Nancy Mace comment on Melania Trumps statement!

Another reporter, Ahmed Baba, shared a similar sentiment on X, saying, “Seems to me the First Lady just injected Epstein back into the news cycle unprompted.”

Representative Nancy Mace, a South Carolina Republican who has been a leading voice in Congress on calling for transparency over the Epstein files, praised Trump for her call for a congressional inquiry.

“Thank you to our First Lady for being a voice for victims across the country,” Mace posted on X. “From her work on the Take It Down Act to publicly standing for the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and calling for action and the truth. The truth will prevail. America is strong when strong women stand up for what is right.”

Yikes! Looks like she, Melania, brought Epstein roaring back to the forefront!

Oh my! Did that ever backfire! I don't think she meant to do that. Ooops!

Dear G! 

How are you? 

Nice story about J. E. in New York mag, you look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time!

Love, Melania

I don't think anyone would accuse them of being terribly bright.

was WHY did she have to read every word?

Surely,it was simple enough to simply speak it from the heart.

Ofcourse,that assumes she has one.Or that it were the truth.

BIG ASSumptions,on both counts.

I guess that shows that even Epstein had SOME standards.
