First Lady Melania Trump gave her final solo campaign speech on Monday where she criticized Joe Biden, Democrats, and supporters.
What we know:
- Melania appeared in Huntersville, North Carolina. This was her first campaign trail appearance in over a year. Her remarks focused on COVID-19, military, and law enforcement.
“Why should we trust Joe Biden when he suggests he can do a better job? All you have to do is look back on his 47 years in political life to determine whether you think he is suddenly capable of putting the American people first.” – Melania Trump
- Melania’s remarks on the campaign trail have been much more partisan and combative than her usual remarks that she’s given during the administration. Many of her words echoed the rhetoric of the President.
- She also painted Trump supporters as a persecuted group that faces discrimination. “Because of acts of intolerance and even violence, honest and hardworking Americans are sometimes afraid to put Trump signs in their yards,” she said.
- Melania also called out big tech companies for censoring people on the right, even though Facebook and Twitter have long been criticized for amplifying far-right conspiracy theories.
- “The Democrats, together with the media, have attempted to make COVID-19 the most politically charged, polarizing, and divisive topic of the last decade. Instead of working with our administration to unify and protect our nation, they only sought to attack us,” she said. It is worth noting that this administration has played down the severity of the pandemic and pushed to reopen states.
Over 237,000 people have died from coronavirus and the President and First Lady had it as well, and she was seen voting today without a mask.
