Melania Trump delivered [a speech](http://time.com/4556902/melania-trump-donald-first-lady-social-media/ "undefined") on Thursday about how she’d make it her mission to end cyber-bullying should she become first lady. Her declaration immediately drew [criticism](http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/11/03/melania-trump-wife-of-a-bully-promises-she-d-be-tough-on-bullying-as-flotus.html "undefined") as she failed to reference her husband’s own [online bulling tweets](http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/01/28/upshot/donald-trump-twitter-insults.html "undefined") — directed at his political opponents, fellow Republicans, foreign leaders, members of the media and anyone else who seemingly [bothers him](http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/07/politics/donald-trump-rosie-odonnell-feud/ "undefined"). Therefore on Sunday, Gaga, an [anti-bullying advocate](http://www.mtv.com/news/1680176/lady-gaga-launches-born-this-way-foundation-harvard/ "undefined"), called out the potential first lady’s “hypocrisy” on Twitter. “Your husband is 1 of the most notorious bullies we have ever witnessed,” Gaga tweeted at Trump. > [](https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/795344556908683264) > [](https://twitter.com/ladygaga/status/795330385458532352) The _Joanne_ singer has made it [no secret that she’s supporting Hillary Clinton](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/lady-gaga-celebrates-hillary-clinton-with-a-patriotic-swimsuit%5Fus%5F57580ccee4b0e39a28abf363 "undefined"), changing her Twitter name to #VoteHillary and frequently sharing praise for the Democratic presidential nominee. Gaga even made a political fashion statement on Sunday to show her love for Clinton. The singer wore a suffragette-inspired gown and a topper that included a “Vote” button through a Tokyo airport. She also shared a photo of the outfit on Snapchat, with the caption, “Corsets off, ladies.” [New York _Magazine_](https://rampages.us/oliviapryor/category/gilman/ "undefined") and blogger Julia Frankes suggested the wardrobe choice and caption was a veiled reference to 19th century feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman, who [advocated for women to do away with the restrictive garment](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-dreier/charlotte-perkins-gilmans-radical-feminism-still-challenges-us-today%5Fb%5F9568134.html "undefined"). > [](https://twitter.com/bunnyBISOUS/status/795416712472629248) \[[CNN](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-dreier/charlotte-perkins-gilmans-radical-feminism-still-challenges-us-today%5Fb%5F9568134.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4560523/lady-gaga-melania-trump-hypocrisy/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4560523/lady-gaga-melania-trump-hypocrisy/"},"headline":"Lady Gaga Calls Out Melania Trump For 'Hypocrisy'","datePublished":"2016-11-07T18:05:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:03:47.305Z","description":"'Your husband is 1 of the most notorious bullies we have ever witnessed'","url":"https://time.com/4560523/lady-gaga-melania-trump-hypocrisy/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt99bcfdd2216dd78a/6988ad5a196cf4677f03ddf0/lady-gaga-voting-suffragette-outfit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Cooney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-cooney/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt99bcfdd2216dd78a/6988ad5a196cf4677f03ddf0/lady-gaga-voting-suffragette-outfit.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Lady Gaga Sighting In Tokyo","caption":"Lady Gaga Sighting In Tokyo","creditText":"Jun Sato—GC Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4560523/lady-gaga-melania-trump-hypocrisy/","name":"Lady Gaga Calls Out Melania Trump For 'Hypocrisy'"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Melania Trump Says She’ll Fight Cyber-Bullying as First Lady","description":"In a rare campaign speech, Melania Trump said that one of her key issues as First Lady would be to combat cyber-bullying","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/iW2WKRtc/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2016-11-03T19:42:09.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/iW2WKRtc.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4560523/lady-gaga-melania-trump-hypocrisy/","duration":"PT40S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4560523/lady-gaga-melania-trump-hypocrisy/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
