Stephanie Grisham has the receipts — and she's not afraid to share them with the world. On the second day of the Democratic National Convention, the former White House spokesperson took the stage to reveal a text conversation she had with Donald Trump's wife, Melania, in regards to the January 6 Capitol riots. Stephanie projected the text conversation on a big screen. Her first message to the former first lady read: "
Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?" Melania simply replied, "No." Speaking to the audience, the former White House staffer reiterated the conversation, declaring: "On January 6, I asked Melania if we could at least tweet that while peaceful protests is the right of every American, there’s no place for lawlessness or violence. She replied with one word 'no'.
I became the first senior staffer to resign that day." Stephanie was met with cheers and applause as she admitted she "couldn't be part of the insanity" of the Trump administration "any longer." "When I was press secretary, I got skewered for never holding a White House briefing, it’s because unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand at that podium and lie," she explained. "Now, here I am behind a podium advocating for a Democrat. And that’s because I love my country more than my party." She then took the opportunity to publicly endorse Vice President Kamala Harris, noting she "tells the truth, she respects the American people and she has my vote."
