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.

    Fun fact: Factoids aren’t actually true.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factoid

    Edit: It just hit me that you could have also meant that this fact was buried under a lot of factoids.

    Edit 2: Oh well. It was used incorrectly so often, that it now can also mean trivial facts.
