Yesterday, NBC News presidential historian Michael Beschloss wondered aloud why Melania Trump hadn’t weighed in on last week’s violence at the Capitol:
Where is the outgoing First Lady?

Joy Reid reminded him that Melania just doesn’t care:
She really doesn't care, remember? Last we checked she was photographing rugs while the capitol fell. https://t.co/a5scz34Cxt

Well, for what it’s worth, the First Lady released a statement earlier today:

And while the statement does leave quite a bit to be desired, it seems safe to say that there’s nothing Melania Trump could have written that would have satisfied Steve Schmidt:
She is as bad as him. Her name is Trump. She destroyed the Rose Garden in the name of her vanity. She is the worst First Lady in American History. She is a Trump, in every way. https://t.co/T8yEtO7nBr

That’s a very thoughtful and reasonable take on the situation, Steve.
Every single member of the Lincoln Project has spoken truth to power for 2 years. And today is no exception. https://t.co/iuwZANHrxp

Is that what Steve is doing? Speaking truth to power? Or is he just making an ass of himself?
Well, to be fair, the Lincoln Project thinks those two are one and the same.
Bad Take Steve is at it again. https://t.co/w8oFYE5oF6

GP She literally restored the Rose Garden to Jackie Kennedy's 1962 plans. You're a "conservative" who has a problem with honoring history? https://t.co/rJJgu82I2i

This stupidity again? Melania took it back to the 1962 design. I find this AD article informative, though, to be fair, that may be because I agree with the criticisms.https://t.co/SUw8THXYUl https://t.co/hN0dBL8NEM

That’s because it takes a very serious person to get hung up on something like this, of all possible things to get hung up on.
