White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham defended President Donald Trump’s tweet in which he called Never-Trump Republicans “human scum” during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Thursday.

Grisham said that the Republicans who have been working against him, often with the Democrats, “deserve strong language like that.”

“The people who are against him, and who have been against him and working against him since the day they took office are just that,” Grisham said. “It is horrible that people are working against a president who’s delivering results for this country and has been since day one.”
