Stephanie Grisham, former White House press secretary and close aide to Melania Trump, sharply criticized the former first lady's actions during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot during a speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Grisham revealed that Melania Trump refused her request to condemn the January 6th Capitol violence in a tweet. The former press secretary received applause as she highlighted her decision to resign on January 6th, calling it a rejection of the "insanity" of that day.
