Stephanie Grisham excoriates ex-president at Democratic convention and says ‘he has no empathy, no morals’

Stephanie Grisham, Donald Trump’s former press secretary, excoriated the Republican presidential nominee at the Democratic national convention on Tuesday, saying: “He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth.”

Grisham, a Republican operative who also served as a spokesperson to Melania Trump, offered firsthand accounts of the former president’s behavior behind closed doors.

“I wasn’t just a Trump supporter, I was a true believer, I was one of his closest advisers. The Trump family became my family,” she said, saying she spent her holidays at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. “I saw him when the cameras were off … Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers. On a hospital visit one time when people were dying in the ICU, he was mad that the cameras were not watching him.”

    All these Republicans speak at the DNC… but are they out there saying these things to other Republicans? I’d be willing to bet lots of right wing voters won’t hear this message unless someone starts saying it through their regular communication channels. It’s preaching to the converted.

      It won’t matter if they hear it they’ll dismiss it as “Yeah a FORMER Republican operative, they just have a vendetta against him so obviously they’re lying.”

      It happens with every Trump admin personnel that has left and spilled the beans about how horrible he is.
