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.”

    This is why I hate aligning with a political party because you never know what you’re going to get generation from generation, though the Republicans have been rotting from the inside out for a long time. Trump didn’t happen overnight.

    But more to the point, it’s completely rational for people to reject politicians who view them with disdain or contempt, which is why Democrats shouldn’t belittle or demean Americans who have been duped into some cult like programming. Republicans who want to swing vote should be encouraged by letting them know that them rejecting politicians who don’t want their best interests is completely reasonable
