sore loser

Melania won’t meet with Jill Biden at the White House probably because she’s already fled D.C.

Donald Trump isn’t the only person who won’t acknowledge that Joe Biden beat him quite handily in the 2020 presidential election and will soon be moving into the White House.

Melania Trump, it seems, is being equally as petty. Following in her husband’s footsteps, the First Lady is refusing to meet with or even congratulate Dr. Jill Biden on her husband’s victory, as is customary between first ladies.

Or maybe she’s not refusing? Maybe she’s been in such a rush to get the hell outta Washington, D.C. that it simply slipped her mind? Honestly, we wouldn’t be surprised.

Over the weekend, Melania took to social media to peddle false claims that her husband was somehow cheated out of a second term.

“The American people deserve fair elections. Every legal–not illegal–vote should be counted,” she tweeted last weekend. “We must protect our democracy with complete transparency.”

The tweet drew widespread condemnation and ridicule…

Even Donald Trump’s archenemy Rosie O’Donnell chimed in…

Of course, Jill Biden, being Jill Biden, is staying above the fray. She’s not letting Melania’s snub stop her from assembling her staff and coming up with an agenda for the East Wing, which is expected to focus on education, veterans, and cancer, three issues that are important to her.

In a statement, Jill Biden’s spokesperson, Michael LaRosa, said: “Dr. Biden is enormously grateful to the country for electing her husband and Senator Harris. Joe Biden will be a President for all Americans. She is spending time with her children and grandchildren in Wilmington, Delaware.”

69 days until Inauguration Day, folx!
