Former Trump White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin says Donald Trump’s vulgar comments are simply a way to distract voters from focusing on more serious ― and potentially dangerous ― issues at hand.
During a rally this weekend, the Republican presidential nominee riffed on the size of the penis of late golfer Arnold Palmer.
Griffin, appearing on Erin Burnett’s CNN show “OutFront” on Tuesday, admitted it’s “baked in what Donald Trump is going to say.”
“But there is some wisdom and strategy to him just flooding the zone with crazy,” she claimed.
“Talking about the silly Arnold Palmer story means we’re not talking about him saying he’d use the American military against U.S. citizens,” Griffin suggested.
Griffin recalled how, in 2020, she was in the Oval Office when then-President Trump reportedly talked about using the military to shoot protesters who took to the streets after the police killing of Black man George Floyd.
“This is a real thing that happened in his last term and he would absolutely do it again,” warned Griffin.
