melania’s hair colour shift coincided with Cohen’s sentencing?

Melania forgot to wait until after she was in the witness protection program to use Donald’s hair dye.

Did Trump's hair monster crawl off his head and breed with Melania's hair? What in the actual fuck is on her head & why does it look like a longer version of Trump's … well, whatever the hell you call that thing on his head? https://t.co/BSEwUaZILt
