Trump claims ‘clown’ ex-staffer lied about 2020 election
Donald Trump has blasted his former White House communications director Alyssa Farah as a “clown” and “backbencher” after she claimed the former president had at first privately admitted to having lost the 2020 election.
In a statement on Monday, Trump suggested that Farah was lying for money when she told CNN over the weekend about how he told her “that he knew he lost” the presidential election, but “wants to protect his ego at all costs.” She added that it was “scary” how Trump’s aides changed his mind afterwards.
“She was a ‘backbencher’ in the White House and is now a nobody again,” Trump said, adding that he “virtually never even spoke to Farah.” He said the administration “put her out there to face the public as little as possible” and noted that it was “like she didn’t even exist in the White House.”
I watched this clown on television saying exactly what they wanted her to say and I watched the lies. Was she paid by low-ratings CNN?
Trump also reiterated his belief that the election was “rigged and stolen,” describing it as the “crime of the century.” He insisted he had “never changed my view on that one bit” and would never “go soft on the ‘Real’ Big Lie, the election scam.”
“Anybody who ever says that I thought the Election was legit, even for a moment, is wrong. All you have to do is look at the thousands of pages of documents and evidence – which continues to mount,” Trump claimed.
Calling Farah an “inglorious lightweight,” Trump noted how people who left “with respect and adoration” for his administration “change so quickly” as soon as “cameras get shoved in their face...or money gets thrown at them.”
Farah worked for eight months under Trump, quitting a month before he vacated office. By then, Trump and then-lawyer Rudy Giuliani had launched a number of legal challenges over the election outcome.
After the January 6 Capitol Hill riots, Farah blamed Trump for inciting his supporters to storm the building and called on him to resign.
