Trump's Former Press Secretary Shows DNC A Troubling Text With Melania
HuffPost
As Stephanie Grisham spoke at the Democratic National Convention, a screen behind her displayed a text exchange she said she'd had with Melania Trump on Jan. 6, 2021.
Stephanie Grisham, Trump’s former White House press secretary, came out strongly against former President Donald Trump on Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention.
Grisham started her short speech by saying that not only was she a Trump supporter, she was also a “true believer” and one of his “closest advisers,” and that Trump’s family was her family.
“I saw him when the cameras were off,” Grisham said. “Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement-dwellers.”
She said that one time while Trump was at a hospital visit to see dying patients, he was upset that the camera wasn’t on him.
“He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth,” she said. “He used to tell me, ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you.’”
