Former White House Director of Strategic Communications and assistant to former President Donald Trump, Alyssa Farah Griffin, has a message for Republicans: Quit with the silly stuff.
“Republicans are going to push moderates into Democrats’ arms if they don’t stop getting angry over the dumbest things,” Farah Griffin posted to X, formerly Twitter, with a picture of an article GOP Speaker Mike Johnson posted online with the headline “White House Bans Religious Easter Eggs From Art Contest,” which was later retracted by the conservative news website.
Farah Griffin is a political strategist who often appears on CNN and other networks.
In February, Farah Griffin jumped off the Trump Train and predicted on X that Trump “will lose the popular vote by the largest margin in modern history.”
But she also cautioned that if the Democrats bungle this chance to bury Trump, they could hand him the election:
“I grew up in the conservative movement & spent my career in GOP politics. I’ve NEVER known of so many lifelong Republicans who under no circumstances will support Trump. These are people who worked for GOP lawmakers, at Right of Center think tanks, & PACs,” she tweeted.
“Mark my words: Donald Trump will lose the popular vote by the largest margin in modern history. There are simply more Americans who oppose Trump than support him.
“But, but, but … we know the election will come down the Electoral count in ~7 swing states, based on the votes of ~500,000 people. Biden has significant weaknesses & democratic apathy, low turnout, or smart campaigning by Trump could easily hand the election to Trump,” she cautioned.
