 Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer responded to President Trump's Twitter attack on Thursday by citing the first lady's "Be Best" initiative, which, in part, discourages cyberbullying.  "Senator Cryin' Chuck Schumer fought hard against the Bad Iran Deal, even going at it with President Obama, & then Voted AGAINST it!" Trump wrote on Twitter. "Now he says I should not have terminated the deal - but he doesn't really believe that! Same with Comey. Thought he was terrible until I fired him!"  Schumer simply responded, "#BeBest."  Melania Trump announced the launch of "Be Best" earlier this week.  In a forward to a pamphlet that outlines the ways parents can ensure their children exhibit positive social behavior, she writes, "I ask you to join me and commit to promoting values such as encouragement, compassion, and respect, both online and offline."  "The lessons in this booklet can help kids act thoughtfully and kindly. I hope you will use it to have conversations with children about appropriate conduct online and about using social media responsibly," Melania Trump further notes.
