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.
didn't this text exchange get publicked a long time ago? maga voters don't care. the party of "i hate cancel culture while i cancel everything under the sun" and "criminals don't care about gun laws but we need bathroom laws to make sure women can't use the ladies' room" and "we should raise the voting age because 18 year olds aren't mature enough to vote. btw this is my new 12 year old bride" -- they couldn't give less of a flying fuck about any ridiculous, stupid, wrong, false thing anyone on team maga says or does, as long as it's "owning the libs"
Maybe, but if so, why not keep talking about it and make them keep answering for it? If you want someone on their back foot then you have to keep them there.
At the very least I hadn't heard about it before. There was so much chaos in the aftermath that I'm sure there are a number of little factoids like this that managed to slip through the cracks for some folks.
Lol I never knew that about the "Be Best" slogan trying to one-up Michelle Obama. I always assumed Melania was brain damaged and the people around her were just like "sure... Be Best... why not?"
No. They are promising to not do worse, while offering nothing better. Exactly the game that people constantly bitch about the Democrats playing all the time - ratchet and pawl.
In fact this is barely different than the shit Republicans pull with Hunter Biden's laptop.
What Melania thinks about the rioters has no bearing on anything, and we already know what Trump says about it because he constantly mouths off. Just like what Hunter Biden does has no bearing on Joe Biden as president and we can can find out about Joe Biden's policies and opinions directly from him.
While everyone should be calling out Republicans for their continued attempts to overthrow the government, Democrats have to at some point actually offer to do something to fix the problem.
As it stands now, Dems have no reason to address the core problem because as long as Trump is in the picture all they need to say is they're notasbadasTrump. And when Trump is out of the picture you can bet they'll prop up the next guy so they can say they're not as bad as them.
If voters don't call out that nonsense, especially in blatantly obvious cases like this, it's not going to change.
You're ignoring that Dems are using the same tactics you certainly bitched about Republicans doing then say others are ignoring reality and acting in bad faith?
Awww. Wooks wike some people want to continue a two party system where one party constantly destroys stuff and the other party just promises not to make it worse while never actually fixing anything.
This is ancient fucking news. We knew Trump wouldn't call the traitors traitors the day it happened...
The convention is one of the few places where you can safely explain why people should vote for you, instead of against the other guy, and it's telling when they don't take that opportunity...
