Grisham, who spent over five years working with former President Donald Trump before resigning in January 2021, has expressed her disillusionment with his &#8220;extremism&#8221; and is now supporting Harris, who is Trump&#8217;s main rival. In an interview with NBC, Grisham stated, &#8220;I never thought I\u2019d be speaking at a Democratic convention. But after witnessing firsthand who Donald Trump truly is and the threat he poses to our country, I feel compelled to speak out.&#8221; She acknowledged that while she may not agree with Harris on every issue, she supports her because of her commitment to defending freedoms and representing the nation with integrity.<\/p>\n<p>Grisham will address supporters of Harris on Tuesday during the second night of the DNC as a significant indication of her political shift. She began working for Trump&#8217;s campaign as a press aide in 2015 and later became White House press secretary and communications director. Additionally, she served as Melania Trump&#8217;s chief spokeswoman and chief of staff. Grisham revealed that although Melania had persuaded her not to leave the administration multiple times, she ultimately resigned due to the events surrounding the January 6 Capitol riot.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Trump&#8217;s claims that he did not incite the riot\u2014pointing out his calls for &#8220;no violence&#8221;\u2014Grisham&#8217;s perspective remained unchanged; she cited January 6 as her breaking point during an appearance on Meet the Press. Once known for fiercely defending Trump through sharp tweets aimed at his critics, Grisham has since become one of his vocal critics herself since leaving office. She has accused him of instructing her to provide false information during her time in service; however, Trump responded by labeling Grisham a liar last year after she claimed he had &#8220;no respect for classified information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3142,"featured_media":2327565,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Grisham.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7705,38689,38688,3634,32076],"class_list":["post-2327564","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-dnc","tag-political-speech","tag-stephanie-grisham","tag-trump","tag-washington-examiner"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Grisham.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327564","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3142"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2327564"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2327564\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2327565"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2327564"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2327564"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2327564"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
