US: Melania Trump, The First Lady of the United States of America, made a short statement on the Capitol’s riots and her husband’s President Trump loss in the general election.

First, Lady Melania Trump showed sorrow for the lives lost and expressed the nation’s demand to heal.

She also referenced “unwarranted personal attacks, and false, misleading accusations” concerning her.

In her official statement, the First lady said, “I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week. 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 a plan. This time is solely about healing our country and its citizens. It should not be used for personal gain.”

She said, “Like all of you, I have reflected on the past year and how invisible enemy, Covid-19, swept across our wonderful country. All Nations have felt the loss of loved ones, economic pain, and the negative impacts of isolation.”

She added that being the First Lady of the US,  it has been exciting to witness firsthand what our great nation’s people will do for one another, especially when we are at our most vulnerable.

In her letter, she noted, “With nearly every experience I have had, I found myself carrying many individual’s stories home with me in my heart.”

She stated that she wished the Nation must heal in a civil manner. Make no mistake about it.

She absolutely condemns the violence that has occurred on our Nation’s Capitol. She added that violence is never acceptable.

She pointed out that being an American, she proud of the country’s freedom to express and viewpoints without persecution.

She said,” It is one of the paramount ideals on which America is fundamentally built on. Many have made the final sacrifice to protect that right. With that in mind, I would like to call on the citizens of this country to take a moment, pause, and look at things from all perspectives.”

She also noted,” I implore people 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 hostility and viciousness. We must admit to one another, focus on what unites us, and rise above what divides us.”

Lady Trump said,” It is inspiring to see that so many have found a passion and enthusiasm in participating in an election, but we must not allow that passion to turn to violence. Our path forward is to come together, find our commonalities, and be the kind and strong people that I know we are.”

Here is her more statement:

Our country’s strength and character have revealed themselves in the communities that have been impacted by natural disasters and throughout this terrible pandemic that has affected all of us. The common thread in all of these challenging situations is American’s unwavering resolve to help one another. Your compassion has shown the true spirit of our country.

As I said over the summer, it is these defining moments that we will look back and tell our grandchildren that through empathy, strength, and determination, we were able to restore the promise of our future. Each of you are the backbone of this country. You are the people who continue to make the United States of America what it is and who have the incredible responsibility of preparing our future generations to leave everything better than they found it.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as your First Lady. I want to thank the millions of Americans who supported my husband and me over the past four years and have shown the incredible impact of the American spirit. I am grateful to you all for letting me serve you on platforms that are dear to me.

Most importantly, I ask for healing, grace, understanding, and peace for our great Nation.

Every day let us remember that we are one Nation under God. God bless you all, and God bless the United States of America.
