During a rare appearance on CNN on Sunday morning, RNC official Lara Trump wanted nothing to do with questions about a new filing from special counsel Jack Smith that made a compelling case that Donald Trump broke the law.
Speaking with "State of the Union" host Dana Bash, Trump's daughter-in-law completely ignored a question about Trump's comments about vice president Mike Pence whose life was at risk during the Jan. 6 riots.
Instead, Eric Trump's wife went on a well-rehearsed rant about Americans no longer being concerned with the attempt to overturn the 2020 election that her father-in-law lost.

"I want to turn to something that we learned this week about from prosecutors on Donald Trump's role in trying and to overturn the election results in 2020," Bash began. "When Mike Pence's life was in jeopardy and aides told prosecutors that Trump said, quote, 'So what?" Do you think that's an appropriate response to the notion that his vice president's life appeared to be in danger?"
"Well, I think that this is a ridiculous ploy," Lara Trump shot back. "Of course, in 30 days to an election to try and dissuade people from voting for Donald Trump."
"The January 6 situation has been amplified to a level that I don't think is almost believable to so many people right now when they're struggling to put food on and the table for their families when they're struggling to fill up their gas tanks," she continued before oddly adding, "When you have dog and cat euthanization rates at an all-time high right now because people are going to have to turn over their animals because they can't afford to have a family pet right now, when you have wars breaking out around the world."
"This is not the top concern for the people of this country and the fact that this is coming to the forefront just speaks volumes about the fact that the Democrats probably don't feel good about their candidate of Kamala Harris," she asserted without ever addressing the threat to Pence's life.
