The Daily Beast chief content officer Joanna Coles said former first lady Melania Trump may have shown off her nude photos to get men to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump.
Melania came out in support of abortion legalization in her new memoir by stating that it is “imperative” that women have the right to bodily autonomy.
Coles took a jab at the former first lady by claiming on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Melania may have spoken to young male voters with her nude photos during her time as a model to get them to vote for her husband, as the panel argued that most of these men do not align with Trump on abortion.

“I don’t know if this makes any difference in terms of the election or the grander scheme of things, but it is worth pointing out that one of the most pro-choice groups in the United States at the moment is young men under the age of 40 who have actually turned out in all of those referendums that we’ve had in Kentucky, Kansas and Ohio,” panelist Katty Kay said. “They’ve actually turned out to defeat restrictions on abortion. I don’t know if Melania is talking to those young men particularly, she may be talking just to their wives, but she’s in line where most of the United States is and all the polling shows where the population is. She’s just not particularly in line where her husband’s politics are.”
“Well she might have been speaking to those young men with her naked pictures when she did the new photoshoots in GQ,” Coles said.
WATCH:
A Pew Research survey found that 61% of men believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, and 76% of Americans ages 18 to 29 support the legalization of abortion.

Trump has taken a moderate stance on abortion by opposition a national ban and opposing strict bans or restrictions, including Florida’s six-week ban. The former president told NBC News he will vote against a November Florida ballot initiative that intends to expand access to abortion.
The Republican nominee further opposed an 1864 law in Arizona that bans all abortions except in instances where the mother’s life is at risk. He has also come out in support of exceptions for rape, incest and the mother’s life.
Trump has angered some pro-life groups due to his opposition to a national abortion ban and instead believing that abortion laws should be left up to the states.
