Press Secretary Says She Killed Briefings Because She Was Sick of Reporters Trying to Get Famous

Remember White House press briefings? They’ve been few and far between in this administration, a trend that’s only intensified with Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ departure. And this morning on Fox News, Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham made it clear they’re not coming back anytime soon, in part because she was sick of clout shark-ass reporters looking to get “famous.”

“Not right now,” Grisham said on Fox & Friends, when asked if regular briefings would return. She continued: “To be honest, the briefings had become a lot of theater. And I think that a lot of reporters were doing it to get famous. I mean, yeah, they’re writing books now. They’re all getting famous off of this presidency. And so, I think it’s great what we’re doing now.”
