WASHINGTON. The then first lady Melania Trump refused to appeal for calm and non-violence in the hours of the assault on Capitol Hill by her husband’s supporters on January 6. They reported it to the Cnn two sources aware of the events that occurred that day.
According to sources, Trump’s adviser Stephanie Grisham sent her a message asking if she wanted to tweet that “it is every American’s right to protest peacefully, but there is no room for lawlessness and violence.” Melania’s dry reply: “No.” Grisham provides further details of the story in his forthcoming book entitled “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” according to excerpts published by Politico.
