Melania Claims She Didn’t “Immediately Denounce” Riot Because She Was Very Busy Photographing WH Carpets

Fox News reports:

Former first lady Melania Trump said Thursday that she was “fulfilling” her official duties as first lady of the U.S. on Jan. 6, 2021, telling Fox News Digital exclusively that had she been fully informed of the events taking place at the Capitol during the day, she “would have immediately denounced the violence.”

“As with all First Ladies who preceded me, it was my obligation to record the contents of the White House’s historic rooms, including taking archival photographs of all the renovations. Several months in advance, I organized a qualified team of photographers, archivists, and designers to work with me in the White House to ensure perfect execution,” she continued.

“As required, we scheduled January 6, 2021, to complete the work on behalf of our Nation.” The former first lady added that “this is a very significant undertaking and requires great care, attention to detail, and concentration — both in the planning and execution.”
