In a surprising turn of events, Stephanie Grisham, Donald Trump's former White House press secretary, took the stage at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday night to share a shocking revelation about Melania Trump's response to the January 6 insurrection. Grisham, who also served as the first lady's communications director and chief of staff, expressed her concerns about the "insanity" surrounding the former president and endorsed Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

During her speech, Grisham shared a brief text exchange showing Melania's response to her request to condemn the violence that unfolded on January 6. Grisham explained that she had asked Melania if they could at least tweet a statement expressing that "while peaceful protest is the right of every American, there's no place for lawlessness or violence." However, the former first lady simply responded with a resolute "no."

Grisham further revealed some unsettling details about the former president, accusing him of mocking his own supporters behind closed doors, referring to them as "basement dwellers." She also recounted an incident during a hospital visit when Trump seemed more concerned about the attention he was receiving from the cameras, rather than the patients in the ICU. Grisham criticized his lack of empathy, morals, and commitment to the truth.

Recalling her time as press secretary, Grisham revealed that Trump would often tell her, "It doesn't matter what you say, Stephanie, say it enough and people will believe you." It was this revelation, combined with the events of January 6, that ultimately led her to resign from her position. "I couldn't be part of the insanity any longer," she stated.

Despite her Republican background, Grisham emphasized her support for Kamala Harris, citing her belief in Harris' truthfulness, respect for the American people, and dedication to defending freedoms with honesty and integrity. Grisham's unexpected endorsement of Harris underscores her conviction about the threat posed to the country by Donald Trump.

Grisham's inclusion in the convention, alongside other Republican figures denouncing the "extremism" of Trump and his campaign, highlights the Harris campaign's efforts to recruit Republicans and build a broad coalition. The campaign recently launched its "Republicans for Harris" program, aiming to appeal to moderate and independent voters who may have previously supported Trump.

As the convention continues, with notable speakers like Barack and Michelle Obama, as well as second gentleman Doug Emhoff, the Harris campaign seeks to amplify Republican voices who prioritize country over party. The campaign's goal is to present these patriotic Republicans directly to the audience, allowing them to explain their reasons for supporting Vice President Harris.

Stephanie Grisham's bold move to speak out against her former boss reflects the deep concerns within the Republican party regarding the former president's behavior and its impact on the nation. Her decision to endorse a Democrat underscores the urgency she feels in protecting the country's democracy.

The second night of the Democratic National Convention serves as a powerful platform to promote unity and showcase the collective opposition to Donald Trump's divisive politics. As more Republicans step forward to express their concerns and support for the Democratic ticket, it becomes evident that the upcoming election will be a pivotal point in the nation's history.
