People there's instances of hate speech everywhere in this day and age. Whether it is Russian bot accounts or the president of the United States' twitter feed. The first lady, Melania Trump, has taken this up as her cause, but there's so much hate speech going around the internet that this cause is quite laughable at best. Especially considering her husband is the biggest cyber bully of them all - Donald Trump. And he regularly talks to the second biggest cyber bully of them all, Alex Jones.
