While we thought Gigi Hadid's impression of Melania Trump at the 2016 American Music Awards last night was pretty hilarious, but it seems not everyone was in love with the co-host's mocking bit.
While hosting the musical show, the 21-year-old mocked Trump's RNC speech in which she plagiarized Michelle Obama's 2008 DNC speech.
The Victoria's Secret model told the crowd, “This is my Melania Trump impression. I have to get the face right." She then put on a heavy Eastern European accent and pulled a duck face, and said, “I love my husband President Barack Obama and our children, Sasha and Malia."
While much of the audience laughed at the impression, many of the viewers at home weren't so thrilled with the jabs at the future first lady.
Critics disliked Gigi's "racist" impression of the 46-year-old Slovenian native -- and thought the bit was "unacceptable.
Personally we thought the impression was pretty good, we just thought the writing needed to be better! Keep up the impression and get some better jokes!
