Former Trump press secretary, other Republican officials to speak at DNC this week
CBSN
Stephanie Grisham, a former White House press secretary under the Trump administration, will speak at the Democratic National Convention to show her support for Vice President Kamala Harris this week. And she's encouraging other Republicans to join her to "ensure Donald Trump never returns to the White House."
"I never thought I'd be speaking at a Democratic convention," Grisham said in a statement. "But, after seeing firsthand who Donald Trump really is, and the threat he poses to our country, I feel very strongly about speaking out."
Grisham, who worked in a number of different roles at the Trump White House before resigning in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, said while she doesn't agree with Harris across the board, she is "proud to be supporting her" presidential bid. She said that Harris will "defend our freedoms and represent our nation with honesty and integrity." NBC News first reported the development.
