White House Spox Stops Just Short of Smearing Grieving Parents of Harry Dunn
White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley sided with President Donald Trump over grieving parents, suggesting on Thursday morning that the family of Harry Dunn was lying when they said the president “ambushed” them and tried to pressure them into meeting the woman who killed their son.
“Again, that’s their description,” the White House flack responded. “I didn’t get any of that when I talked to the president about the situation. He was the one calming everybody down.”
