She’s had it.
A senior consultant to Melania Trump disclosed why the first lady spoke-up to reject any connection to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, saying she’s had “enough.”
On “Fox & Friends”, Marc Beckman explained on Friday that the first lady wished the public to concentrate on her accomplishments, not rumors spread about any correlation to Epstein, according to a story by Fox News.
“First, enough is enough,” Beckman said. “This has been ongoing, and it’s time for the public to refocus their attention on what achievements our first lady has done.”
During a rare on-camera appearance Thursday, Melania Trump pushed back on allegations tying her to Epstein. She said the rumors should “end today,” calling them “mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation.”
What is going on, Beckman explained, is that the first lady wanted to “set the record straight” and clear her name. She has faced online attacks that she was in the same circles as Epstein and that he introduced her to her eventual husband, President Donald Trump.
“She debunked all of the lies surrounding her and Epstein,” Beckman said, adding that in speaking out, the first lady has supported victims of Epstein’s trafficking. In her speech, Trump called on Congress to hold hearings for survivors of Epstein’s trafficking.
“She’s a real leader in Washington, D.C. She’s calling on Congress to act now,” Beckman said.
“All day long, lies and innuendos are coming through the media about the first lady. And she just wanted to set the record straight,” he said.
“If she can defend herself and make sure that her reputation is impeccable, who will do it? Nobody’s done it to date. All of this has been politicized, has been dragged through the media, and she’s ready to fight,” he added.
