    Trump Spox Who Quit Over J6 Reveals Stunning Text With Melania — Live Onstage At DNC

    Former Trump White House spokesperson Stephanie Grisham slammed former President Donald Trump at the Democratic National Convention — and revealed a stunning text exchange with then-First Lady Melania Trump from when the January 6 riot was still raging.

    The Democratic National Convention (DNC) that kicked off in Chicago Monday night kept rolling on Tuesday with Day Two speeches from former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, and a host of others.

    Grisham spoke early in the evening, and while her speech was short, it came with a visual aid that packed a punch — a screenshot of her j6 exchange with Melania in which the then-FLOTUS refused to encourage Trump to call for peace:

    I wasn’t just a Trump supporter. I was a true believer.

    I was one of his closest advisors. The Trump family became my family. I spent Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s all at Mar-a- Lago. I saw him when the cameras were off.

    Behind closed doors, 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. He has no empathy, no morals, and no fidelity to the truth.

    He used to tell me, it doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough, and people will believe you. But it does matter. What you says matter and what you don’t say matters.

    [ON SCREEN: 2:25 PM

    STEPHANIE GRISHAM: “Do you want to tweet that peaceful protests are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness and violence?”

    MELANIA TRUMP: “No”]

    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.

    (CHEERING)

    (APPLAUSE)

    GRISHAM: I couldn’t be part of the insanity 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.

    Now, here I am behind a podium advocating for a Democrat.

    (CHEERING)

    (APPLAUSE)

    GRISHAM: And that’s because I love my country more than my party.

    Kamala Harris tells the truth she respects the American people, and she has my vote. Thank you.

    (CHEERING)
