Alyssa Farah Griffin floats another wild and probably made-up Trump tale

“The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin has become a favorite among Democrats as another former Trump administration staffer who parlayed her experience into a new race to trash her former boss .

Specializing in lurid comments for which there is little real evidence other than his words, Griffin unearthed another one of his wild stories about the nation's 45th president who she said talked about executing people during meetings, a typically sensationalist statement from a woman who specializes in them. .

The former White House communications director sat down with host Aidan McLaughlin on the latest episode of Mediaite's “Press Club” podcast, and the topic predictably turned to Trump and his alleged tendencies dictators, a narrative that Democrats and their allies have been hammering. relentlessly even though it has not moved the polls in favor of Joe Biden.

Griffin spoke of a meeting in which it was claimed Trump discussed executions, although former Attorney General Bill Barr, no doubt no admirer of the former president, denied that during a CNN grilling earlier of year

Asked by McLaughlin why prominent Republicans who were once highly critical of Trump now support him, the faux conservative opined that it's all about power.

“It's power. I think power is just one of the most attractive things we have in society. Kaitlan Collins, to her credit, interviewed Bill Barr and asked me about an anecdote he shared about a meeting he and I were in the Oval Office where Trump directly said that a staffer who leaked a story would have of being executed,” he said. .

“And Bill Barr danced around it and said I don't remember that particular case, but there were others where we talked about executing people. How does he rationalize that he's a person with good judgment to be president of the United States? Griffin said, offering no evidence to support his claim about Trump calling for executions, which means he's probably making it all up.

“They're reading the tea leaves. They know there's a very real possibility that he's going to be president again. And there's not a lot of glory or victory in being right, but being on the wrong side of Trump, I think ultimately that's what it boils down to,” she said, adding that she was disappointed with a former GOP candidate who is now supporting her.

“I really wanted to root for Nikki Haley. I think it was pathetic for her to turn around and endorse her. I think she knows better,” he sobbed, seeming to feel a sense of betrayal by the former Carolina del Gov. south

“Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it. And I don't say that lightly,” Griffin he said ABC News' Jonathan Karl in a New Year's Eve interview. “We all witnessed him trying to steal a democratic election before and going to historic and unconstitutional lengths to do it.”

Trump hasn't exactly had glowing reviews of the former staffer he has referred to to as a hypocritical “sleazebag” among other things.
