Republican presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump’s ex-White House press secretary says she used to be a “true believer” who spent holidays with the Trump family, but now she’s backing Harris.
Stephanie Grisham told Democratic delegates at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday at the United Center, that Trump “mocks” his supporters behind closed doors and “has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth.”
This fall, Grisham said she’s backing Harris because the Democrat “tells the truth, she respects the American people and she has my vote.”
Grisham resigned from her White House post following the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol, the first senior staffer to do so that day.
She held no press briefings as Trump’s press secretary, explaining “unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand behind that podium and lie.”
