Stephen King offers $75,000 for White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham to do her job

Bestselling novelist Don Winslow decided to take matters into his own hands — and offered a bounty for Grisham to do her job in a public letter posted on Twitter on Wednesday.

Dear @PressSec,

It has been 301 days since The White House held a press briefing.

I will donate $75,000 to @StJude in your name if you will hold a one hour press conference *this week* with the full White House Press Corps.

What are you afraid of Stephanie?

Best,
Don Winslow


Fellow renowned author Stephen King offered to double the bounty to sweeten the deal.

The White House press corps won't allow Ms. Grisham to get away with her Newspeak. So, it isn't going to happen.

I wonder what happened to that promise? Was the body ever found? Unmarked grave?
