Stephanie Grisham says when TFG 'needed his ass kissed he'd call Matt Gaetz

Stephanie Grisham says when Trump 'needed someone to tell him how awesome he was' he'd call Matt Gaetz, who would 'sing for his supper'

Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, wrote in her new memoir that White House staffers believed Rep. Matt Gaetz "would do anything" for former President Donald Trump.

Grisham said Trump's aides would get Gaetz, a Florida Republican, on the phone to give the president pep talks or run interference on news shows.

"We all knew that whenever Trump needed someone to defend him on TV on anything, Gaetz was our boy," Grisham wrote in "I'll Take Your Questions Now."

She went on: "He would do anything for Trump and a TV hit - though not necessarily in that order. When the president needed someone to tell him how awesome he was, the staff would get Gaetz on the line and he'd sing for his supper."

and they'd just send over whoever was next on the list. (It was a strict rotation, to be fair to the hundreds in Congress and the media who were clamoring to have their picture taken next to tfg's ass.)

The press secretary to the President who never once held a press briefing - titles her book: "I'll Take Your Questions Now."

OK - here's one: "Why wouldn't you do this when IT WAS YOUR JOB!?!?!?

I'm with Colbert on this: PLEASE don't buy the book!
We need to see them stacked in the BARGAIN BOOK WAREHOUSES all over the country, piled up in one stack with a "99 CENT SPECIAL!" sign on them!
