Gaines made an appearance with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, where they spoke about the First Lady.
“I think English is either Melania’s fifth or sixth language and I think she’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met,” Hannity said.
“On top of being a top model.”
Gaines was in full agreement, and shared her own praise of the First Lady.
“She’s the paragon of style and grace,” Gaines said.
Gaines has been a massive supporter of the Trump family while she feuds with Olympian Simone Biles.
Biles first fired off against Gaines on social media for her stance against trans athletes in sports.
“@Riley_Gaines_ You’re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,” she wrote.
“You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports.
“Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead… You bully them…
“One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”
Biles later used a less aggressive tone, but wouldn’t change her opinion about supporting trans athletes.
“These are sensitive, complicated issues that I truly don’t have the answers or solutions to, but I believe it starts with empathy and respect. I was not advocating for policies that compromise fairness in women’s sports,” Biles wrote.
“My objection is to be singling out children for public scrutiny in ways that feel personal and harmful. Individual athletes—especially kids—should never be the focus of criticism of a flawed system they have no control over.
“I believe sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition.

“We all want a future for sport that is fair, inclusive, and respectful.”
Biles even apologized to Gaines for attacking her on social media.
“I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport,” Biles wrote.
“The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.”
