In honor of Juneteeth, FLOTUS shares a video of her reading 'All Different Now' by Angela Johnson, a story of Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the end of slavery, through the eyes of a young girl.

AceShowbiz - Melania Trump took to her social media account to honor Juneteeth on Friday, June 19. In her post on both Instagram and Twitter, she shared a video of her reading "All Different Now" by Angela Johnson, a story of Juneteenth, a day that celebrates the end of slavery, through the eyes of a young girl. Additionally, she talked about her trip to Ghana where she visited the House of Slaves.

"Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the end of slavery in the U.S. In honor of today, I would like to share the story 'All Different Now' by Angela Johnson, which sheds a light on the first Juneteenth through the eyes of a young girl," so she captioned the post.

Instead of praises, the post earned FLOTUS criticism as many perceived it as insensitive considering her past support of the racist "birther" conspiracy theory against former President Barack Obama. At that time, Melania alongside her husband Donald Trump questioned Barack's eligibility to be president as they accused Barack of not being born in Hawaii but in Africa instead.

"Hey guys quiet down the birther is here to lecture us about the importance of Juneteenth," one critic blasted Melania on Twitter. "Melania Trump aka Melania Knauss has lied about her entire life and stood by Donald Trump during every racist statement he has made or racist action he has taken," someone else added. "She will be remembered as the worst and most disgusting first lady in history."

"Ok, birther. We believe your sincerity. We know you didn't really traffic in the racist birtherism conspiracy theories?" another naysayer chimed in. "This ignorant b***h right here...I mean...I can't with her tone-deaf idiocy," one other posted.

"It's so painful to watch Donny, Melania and Republicans try to pretend that Black Lives Matter to them. I'm surprised their heads don't explode," another user tweeted. Meanwhile, one person suggested Melania to "read the room."
