Stephanie Grisham, a former aide to Donald Trump, said in an interview on Thursday morning that the former president had watched the January 6 Capitol attack with glee.

Grisham, who served as Trump’s press secretary and as chief of staff for former First Lady Melania Trump, abruptly resigned from the White House on the day of the Capitol attack. Since then, she has frequently criticized the former president and his allies.

This week, Grisham met with the House select committee investigating the January 6 attack. After a closed-door session with the commission, she said that she had “cooperated fully” with the inquiry, and that she plans to “continue to do so” if they have more questions.

1. Ok.. I remember photos here on the du

With tfg n his family n all watching the events on multiple TVs.. I don’t get that this is such a big deal.. it was complete with “Gloria” blasting in the background.. am I dreaming? I think not. This was also broadcast on other stations.. he watched with glee as he was dreaming of grandeur but not here..not in The United States of America and not you.. mfer.. not then, not today, not ever.

3. those images and clips were not of them watching the riot

they were in a tent watching video of the crowd at the rally before they spoke. I hate to ever "defend" that family of grifters, but I also prefer us to be accurate.

5. Thank you for the clarification. n/t

6. Ok..there was dancing

And music going on with Jr.’s girlfriend singing..I am not a clever person with all this but.. I will have to bow to your say so..but.. I know what I saw on that day as it was remarkable n jaw dropping. I respect ..I have to as I cannot prove myself.. I’ll just say.. they all knew..they all watched.,they all celebrated.

7. I have no doubt back at the White House after he sent the mob to the Capitol

at least he was happy and gleeful. hopefully more on that will come out soon. but those images and video that were circulating around the time were debunked as to them watching the riot.
