'Why won't you be seen in public with your husband?': Internet responds to Melania Trump

Melania Trump on Sunday issued her first statement regarding the shooting attempt on her husband, Donald Trump, leading some to put the former first lady on the spot.

Melania over the weekend revealed a rare statement about her husband. She did not attend his criminal trial in New York, nor has she been seen at his campaign events.

In her statement, Melania called for unity.

"When I watched that violent bullet strike my husband, Donald, I realized my life, and Barron's life, were on the brink of devastating change," she said in her statement. "I am grateful to the brave secret service agents and law enforcement officials who risked their own lives to protect my husband."

She continued: "Let us not forget that differing opinions, policy, and political games are inferior to love. Our personal, structural, and life commitment — until death — is at serious risk. Political concepts are simple when compared to us, human beings."

MAGA was firmly behind Melania, but she was also hit with some criticisms.
