Will the Real Stephanie Grisham Please Sit Down
26th August 2024
Former Trump administration press secretary Stephanie Grisham caused a bit of a stir last week at the Democratic National Convention.
Grisham, who resigned on Jan. 6, 2021, in a supposed protest against President Donald Trump for his alleged inaction when demonstrators invaded the U.S. Capitol, endorsed Kamala Harris and claimed that from her personal knowledge Trump has “no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth.”
But wait a minute.
How did Grisham become an arbiter of morals and a purveyor of “fidelity to the truth”?
After all, Grisham worked for Trump and his wife, first lady Melania Trump, for six years, starting as a campaign worker in August 2015 and then working as press secretary to both the first lady and the president after Trump’s election in 2016.
You have to ask yourself how Grisham had worked for the Trumps for six years without managing to notice that they were rotten scum. One is supposed to believe that she only figured out that Trump was a bad person two weeks before he left office when she resigned in protest. But if she knew Trump as well as she claims, and he was as horrible as she says now, then she should have quit years before.
Don’t think of it as selling out–think of it as buying in.
