Baldwin alluded to the First Lady’s recent statement on separation of children from their parents. The statement issued on her behalf by her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham had said Melania “hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform”.
In a follow-up tweet, Baldwin posted another tweet with a picture with Melania and said: “We have a chair waiting for you in the @nbcsnl make-up room.”

People also joined Baldwin as Melania received backlash from people for the contradiction between her statement and what was written on the back of her jacket.
In her defence, Donald Trump had said Melania learnt about “fake news media” and her jacket was on purpose for those people, while her spokesperson clarified that her jacket didn’t mean anything.
