Maria Bartiromo Has an Absolute Hissy Fit Because Vogue Put Kamala Harris on the Cover and Not Melania Trump

Oh Jesus, here we go again. Whenever a Democratic politician is on the cover of Vogue, the people on Fox News get their panties in a bunch and collectively scream “but what about Melania??”. You see, way back when, like 25 years plus, Melania Trump appeared in a few magazine editorials, due to who she was dating, and because of that, the right considers her a “supermodel” who should be on the cover of all magazines. But that’s not how it works.

Kamala Harris was recently on the cover of Vogue…but she didn’t even get the paper cover. You know, the magazine you buy at the newsstand. She was on the “digital copy” so the one you see online. And it was a beautiful photo:

One person who didn’t think the photo was so beautiful was Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo, who took issue with Kamala Harris landing a cover of Vogue before former First Lady Melania Trump. Never mind that Harris is the Democratic candidate for president and Melania is a sourpuss who hated being First Lady from 2017-2020, and has already made it known that if Trump wins again (God fucking forbid) that she will not be a “present” First Lady. She will show up for fancy events and fancy overseas trips but that’s it. She won’t live there, she will remain in NYC at Trump Tower, and if someone wants a White House Easter Egg Roll, you better find someone else to do it because Melania won’t.

On Mondayโ€™s episode of Mornings With Maria, the panel was discussing the vice presidentโ€™s most recent story with the magazine. On the cover โ€” Vogueโ€™s last before the election โ€” Harris was labeled the โ€œcandidate of our times.โ€

That cover, however, has been met with criticism for a variety of reasons. As noted on the show, the photoshoot for the magazine was on Oct. 7, the one-year anniversary of Hamasโ€™s attack on Israel. Yes, what happened on 10/7 in Israel was horrific. But we have an election in 3 weeks and we must proceed forward.

Additionally, Bartiromo called it โ€œridiculousโ€ that Trump has never been on the cover. Bartiromo squawked:

โ€œThey should be ashamed of themselves that they never put Melania Trump on the cover. Thatโ€™s my opinion. And the fact is she was a model, OK, and they refused to put Melania Trump on the cover even when she was first lady. And she was all the talk of the town when they got married. Hillary Clinton was at the wedding. Everybody was toasting Donald and Melania; and suddenly he announces he wants to run for president and then they become the pariah and sheโ€™s not allowed on any covers. Itโ€™s ridiculous.โ€

UGH. UGH. UGH. Yes, Melania Trump was a “model”. For a few years she took whatever jobs she could get in NYC. But she was unsuccessful. According to her former roommate, Matthew Ataian, Melania was getting ready to leave NYC when she happened to meet her meal ticket, Donald Trump. Once she met the Donald, Melania suddenly got some gigs. But only because Donald Trump got them for her…none on her own merit. This is no Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington or Paulina Porizkova. Melania was one of thousands of gorgeous tall Slavic girls who model and come to NYC every year hoping to be the next big thing. Had Melania not met her future husband, she’d be back in Europe married to some rich piece of Eurotrash, or even, god forbid, living back in Slovenia.

Kamala Harris is on the cover of Vogue because she is newsworthy. She belongs there. She’s a strong, beautiful and powerful woman who is on the cusp of being our next president. Melania doesn’t even campaign with her husband. Why would she ever warrant a cover? She has been asked to be in Vogue before, but she has always refused unless she was guaranteed the cover. She also didn’t want to do an interview. So Vogue told her to pound sand. Yes, she’s a pretty woman, and decades ago she worked for a few years as a model. That doesn’t give her the right to be on every fashion magazine. I can’t believe I even have to type this. The Trumps and MAGA people are just so freaking DUMB.
