Ex-Press Secretary Asked If She ‘Really’ Feels ‘Bad’ About Time in Trump WH

Once a fierce defender of former President Donald Trump, Stephanie Grisham is now speaking out about her time in the White House.

But on Tuesday, CNN’s John Berman asked the former press secretary if her comments about her former boss are a sign of genuine regret or just meant to boost sales of her book.

“As you told us, there were many opportunities where you could have said no or should have said no, you didn’t,” Berman said as he asked, “Now you are saying you regret it, but the question is, are you saying you regret it to sell books? Do you really feel bad? If you had to do it all over again, would you do it differently?”

Grisham responded, “If I had to do it over again, I wouldn’t do it. I wouldn’t have been there. But, obviously, hindsight is 2020.”

“Obviously, I want to sell books, but I want to sell books so that people can read the entire story and see the context. And again, I was a loyalist, and I was a believer, and I defended them fiercely. And if I can convince five or six other people who were like me that this is not natural and this is not normal, and this is a cult-like environment, and if you can just step out and clear your head, maybe I can change things,” she added.

Finally, Grisham said she “made a lot of mistakes” during her time in the White House, but argued that she helped “mitigate a lot of disasters.”

Grisham, who served as the former president’s press secretary and chief of staff for former First Lady Melania Trump, penned a new memoir titled “I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw at the Trump White House,” in which she shares unsavory stories
