White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders took aim at ABC gabfest “The View” on Friday after guest host Yvette Nicole Brown suggested that Melania Trump may have once been one of her husband’s “mistresses.”

The hosts were discussing the first lady’s recent interview with ABC News Chief National Affairs Correspondent Tom Llamas, in which she addressed reports about the “alleged infidelities” of her husband.

She was quoted as saying during the interview, “I am a mother and first lady,” “and I have much more important things to think about and to do.”

After listening to the first lady, Brown raised the question: “Is it possible that she’s not concerned with his mistresses because she was one of them?”

Sanders took to Twitter to fire back at what she termed “disgusting attacks.”

Sad @TheView continues their disgusting attacks on @FLOTUS. The left’s “war on women” they disagree with is a disgrace. @FLOTUS is strong, accomplished, and has a lot more class than the women who bully her

Brown tweeted out shortly after that she “stand(s) by every word” she said. “My mom taught me that respect is earned. And thankfully we live in a nation — at least for now–where I don’t have to bow down to dear leader or his third wife.”

After seeing Brown’s tweet, No host at the table, including Llamas, addressed Brown’s accusation.
