Twitter Users Give Departing Press Secretary Grisham A Scathing Send-Off

Updated Wed, Apr 8, 2020, 4:51 AM3 min read

Stephanie Grisham stepped down from her role as White House press secretary on Tuesday and received a searing send-off on Twitter.

Social media users were quick to scorn Grisham, who will return to the East Wing as first lady Melania Trump’s chief of staff and spokesperson, for failing to hold a single press briefing in her 10 months in the job:

Stephanie Grisham will go down in history as the only White House Press Secretary who had more DUI arrests than press briefings.

So far re: Trump's @PressSec, @seanspicer was see no evil (biggest crowds period), @SarahHuckabee was hear no evil (the President was very clear), and Stephanie Grisham was speak no evil (no press briefings.)
