Ex-Aide Says Trump Wanted Kanye West To Hold Church Service On White House Lawn
HuffPost
Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former communications director under Trump, said he genuinely believed the service would "unify the country."
Donald Trump apparently had some pretty weird ideas during his presidency about what constitutes “national unity.”
On Tuesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” Alyssa Farah Griffin ― who served as White House communications director from April to December 2020 ― claimed Trump wanted “to unify the country” during her tenure by hosting one of the most divisive entertainers in recent history.
Griffin offered up her account when a caller asked about her “wildest” experience on the job.
“This is going to be dark,” she warned. “To be honest, one day he wanted to have Kanye West come and do a church service on the White House lawn to ‘unify the country,’ and I can think of few things less unifying than that.”
“We were like, ‘Not the time or place, sir,’” Griffin continued.
