First lady Melania Trump announced on Tuesday that White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who had never held an on-camera press briefing, will be leaving her post to become Melania Trump’s chief of staff.
“I am excited to welcome Stephanie back to the team in this new role,” the first lady said in a press release. “She has been a mainstay and true leader in the Administration from even before day one, and I know she will excel as Chief of Staff.”
“I continue to be honored to serve both the President and First Lady in the Administration,” said Grisham in the release.
The White House official did not hold a single press briefing during her tenure after she assumed office on July 1 last year, though she did make several appearances on Fox News.
Newly appointed White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has appointed Kayleigh McEnany, a spokesperson for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign, to be the new press secretary, according to the New York Times.
“Steps down” may be an overstatement.
We all pay her salary.
She may not have held any briefings but that was never her job…
Another in a long line of fluffers for the Dotard…
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass Stephanie.
Right…and is ANYONE surprised? She was inept. Clueless. Never held a conference. Ran to FOX when she wanted to ‘announce’ something and it always degenerated into a whine fest. Mark Meadows is many things but stupid is not one of them. He knows to go into full whine and snivel mode and INSIST DAMMIT that Trump and Company are the true victims takes a different face. And here we go…
