'The table will gasp': Ex-Trump aide drops inside information about Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House communications director for Donald Trump, told her colleagues at "The View" that when she worked with Sarah Huckabee Sanders she was a kind person. That, she confessed, has changed.
Sanders spoke at a Trump rally Tuesday night, where she attacked Vice President Kamala Harris for not having any biological children. Harris is a step-parent of two who refer to her as Momala. Similar attacks on Harris and on "childless cat ladies" have energized women across the country in opposition to Trump.
"I watched this clip and my jaw dropped. I worked with Sarah. The table will gasp when I say this," Griffin began. "She was privately one of the kindest, sweetest people like a Sara Haines doesn't have a bad thing to say about anyone."

What Trumpism does, she explained, is bring out the worst in people.
"It speaks to the toxic environment of Trump, to fit in," she said. You have to say wild things and knock people down and be a bully. That's not who she privately is, and it makes me think of J.D. Vance. You read his writings from 2012, he was like me, [saying] we need to bring more minorities into the party and reach out. But now he's something so different. He's saying the exact opposite of what he privately personally believes."
More importantly, she said that at 35, she's thinking about starting a family, and everyone she knows is suffering from miscarriages and fertility treatments.
"To demonize and shame people on the most personal private decision is so anti-family. Anti-women," Griffin continued, noting even men like her husband were shocked to hear Sanders say that. "My husband was texting, 'Can you believe she said this?' It is the easiest way to lose people's support."
