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.

An apparent screenshot of text messages between Grisham and first lady [Melania Trump appeared on a large screen as Grisham spoke. The messages show Grisham asking Melania Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, if the first lady wanted to tweet that there is no place for lawlessness and violence.

Grisham said Melania Trump simply responded, “No.”

Grisham said she was the first senior staffer to resign that day, as the DNC crowd applauded.

“I couldn’t be a part of the insanity any longer,” she said.

    Lol acting like you care about rights while attacking the best chance to protect them. Please, give up the act.

      Did you agree with this the last several times it came up? Did you upvote it on Lemmy?

        Even in this completely fictitious example, which could be ANYTHING YOU CHOOSE as your strongest argument, it would still make the most sense to vote democrat. A ratchet with no gear would be preferable to a gear with no ratchet.

        What does upvoting mean? Nothing. What matters is actually voting, and I always vote in every election. Local and federal.

        Also this picture is a joke. The Democrats have been sliding right for years. The Democratic party is basically centrist, there is no far left party in the US.

        This just reeks of the “both sides” stance which isn’t based in reality anymore. If you can honestly look at both sides and say they’re the same then you’re being dishonest.

          I asked if they agreed with it first. Nothing I said is remotely both-sidesism - that Democratic leaders are using a tactic that I guarantee you got mad at Republicans for using is exactly the thing someone against both-sidesism should call them out for.

          To point out that Dems slide right then defend a specific action where they continue to slide right seems awfully disingenuous - given you otherwise have no idea what anyone is saying it’s more likely you have no idea what’s going on.

            Lol, ignoring your both sides take them telling me how I felt about what Republicans did. Sounds like a “centrist” Trumper to me lol.

            I did say the are sliding right but I didn’t then defend a specific issue. If I did I don’t see how that would be disingenuous. Unless you meant you want me to provide a point and just butchered that sentence. Well did you provide examples for every single claim you made? Lemme check, nope you didn’t. Seems disingenuous. Almost like you have no idea what’s going on lol.

              You are defending this specific issue. See? Clueless.
