Melania Trump tweeted on Friday that there is “no reason for violence” following the death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died in Minneapolis after a white police officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes following an arrest.

“Our country allows for peaceful protests, but there is no reason for violence,” the first lady tweeted.

“I’ve seen our citizens unify & take care of one another through COVID19 & we can’t stop now. My deepest condolences to the family of George Floyd. As a nation, let’s focus on peace, prayers & healing.”

Melania Trump’s tweet urging against violence came hours after her husband Donald Trump referred to protestors in Minneapolis as “THUGS” and threatened to have the military shoot looters.

“These THUGS are dishonoring the memory of George Floyd, and I won’t let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the Military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you!” Trump wrote.

I can’t stand back & watch this happen to a great American City, Minneapolis. A total lack of leadership. Either the very weak Radical Left Mayor, Jacob Frey, get his act together and bring the City under control, or I will send in the National Guard & get the job done right…..

Shortly after the president posted his tweet, Twitter flagged it with a “public interest notice” which warned that the tweet “violated the Twitter Rules about glorifying violence.”

However, the social media company did not take down the tweet, saying was “in the public’s interest” for Trump’s tweet to remain accessible, though users can no longer reply, like, or retweet it.

Still, while we expected Melania to tweet about the riots, as she should, her response came off as hypocritical considering her husband’s tweet just a few hours earlier.

Don’t these two talk? Doesn’t Melania realize her husband is fanning the flames and making everything worse?

Twitter had some thoughts:

Your husband called a whole group of peaceful protesters “sons of bitches.” https://t.co/a7hwiGOEsi

Aaaand of course. Every single time things go to hell, they trot Melania out to say the opposite of what Trump has been saying. They do it to troll us and "trigger the libs." Every fuckin time. pic.twitter.com/iPLl6hh5YH

Go find your husband in the WH and tell him to stop threatening the shooting of Americans. Peace and healing starts with him.

Your husband just told white people to kill black people if they break a window.

Nobody gives a shit what racist birther Melania Trump has to say.

Fuck you. You and your husband called Colin Kaepernick an SOB when he protested peacefully for the same thing. So seriously fuck off and Be Best.

— Tony Posnanski (@tonyposnanski) May 29, 2020

Your husband, President Trump, mocked & taunted peaceful protest, and last night he advocated violence. #BeBest #AnyoneForTennis

Your husband called for the shooting of civilians in a tweet. Where’s the “no reason for violence” in that? Where’s the focus on “peace, prayers and healing” in that? Did you think about this tweet or was it another piece of textbook plagiarism ripped to fake sympathy, Melania? https://t.co/FBzg9uTSlC

Why then is your husband calling for shooting the looters. Do you agree. If you don't, could you have a word with him if you see him in the next couple of days?

— Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) May 29, 2020

With all due disrespect, shut the fuck up, Melania https://t.co/DgBPWoj31c

Your husband didn’t want peaceful protests either. pic.twitter.com/lZ1rqZ8elc

You guys criticized the peaceful NFL protests, too.
