Melania Trump has finally spoken out about the riot that infiltrated the U.S Capitol last week, and in a disappointing yet unsurprising message, laid no blame on her husband for the scene. The first lady spoke out against violence in her official statement, but failed to recognize the implications of her husband, President Donald Trump’s, calls to action that instigated the incident.

In her official statement, Trump wrote that she feels, “disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week,” before making a bid for Americans to, “stop the violence, never make assumptions based on the color of a person’s skin or use differing political ideologies as a basis for aggression and viciousness.” Nowhere in this statement was there an acknowledgement of the President’s actions that led to the riot in question.

Prior to the dramatic raid of the Capitol, President Trump made a bold speech, outlining conspiracies that the 2020 election was not rightfully won by President-elect Joe Biden, and calling for his supporters to “fight like hell,” before instigating them to march to the Capitol to remedy the situation.

The first lady seemed frustrated that people were looking to lay blame on her family following the invasion of the Capitol, writing, “I find it shameful that 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.”

Following the riot, The House of Representatives is expected to call for a second impeachment of President Trump that would address his culpability in the “incitement of insurrection,” reported ABC News.
