The reaction is pouring in after Donald Trump’s racist tweet about LeBron James and CNN’s Don Lemon. The most surprising statement comes from the First Lady who is clearly contradicting her husband’s thoughts on the basketball superstar. Melania Trump’s spokeswoman told CNN:

“It looks like LeBron James is working to do good things on behalf of our next generation and just as she always has, the First Lady encourages everyone to have an open dialogue about issues facing children today. As you know, Mrs. Trump has traveled the country and world talking to children about their well-being, healthy living, and the importance of responsible online behavior with her Be Best initiative.”

“[The first lady’s] platform centers around visiting organizations, hospitals and schools, and she would be open to visiting the I Promise School in Akron.”

Another First Lady is also chiming in, another one of Trump’s favorite targets on twitter Hillary Clinton.

Trump’s tweet said, “Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!”

People speculated the Mike in question was Michael Jordan. Jordan’s spokesperson gave NBC a statement saying, “I support L.J. He’s doing an amazing job for his community.”

John Kasich, Governor of Ohio, where James just opened a school for at-risk children (his home state) also reacted to Trump’s tweet.

James’ new team, the Lakers also issued a statement saying:

“We could not be more proud to have LeBron James as part of our Lakers family. He is an incredibly thoughtful and intelligent leader and clearly appreciates the power that sports has to unite communities and inspire the world to be a better place. Those efforts should be celebrated by all.”

Several prominent people in the sports world are also coming to James defense.

As for James, he hasn’t responded to Trump’s message. It seems he is taking the high road. His only tweet today was about the kids his new school is helping.
