As Stephanie Grisham spoke at the Democratic National Convention, a screen behind her displayed a text exchange she said she’d had with Melania Trump on Jan. 6, 2021.

An apparent screenshot of text messages between Grisham and first lady [Melania Trump appeared on a large screen as Grisham spoke. The messages show Grisham asking Melania Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, if the first lady wanted to tweet that there is no place for lawlessness and violence.

Grisham said Melania Trump simply responded, “No.”

Grisham said she was the first senior staffer to resign that day, as the DNC crowd applauded.

“I couldn’t be a part of the insanity any longer,” she said.

    Unpopular opinion.

    I like Melania because she’s given Donnie more grief than anyone else.

    She refused to move to Washington until he gave her a better deal, then proceeded to make ‘cyber bullying’ her First Lady initiative.

    She won’t so much as hold his hand in public.

    Sure, she’s a loathsome human being in her own right, but anyone who makes Donnie squirm is a pal o’ mine.

      She did fuck all with her initiative. Her slogan “Be best” was a dig at Michelle Obama’s “Be better” simply so that she could one up her.

      She is against cyber bullying the same way I’m against carbs.
