How me-me-me-Melania turned herself into the real victim of attack on the Capitol | Arwa Mahdawi

Melania Trump was inspired to see such passion and enthusiasm' around the elections and saved her ire for the unwarranted personal attacks' on her in the press. It's typical behaviour for snowflake Trumpers

Melania Trump was fiddling with furniture when the Capitol was stormed. While pro-Trump rioters were bludgeoning a police officer to death, she was reportedly overseeing a photoshoot of her rugs. As the mayhem escalated, aides asked her if she would release a statement urging calm. But, no, White House sources told CNN, the first lady was firmly focused on her photo project; it seems she hopes to release a coffee table book about all the lovely decorative objects she has collected. As for everything else going on, CNN reports, she was completely checked out".

Well, it looks like Melania has checked back in and she wants us to know the real victim of the 6 January attack on the US Capitol was herself. On Monday she issued a bizarre statement about the riots; while she vaguely condemned the violence she also wrote how inspiring" it was to see such passion and enthusiasm" about the election. What was really shameful", however, was the way she was treated. Surrounding these tragic events there has been salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me - from people who are looking to be relevant and have an agenda," she said. As usual, it's hard to understand exactly what Melania is going on about. However, the consensus seems to be that she's upset about the media reporting on her mid-insurrection photoshoot.
