First lady Melania Trump made her first comments on Wednesday's deadly Capitol siege, calling for national unity yet refusing to take any responsibility for her husband's role in the deadly riot.
Rather, she cast herself as a victim.
"I am disappointed and disheartened with what happened last week,” she wrote in the statement, posted on the White House website Monday morning.
“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 an agenda."
"This time is solely about healing our country and its citizens.
It should not be used for personal gain," Trump said.
She did not explain what “gossip” she was referring to.
The first lady expressed her condolences for a Capitol Hill officer who died in the attack, which her husband, President Donald Trump, has not done.
Before naming the officer -- and another Capitol Hill officer who died over the weekend -- she named four Trump supporters who died on Wednesday, including a woman who was shot inside the Capitol building.
"My heart goes out to: Air Force Veteran, Ashli Babbit, Benjamin Philips, Kevin Greeson, Rosanne Boyland, and Capitol Police Officers, Brian Sicknick and Howard Liebengood," Melania Trump said.
"I pray for their families comfort and strength during this difficult time."

I'd still like to find-out whether it was Jr. or Eric who'd actually knocked-her-up.
I guess it'd be a matter of finding-out which brother had a birthday, 'round conception-time.

Her husband is too, but he doesn’t pretend otherwise.
Profit and power are all that matters to the Trump family. Melania tries to pretend otherwise but consistently fails.Phoenix68.2.0 » 12 Jan 2021, 1:16 pm » wrote: ↑

No one plays the victim card more than Trumpists and right wingers.
