Melania Caught Red Handed Lying About Knowledge Of January 6th

Melania Trump is claiming that she didn't realize the Capitol Riot was taking place on January 6th because she was too busy photographing a rug that apparently was more captivating than an attack on the government. But we already know this is a lie because her former aide Stephanie Grisham has the receipts showing that Melania refused to issue a statement about what was happening. Farron Cousins explains what's going on.

During an interview with Fox news this week, Melania Trump, the former first lady of the United States was caught in a lie. She claimed that she had no idea what was happening on January 6th, of course, during the capital riot, because she was just so darn busy photographing a rug. Now it's not that the rug was exceptionally captivating to her. It's that Melania claims, and this is actually lie. Number one. So technically she lied twice, but anyway, lie, number one, she said, it's the job of the first lady, you know, to catalog and take inventory of everything in the white house before we leave. So I was, I was just doing that right. And I said, I was like, Hey, gotta gotta count the rug here. So I'm taking pictures of the rug and I, I had no idea there was a riot happening. Okay. So line number one, that it was her job as first lady, which is explicitly what she said to catalog the contents of the white house.

That's not true. There's actually a white house curator and, uh, the, the white house historical association, uh, who do that. So, no, it was not your job as first lady of the United States, as you claimed to catalog the contents of the white house before you left. So there's the first part of the lie that it was your job to do these things? No, it wasn't. Second part of the lie is that you said you had no idea this was going on. You're totally in the dark. You're just focusing on the carpets. You're looking down the whole time. Nope, Nope, Nope. See, we already knew this was a lie before you even said it because of a person named St uh, Stephanie Grham, who actually was not only your good friend at the time, but she was also serving basically as your chief of staff, she was running your office and she not only told the January 6th committee, but also has revealed the actual text message in screenshots to the world via Twitter that you said no.

When she asked if you wanted to issue a statement, condemning the riots. So you lied about not having knowledge of them. You lied about it being your job to take pictures of carpets. So what else is Melania Trump lying about from that day? Right? I, I, I, I think the public deserves answers to that. I think when the, uh, select committee comes back and holds more of these hearings in September, I think maybe it's time we talk to Melania because clearly she can't keep her story straight. Clearly she is lying to the public as she did again, twice, at least in this Fox news interview with this one simple statement of hers, she knew what was going on, much like her husband, she refused to condemn it and then tried to busy herself. What I'm assuming would be following around the white house curator, who was actually doing the things that Melania Trump claims that she herself

Was doing. So, yes, it's time. We get some answers from Melania it's time, the public hears directly from her as part of these hearings so that we can determine just what exactly was going on that day. I mean, after all, there's been, you know, some pretty serious accusations against her from Stephanie Grham saying she didn't wanna respond to the riot. So let's give Melania the opportunity to correct the record if there is in fact a record to correct, but the receipts don't lie. It shows that Melania Trump was in fact aware of what was happening and that she refused much like her husband for 187 minutes to condemn what was taking place outside the capital. Melania Trump, as I have frequently said over the years is no different from the rest of the Trump family, just because she wasn't born into it doesn't mean she isn't just as horrible as all of these other family members. And every time she comes out there and lies to us, once again, publicly just further makes that point for us. She's just as bad as all the others.
