MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said early Tuesday that first lady Melania Trump's anti-bullying initiative will be seen in the future as an example of President Trump's hypocrisy.

Scarborough said on "Morning Joe" that the first lady's decision to take on cyber bullying is "interesting," given her husband's behavior on social media.

"That's a curious thing to be doing," Scarborough said, referencing President Trump's attacks on Sen. Bob Corker Robert (Bob) Phillips CorkerHas Congress captured Russia policy?

Scarborough said Melania Trump has been mostly quiet as her husband uses social media to criticize opponents.

"Historians will look back at this initiative, and they will say, 'Want to see something that really encapsulated the hypocrisy of the Trump presidency? This would be a good place to start,'" Scarborough said.

"The first lady actually going out and having the audacity to talk about anti-bullying when she is living with the biggest bullier in the history of the White House."

Scarborough continued to go after President Trump, saying if someone can't be trusted with the small things, they won't be trusted on the larger issues either.

Melania Trump earlier this week visited a Detroit middle school to kick off her anti-bullying campaign as part of the nationwide "Week of Inclusion" and "National Bullying Prevention Month."

She encouraged students to take part in the anti-bullying #NoOneEatsAlone campaign.
