'Behind closed doors': Ex-Trump aide spills former boss' secrets to packed DNC

A former White House press secretary for Donald Trump delivered a stinging rebuke to her former boss at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.

Stephanie Grisham told Democrats on Tuesday night she wasn't just a Trump supporter, she was a "true believer" and one of his closest advisers, spending Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving with the Trump family at Mar-a-Lago.

"Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters," she said. "He calls them basement-dwellers."

During a pandemic-era hospital visit, as people died in the intensive care unit, Grisham said Trump was "mad that the cameras weren't watching him."

"He has no empathy," said Grisham. "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.'"

She pushed back during her speech, insisting that contrary to Trump's advice, what people say — and don't say — matters.

Grisham said she resigned the same day she asked former first lady Melania Trump whether it was ok to tweet that "peaceful protest are the right of every American, but there is no place for lawlessness & violence."

Mrs. Trump replied: "No," according to a screenshot of the conversation displayed at the convention.

"I couldn't be part of the insanity any longer," she said, noting she was "skewered" for not holding White House briefings. "Unlike my boss, I never wanted to stand at that podium and lie."

She earned applause as she noted she's once again behind a podium — "advocating for a Democrat."
