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.

    I’m guessing you saw someone else post that and thought it sounded clever so you’d reuse it the first chance you got?

    Because it’s completely irrelevant here…

    Worry 1:Republicans are fascists that use manipulative techniques on their base. Worry 2: Democratic leaders just used a similar technique Republicans used against Biden and Obama.

      You guessed wrong, so you’re starting out with a swing and a miss.

      The fact that it has happened, and in fact happened yet again in 2020, is why I bring it up. Numerous times in fact.

      This isn’t a “but the other side” situation. Any instance of this is a problem. It doesn’t matter who is orchestrating it, or who is benefitting from it, it shouldn’t happen.

        If you think it’s wrong for Dems to use the same tactics as Republicans then what the fuck are you bitching about?

          Do you need a few minutes to read through the things we’ve actually said? Because that question makes no sense in context, so I have no way to answer it.

            You clearly demonstrated that you didn’t actually read what I wrote and made knee-jerk reaction, then think I’m the one not reading?
