Donald Trump’s Press Secretary Tweeted ‘Let’s Be Honest’ And The Retribution Came Fast
White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham tickled Twitter users on Monday afternoon when she began a tweet with the phrase “let’s be honest.”
Let’s be honest: the press are invited into roundtables & events on specific topics almost every day - and our guests have to “sit there” as they shout questions on subjects completely unrelated to the event at hand. As always, the hypocrisy here is stark. https://t.co/S7JxDsgf3u

Tweeters pounced on the post to remind Grisham about the thousands of lies that President Donald Trump has told since taking office in January 2017.
Critics also highlighted how Grisham has not held a daily White House press briefing since taking over the role from Sarah Huckabee Sanders in July.
Let's be a little more honest. Most Presidents don't talk about attempts to overthrow the government and denounce his own FBI in front of anyone. No excuse for your guy. Sorry that young man had to hear it.

Let’s be honest, you’re a press secretary that refuses to give press briefings.

Weird, if only there was a room where you could appropriately hold these kinds of Press Conferences that wouldn't drag innocent Americans or foreign dignitaries into it.

“Let’s be honest” said no honest person, ever.

Yes, let's be honest! Maybe if you actually did your damn job and held press briefings, instead of running to your safe place at Fox "News", then these questions wouldn't be yelled out at times like this. https://t.co/8D3Si5jwRY
