First lady Jill Biden said incoming first lady Melania Trump declined her invitation for tea, according to a report in The Washington Post.

Biden reportedly extended the invitation to have tea at the White House, as is customary for incoming and outgoing first ladies during the presidential transition.

But Trump declined, according to the Post, which published a lengthy profile of the outgoing first lady Wednesday.

Biden noted in the interview conducted Jan. 5 that she followed up with Melania Trump in a note, which she passed along to President-elect Trump when they saw each other at the reopening of the Notre Dame in December.

“I congratulated her and I offered help,” Biden said of the note, according to the Post.

Biden did not hear back from her until they spoke briefly at former President Carter’s state funeral last week, when Melania Trump thanked the first lady.

The Hill reached out to the Trump transition team for comment.

The customary White House tea meeting is not the only tradition first ladies are skipping during this transition.

Former first lady Michelle Obama will not be attending the inauguration next week. She also skipped Carter’s state funeral, which would have had her seated next to the incoming president, citing a “scheduling conflict.”

Melania has too much class to put up with hypocrites and losers.

[Churchillspirit]

.....tried to jail her husband and rifled her underwear drawer!

[pacificus]

It’s all about the panty raid on Melania underwear, by the Biden thugs!

Don’t mess with the underwear drawer!

MAGA!

[Paladin2]

Dr. Jill wouldn’t give Melania her underwear back?

[Clutch Martin]

“Maybe some underwear the FBI stole when they raided her house?”

Joey wears them when he ain’t walkin’ around nekked in the WH workout spaces.

Mrs. Melania Trump likely doesn’t drink ‘pot’ tea, doktor.

[GOPJ]

Biden had his FBI goons go through Melania’s underwear drawer... that’s NOT something a woman gets over easily.

[gundog]

I’ll assume that’s supposed to read 600 micrograms.

[albie]

Jill needs to be snubbed every step of the way to hell. Where I’m sure she’s headed.

[Political Junkie Too]

I had hoped that Melania would regift the gift that Jill gave her four years ago back to her.

[cableguymn]

Don’t forget he sent his FBI to dig in her panty drawers.

[Yo-Yo]

Did Melania invite “Doktor” Jill to Tea in 2021?

Considering the hard-partying, rock-star lifestyle that he led for so long, it’s pretty amazing that Grace is alive at 85. Those DAR genes were pretty good, I guess.

[madison10]

She was busy overseeing the packing. Who wants to take tea with Jill Biden anyway? Ewww.

[leaning conservative]

Wow, wonderful information! Thanks. I listened to White Rabbit with the vocals isolated & her voice was so stunning.

[sauropod]

‘Zactly.

[Just mythoughts]

Wonder IF these two cross paths at ‘church’ .... Sure is strange that the Bidens and Melina allllll are practicing Catholics ...

[MayflowerMadam]

I think the reason is simply “possible poison”.

[Aquamarine]

Jill has been playing the role of first Lady for 4 years, the position that Melania should be in if they hadn't stolen the election. It's ludicrous to think Melania would want to interact with that poser.
