From Newsweek. They capitalized this I'm not shouting.
MELANIA TRUMP WAS ‘PROUD’ OF LINDSEY GRAHAM’S ATTACK ON CHRISTINE BLASEY FORD ALLEGATIONS, SENATOR SAYS PRESIDENT TOLD HIM

He was very complimentary, and he said Melania said that please tell me that she was very proud of the fact that I pushed back and stood up for this good man,” Graham said. "And that meant a lot to me that the first lady felt that way.”
The first lady has made no public comment about the allegations against Kavanaugh, which now total three women accusing him of sexual misconduct. Her spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

Graham said that in a conversation with Donald Trump Thursday night, the president told him that first lady Melania Trump was “proud” of his fiery attack on the sexual allegations brought against Brett Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford.

The first lady has made no public comment about the allegations against Kavanaugh, which now total three women accusing him of sexual misconduct. Her spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment Friday.

Graham says Trump said she said that. As a lawyer he should know double hearsay is worthless, but it's all part of the Grand Suckup to get the AG job after Sessions gets the axe.

What someone who also claimed President Obama wasn't born in this country thinks anyway, especially anyone who would associate with a corrupt criminal, and serial liar like trump. I don't like her , at all.

She might still come out and deny it as she has done in the past. All depends on how pissed off she is at the Rump this week.

The sad part of that is Lindsay’s efforts to manipulate female voters by bringing this up... as if we are all mesmerized by her celebrity.

she has the ability to converse in English fully. Every time you have ever heard her speak it is highly scripted and short simple words. I have never heard her casually talking about anything.
