Melania Gets Conspiratorial Over Trump Assassination Attempt on Fox News: ‘Mainstream Media’ Suddenly ‘Became Quiet’
Former First Lady Melania Trump told Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt she has “a lot of questions” about the attempts to assassinate former President Donald Trump, fleshing out suspicions she’s raised before.
In support of her new book Melania, Mrs. Trump posted black and white teaser videos to social media — one of which raised eyebrows with its conspiratorial tone.
“I can’t help but wonder: Why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech? There is definitely more to this story. And we need to uncover the truth,” she said in the video.
On Thursday’s edition of Fox & Friends, Earhardt rolled out her exclusive interview with Melania — her first in more than two years — over the course of two segments.
In one exchange, Earhardt asked about the involvement of a “higher power” in keeping Trump from being killed — a popular premise among Trump supporters and allies
Following that exchange, Earhardt asked about the video, and Melania explained her suspicions a little bit more, then blamed people “branding him a threat to democracy”:
AINSLEY EARHARDT And then we were told this week and we were told that authorities have already known this for a while, that there wasn’t a Iranian plot to kill your husband. So I watched this video that you released on social media questioning the first assassination attempt for the second one. If they knew that there was this plot, why didn’t they sweep the golf course?
MELANIA TRUMP You know, it’s interesting how quiet and everything became all of the mainstream media. There were few days, reporting about July 13th event and everything then became quiet. So I had a lot of questions. What’s going on? It’s this is not normal. And is it really shocking that all these egregious violence,. Goes against my husband, especially that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as, threat to democracy, calling him vile names. They only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power all of these people that they want to do harm to him. This needs to stop. This needs to stop. The country needs to unite. And I encourage everybody to read my letter that I wrote on July 14th. Again, because that cannot continue.
AINSLEY EARHARDT Letter was very powerful. What made you get to the point of writing that letter?
MELANIA TRUMP That’s how I felt. That’s how I felt.
