The DNC this yr has already had a raucous roll name that includes Lil Jon and a d**ok joke by Barack Obama. However the craziest factor in regards to the Democratic Nationwide Conference in 2024? The quantity of Republicans!
Sure, Donald Trump is so venal, so corrupt, so harmful, {that a} ton of Republicans have determined to throw their assist behind Kamala Harris! The host of Tuesday night time’s occasions was Ana Navarro from The View, and one of the vital hanging speeches — in an evening with each Obamas — got here from a former Trump staffer.
Stephanie Grisham was Trump’s third press secretary and his communications director from July 2019 to April 2020. Then she was Melania Trump‘s chief of employees. She was a “true believer” who spent all her time with the Trumps, together with on trip. However she resigned instantly following the occasions of January 6. Since then she’s spoken out in opposition to Trump — however not like this.

On this speech, she unloaded, letting everybody know who they have been actually supporting after they voted for Trump! She advised the packed Chicago conference heart:
“I noticed him when the cameras have been off, behind closed doorways. Trump mocks his supporters. He calls them basement dwellers.”
Rattling! She actually pushed the concept he’s a grifter who doesn’t actually care about Individuals — even those voting for him. He could also be a cult chief, however he’s not the type who believes what he’s preaching. He’s the type who will get what he needs, and that’s all he cares about.
She advised a narrative about how he went to a hospital throughout the COVID pandemic — and “was mad that the cameras weren’t watching him.” He didn’t actually care, he simply wished to get credit score. Gross. She added that he completely is aware of he’s mendacity about every little thing and simply doesn’t care:
“He has no empathy, no morals and no constancy to the reality. He used to inform me, ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie — say it sufficient and other people will consider you.’”
Rattling. There have been loads of pundits who surprise if Trump is delusional, excessive on his personal provide. However Grisham says that isn’t the case. He is aware of he’s peddling lies and simply plans to maintain doing it — something to profit himself.
She admitted even when she was on the Trump practice, she nonetheless couldn’t go all in — if she might inform herself she was stretching or bending the reality, it wasn’t as unhealthy. She mentioned she by no means took questions from reporters as press secretary “as a result of, not like my boss, I by no means wished to face at that podium and lie.”
However when she noticed a glimpse of the longer term Trump was main America into on January 6, she had a second of readability. Trump would burn all of it down, finish the American experiment in democracy if it meant lining his pockets. She might now not work for him. She mentioned:
“Now right here I’m behind a podium advocating for a Democrat, and that’s as a result of I really like my nation greater than my get together. Kamala Harris tells the reality. She respects the American individuals, and he or she has my vote.”
Rattling. We’d like extra Republicans to get up and notice what they’ve pledged themselves to. As a result of Trump shouldn’t be an actual Christian, he’s not an actual Republican, and he’s not an actual public servant. He is a fraud, convicted of 34 counts.
