Former Republican Congressional Representative David Jolly Rips Melania

Former Republican Congressional Representative David Jolly, on the 11th Hour last night, made this comment about Melanias’s “ Up Your’s” olive drab rain coat. *

____

“I want to revisit the Meliana moment because we’ve touched on it with kid gloves.

This was an unforgivable moment for the First Lady and the First Family.

Not because of what happened in the initial moment where; Wow did she wear this?
And there was intrigue.

And frankly I was one who dismissed this the first time when she was departing.

But to wear it on her return affirmed that she was making a political message.
This was not a fashion statement.
This was a political message when she said “I don’t care.”

And I don’t care personally. as David Jolly, how the White House tries to manipulate this.
She was going to the border where her husband has ripped families apart wearing a jacked that said “I don’t care.”

It is an unforgivable moment for Meliana, as First Lady, but also for President of The United States.

And she does not deserve latitude on this because she has doubled down on it after questions were asked.
