White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham on Thursday defended President Donald Trump’s tweet a day earlier describing his Republican critics as “human scum.”

Asked during an appearance on “Fox & Friends” whether Trump regrets using that phrase, Grisham enthusiastically said no.

“He shouldn’t,” she told host Brian Kilmeade. “The people who are against him and have been against him and working against him since the day they took office are just that. ... They deserve strong language like that.”

Grisham, who hasn’t led a White House briefing since Trump appointed her as his press secretary in July, added that Trump believes there are some people working within the U.S. intelligence community who are also “really terrible.”
