Chicago: On the second day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on August 21, Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary who had served during Donald Trump administration, took the centre stage and publicly extended support to Vice President and Democratic Presidential nominee Kamala Harris.
During her speech at the convention with the theme “A Bold Vision for America’s Future”, she claimed that the former US President Trump has no empathy, morals and fidelity to the truth.
In her address, Grisham said Trump mocked his supporters and called them “basement dwellers.”
“The Trump family became my family. I spent Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, all at Mar-a-Lago. I saw him when the cameras were off, behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters–he calls them basement dwellers,” Grisham said. “He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth,” she added.
Recalling a conversation of her with former US First Lady Melania Trump during the January 6 riots in 2021, she stated she had asked the latter whether the team could post on social media that there’s no place for lawlessness or violence, according to a global news report.
Grisham said, “I asked Melania if we could at least Tweet that while peaceful protest is the right of every American, there’s no place for lawlessness or violence. She replied with one word: ‘No.'”
Endorsing Harris at the DNC, Grisham said the VP tells the truth and has respect for Americans.
Grisham said she was on the stage “advocating for a Democrat and that’s because I love my country more than my party. Kamala Harris tells the truth, she respects the American people and she has my vote.”
