Summary

  • Jennifer Welch called First Lady Melania Trump an "absolutely horrific person" on her "I've Had It" podcast and said she did not like "anything possible" for her.
  • The attack escalated into comments about Melania Trump's marriage and sex life, with Welch tying her claims to Amazon's reported $40 million purchase of rights to the "Melania" documentary.
  • A transcript of the film contains no details about intimacy between Donald and Melania Trump, undercutting Welch's assertion that the documentary signaled distance in the couple's relationship.
  • The episode fits Welch's broader pattern of profanity-laced attacks on conservatives, including recent remarks about homeschooling parents, Christianity, the Trump family and the late Sen. Lindsey Graham.
