Former President Donald Trump went after his former communications director Alyssa Farah in a statement Monday, calling her a 'backbencher' who was 'terrible' when she recently guest hosted The View.
'Heard that Alyssa Farah was terrible on The View - they could have asked the people who know her and saved a lot of time,' Trump said. 'She was a "backbencher" in the White House and is now a nobody again. We put her out there to face the public as little as possible,' he added.
Trump's statement was seemingly prompted by comments Farah made to CNN on Saturday, when she told anchor Pamela Brown that the ex-president previously admitted to her that he lost the 2020 presidential election.

Farah added that it was 'scary' that Trump's aides and allies were able to change his mind.
In the statement Monday, Trump denied this was the case.
'By the way, as soon as the Crime of the Century happened on November 3rd, I knew the Election was Rigged and Stolen, and never changed my view on that one bit. I did not go soft on the "Real" Big Lie, the Election Scam, and never will,' Trump said.
'Backbencher said I told her I lost the Election—never did,' the former president continued. 'I virtually never even spoke to Farah (it's like she didn’t even exist in the White House).'
'Anybody who ever says that I thought the Election was legit, even for a moment, is wrong. All you have to do is look at the thousands of pages of documents and evidence - which continues to mount,' Trump falsely claimed.
Trump pushed that Farah was lying about their conversation for money.
'It’s amazing how these people leave with respect and adoration for me and others in the White House, but as soon as CNN or other cameras get shoved in their face, or the losers from the The View ask a question, or money gets thrown at them, or someone writes a fake book, inglorious lightweights like Farah change so quickly,' Trump said. 'I watched this clown on television saying exactly what they wanted her to say and I watched the lies. Was she paid by low-ratings CNN?' he mused.
To conclude the statement, Trump said that Farah sent him a 'very nice letter' once he told her to 'hit the road' at the tail end of his administration.
Alyssa Farah was a guest host on The View in early October. In his statement today, Trump said she was 'terrible' on the talk show
The letter, Trump said, stated that 'working for "Trump" was "the honor of a lifetime" and she was "deeply proud of the incredible things we were able to accomplish to make our country stronger, safe and more secure."'
'Show the rest of the letter Alyssa, and expalin why you wrote it!' the ex-president demanded.
Farah told CNN in a Saturday interview 'honesty, I'm not sure' if Trump believes now that he legitimately lost the election to President Joe Biden.
