Yesterday, Former Trump Administration acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell was slapped with disgusting, bombshell allegations of having Nazis ties by a United States congressman, and to make the situation that much worse still, one former aide to ex-Vice President Mike Pence is speaking out, saying the allegations are absolutely true.
This whole ordeal kicked off when Democratic House Rep. Ted Lieu publicly called out former Ambassador Richard Grenell on his “stupid, racist sh*t.”
“I served on active duty to defend your right to say stupid stuff. To the extent you now randomly mention China because of my race, then you’re saying stupid, racist sh*t,” Lieu fumed in a Twitter post.
Dear @RichardGrenell: I served on active duty to defend your right to say stupid stuff.
To the extent you now randomly mention China because of my race, then you’re saying stupid, racist shit.
Also, did you come up with LIEu all by yourself? Impressive. https://t.co/OrsMYt3B2b

Lieu responded, “To be honest, I don’t really know much about Grennell. (I just view him as a boring internet troll). Do you have proof of this?”

It was then that former homeland security advisor to Vice President Mike Pence Olivia Troye weighed in on the conversation.
“I do. While in his role as Ambassador, Grennell tried to get Mike Pence to attend a white supremacist gathering during one of his overseas trips,” Troye responded to the conversation.
