A White House stenographer says she resigned over the Trump administration's lack of respect for her office after President Trump reduced the roles of the White House position.
Beck Dorey-Stein, who worked as a stenographer for the White House during the second half of the Obama administration, told CNN's New Day on Wednesday that Trump's refusal to allow stenographers in the room for meetings and interviews with some journalists crossed a line.
"I quit because I couldn't be proud of where I worked anymore," Dorey-Stein said. "I felt like President Trump was lying to the American people, and also ... not even trying to tell the truth. He wasn't even going the extra mile to have the stenographers in the room"

In an op-ed for The New York Times, Dorey-Stein added that Trump's dislike for microphones "near his face" resulted in her office having less access to the Oval Office, in many cases resulting in no stenographer being present for press conferences or meetings.
"In my five years with President Barack Obama, off-the-record discussions with reporters happened after work hours — not for an hour in the middle of the work day, and certainly not before an interview," she said, speaking of Trump's off-the-record conversation with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.

And of course, the minute anybody has anythng bad to say about Trump, the nobody gets covered by the loathsome Hill, the slimiest of the slime and the weaselest of the weasels.
I just went to my favorite liberal site, It’s pretty quiet today. Not much to talk about.
Yes, this is but a small example of a huge failure from day one. Hundreds of political appointees and other non-tenure employees were kept on long term throughout the new Administration. Every one of them should have been shown the door immediately and the leaking and sabotage would have been much less IMO.
...she resigned because DJT was dealing with “leaks” and she was probably out as a leaker...
“Mattress Back slept her way around the WH during Obama’s Admin, and she has a book to sell.”
Office round heels...Sealy impression on her back.
Headline seems to be a bit different than what she said, huh?
“I felt like President Trump was lying to the American people, and also ... not even trying to tell the truth”.
Quite a sizeable difference between lying and someone FEELING like someone was lying.
What do you want to bet she was involved in leaks?
She sure seems to be pretty self-important. Maybe she should run for POTUS and see how she does.
Because they’re realizing that Cortez is a bona fide moron, so they have to find a new heroine, asap.
Anyone who worked for Obama would not be welcome in the Oval Office.
Ya, it shouldn’t have taken that long to get rid of the trash.
Honestly, is there anyone actually loyal to Trump on his staff?
Benghazi was due to an offensive video?
Came in in 2012, under Obama. Another starry-eyed Obama lover. She should have been fired on day one. Trump’s staff is horrifically bad and serves him poorly.
Trump’s opposition is really scraping the bottom of the barrel with this one.
I read this earlier when it was published. I’ve re-read it. It seems to me that someone has her panties in a wad as she does not mention one specific example of a lie. I sense that her ego was hurt as she wasn’t allowed in the “inner sanctum” whenever she wanted to be. Whiners have no credibility with me.

She obviously did not vote for Trump, just like 92% of everyone in DC. Amazing to consider the next highest percentage for Hillary was California at 30% less - 62%.
No wonder DC is so messed up.

So, she “felt it”. She has no proof -— just feels it
Poor little snowflake.
