Trump humiliates his brand-new press secretary by publicly making a liar out of her

Sarah Sanders and Sean Spicer were also made into laughingstocks while working for Trump.

Just six weeks into her job as White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham publicly humiliated herself in front of the world while attempting to cover for Trump.

On Thursday morning, as reports began to circulate that Trump was pushing for Israel to stop Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) from visiting the country, Grisham was asked to comment.

At around 9 a.m., she said the stories were "inaccurate."

"It would show great weakness if Israel allowed Rep. Omar and Rep. Tlaib to visit," Trump then wrote at 9:57 a.m.

In under an hour, Trump successfully pulled the rug out from under his top spokesperson.

press secretary had been living under a large rock since January, 2017.

Anyone willing to take the job surely knows that being publicly humiliated is simply in the job description.

She may even have a lot of experience which means she would be a pro.
