HLN host S.E.

“Over those years, Hillary became for me what she became for many women — the literal definition of 'Stand by Your Man.' While feminists trotted her out as a role model for strong women, all I saw was a woman who was humiliated time and again and, for reasons either personal or political, decided to take it,” Cupp wrote.

“Imagine if she’d left him. Gone would have been his baggage, but also some of hers. When she said things like 'I’ve always stood for women,' it might have actually been believable, had she not spent all those years defending her husband at the expense of his accusers,” she continued.

The host wrote that Clinton could have come across as more warm during her campaigns if she had chosen to leave her husband, saying that "instead, perhaps thanks to years of overcompensating for her uneasy role as feminist icon, her public persona was steely, aloof and defensive.”

“Melania Trump may not have a political career to consider. But as First Lady she is an inherently important figure in American politics. And women are watching,” Cupp wrote.

“Particularly young women. Melania should do for this generation of girls what Hillary did not do for mine, and leave her jerk of a husband,” she wrote.

Cupp's op-ed comes just days after adult-film star Stormy Daniels appeared on "60 Minutes" to talk about her alleged affair with Trump.

Former Playboy model Karen McDougal has also claimed she had an affair with Trump during his marriage to the first lady.

Trump has denied the allegations.
