Microsoft President Brad Smith on Melania Trump's 'Be Best' visit: 'We'll partner where we can'
In the months since First Lady Melania Trump announced that her advocacy would center on cyberbullying, she's faced criticism because of the tone President Trump often takes online. But that dissonance didn't discourage Microsoft President Brad Smith when, a little over a week ago, the White House asked if the First Lady could visit the company's headquarters as part of a three-state tour for her "Be Best" campaign.
Asked whether President Donald Trump's online behavior gave him pause about Melania Trump's visit, Smith said, "We've always said that we'll partner where we can, we'll stand apart where we should."
"We have days when we disagree with this administration, just as we've had days where we've disagreed with other administrations, but today was a day where we could stand together to underscore an important message," he added.
The First Lady visited Microsoft's Redmond headquarters Monday to learn about the company's online safety and accessibility tools. The trip followed a visit to an elementary school in Tulsa, Okla., Monday morning. The Be Best campaign is designed to raise awareness about children's well-being on and offline and the opioid epidemic.

Does that mean she's going to muzzle her husband?
