She didn't say that until her recent interview. Her spokeswoman claimed from the get go that it had no meaning. Fred was wrong about saying she never came out and said that it was a message to her critics. She just did. 

I think the jacket was clearly a message to those criticizing her silence on the issue. At the time that was pretty obvious and her spokeswoman's claims were laughable. No doubt people probably said she was making it clear she didn't care about children, but I think the majority of the criticism was the poor optics of wearing it at all. 

She's not one of the most bullied people simply because there was a minute long video in which a rapper said he had a fictional sexual relationship with her. Her husband, the president, literally has tweeted dozens if not hundreds of insults about another first lady. When people are wearing shirts to a Presidential rally calling her a b**** or a c***, then we can revive this thread. 

Your assessment of both being wrong aside. POTUS explained why she wore it a while back; he could not have known this unless she had stated her reason for wearing it. 

She is cyber-bullied, no one can deny that and perhaps no one is done so more visibly. We shouldn't hold her husband's sins against her, but many do.
