"...now these sad, broken people are even turning this obsession into a creepy emotional-blackmail scheme.
Alison Flood, The Guardian:
Bestselling novelists Stephen King and Don Winslow have offered to donate $200,000 (£153,000) to a children’s hospital if the White House press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, will hold a press conference...
Grisham did not respond directly to the challenge, but told CNN’s Jake Tapper: “If you have $200,000 to play with, why not just help children because it’s a good thing to do? Donations to charity should never come with strings attached.”
To @PressSec Stephanie Grisham
I'm upping my offer to $100,000. @StephenKing has agreed to put in $75,000.
We will donate $175,000 to @StJude in your name & help a lot of kids if you will take questions from the full White House press corps for 1 HOUR in the WH briefing room.
I’ll also make it $100,000. That’s 200 K for charity. And all you have to do is YOUR DAMN JOB! twitter.com/donwinslow/sta…
Using sick children as leverage?
"Hold a press briefing or the kids get it!"
They've lost their minds.
"Hold a press briefing or the kids get it!"
They've lost their minds.
How about just donating to charity if you want to donate to charity, instead of turning it into some sort of twisted coercion gambit?..."
