Press secretary says it is ‘dangerous for the country’ to question whether she is putting out honest info


Published 9 hours ago on November 16, 2019



Press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Saturday argued it was “dangerous for the country” for anyone to challenge the veracity of her claims.

Grisham made her argument after President Donald Trump went to Walter Reed Hospital for an unannounced doctor’s visit, resulting in a great deal of speculation.

Following the visit, Grisham claimed Trump was “healthy” and “without complaints” — a claim many found unlikely as the president has spent a good deal of time as president airing his many grievances.

“Further speculation beyond the extensive & honest info I put out is wholly irresponsible & dangerous for the country,” Grisham argued.

Here is some of the speculation that may have raised Grisham’s ire:

I read that she has been terminated from previous jobs, for DUI's and incompetence. Her qualifications for holding press conferences is sadly inept. We used to see Suckerbee Sanders daily, drunk Steph only appears once in a while. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. When she shows up I look to see if her eyes are bloodshot.

Steph has quite the resume: two DUIs and two firings for plagiarism and falsifying expense reports. From her Wiki:

In 2007, Grisham was the spokeswoman for AAA Arizona,[5] but was fired within a year after being accused of cheating on expense reports.[6][7] Grisham was fired from a subsequent job at ad agency Mindspace over plagiarism charges, copying AAA material verbatim into her client's web page.[6][7]

From 2008 to 2010, Grisham worked as a spokeswoman for the Arizona Charter Schools Association.[6]

Then, Grisham served as spokeswoman for Arizona attorney general Tom Horne.[8] She witnessed the badly botched execution of Joseph Wood and caused a scandal by claiming that the two hour ordeal had been "quite peaceful".[9][10][11]

Next, Grisham worked as a spokesperson for the Arizona House of Representatives Republican caucus. She revoked the Arizona Capitol Times’s press credentials hours after their reporting that the House speaker, David Gowan, had traveled at state taxpayers’ expense during his campaign for Congress.[12] Reporters refused to comply, and Gowan rescinded the order.[6]

In 2012, Grisham also worked for Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign.[13][14]

In 2015, Grisham, as an independent contractor, worked as a press coordinator for Pope Francis's visit to Philadelphia.[15]

"You need to believe everything I say. Questioning it is treasonous."

"You are taking what we said out of context. It actually means something totally different."

"The pResident didn't say what he was recorded as saying."

Actually, I miss the old get-fucked press conferences.
Stalin had the same type and the reporters were gulaged.

Now makes me question it even more. ANYTHING they say to accept without question is the first fucking thing you start asking questions about.

Their words mean so little, it's just safer to do exactly the opposite of what they want.

I want trump to live a long life in prison, but I would settle for his heart exploding as he gives a televised speech about how healthy and energetic he is.

Over 14,000 times I think that statement is just more propaganda, and when people lie so much for a liar like trump is, it makes everyone question what is the truth when you, trump , and other republicans speak. You and others have lost all credibility from your lying , and now few believe anything that's said, which is dangerous from your actions, not ours.

Either these Cro-Magnons are living in the cold war era where appearances of discord or weakness could have negative political implications on the international stage, or they are self aware enough to know that's not the case, but want to pretend that is the case to get away with all kinds of bullshit.

I guess I'm not much of an advocate.
