A White House stenographer says she resigned over the Trump administration's lack of respect for her office after President Trump reduced the roles of the White House position.
Beck Dorey-Stein, who worked as a stenographer for the White House during the second half of the Obama administration, told CNN's New Day on Wednesday that Trump's refusal to allow stenographers in the room for meetings and interviews with some journalists crossed a line.
"I quit because I couldn't be proud of where I worked anymore," Dorey-Stein said. "I felt like President Trump was lying to the American people, and also ... not even trying to tell the truth. He wasn't even going the extra mile to have the stenographers in the room"

In an op-ed for The New York Times, Dorey-Stein added that Trump's dislike for microphones "near his face" resulted in her office having less access to the Oval Office, in many cases resulting in no stenographer being present for press conferences or meetings.
"In my five years with President Barack Obama, off-the-record discussions with reporters happened after work hours — not for an hour in the middle of the work day, and certainly not before an interview," she said, speaking of Trump's off-the-record conversation with former Fox News host Bill O'Reilly.

I accepted a job being a stenographer decades ago when shorthand was taught in high school. I was told beforehand that every steno who took dictation from that particular boss eventually came out of his office in tears. I got a nice little salary compensation for taking dictation and until I left that job for greener ($$) pastures, I never felt the need to cry or even tear up when working for him. He simply wanted his letters, correspondence, and memos to say exactly what he was trying to say. This complaining and quitting steno should have quit long before she did.
The key phrase here is, “In my five years with President Barack Obama . . . .”
Boo Freaking Hoo!!! BECK?? what kind of first name is BECK?
Unless you are a moonbat, as this person 100% obviously is. Then feelings are the MOST important thing...
Break out the fainting couches for this Leftist dimwit. As another poster said, if she was proud to work with Barack Obama, that says it all.
“he wasn’t even going the extra mile to have the stenographers in the room”
Holy Constitutional Crisis. Trump be violatin’ the Steno Clause, and the Extra Mile Amendment. Wait til Maxine hears. Start the ‘peachment!
Oh wait, the woman quit a “make work” job, obsolete in the private sector for 2 decades, except for deposition transcribers? Next up: “All 50 Obama Key-Punch Operators Feel Disrespected”.
She felt dishonored because she was locked out of too many President Trump meetings. She didn’t understand that the narcissism of President Obama was probably what led him to believe that every one of his off hand utterances should be preserved for posterity.
Trump is running a country, not a fan club.
Seems silly, but after Obama, I wouldn’t trust ANYONE not to be loyal to that creep and do me and my staff harm.
Now that’s hilarious! How she could accuse Trump of lying to the people with a straight face after spending a full term with the most deceptive president in US history? It seems she was partial to the off-hours overtime she got to clock under Zero so her being miffed over being expected to perform ‘middle-of-the-work day’ work is understandable for someone who thinks they are more important and powerful than they are. Good riddance to another swampcritter.
Feeling..nothing more than feeling..
That name.....oh my...sometimes jokes right themselves.
Beck “pedorkey stain”?
“what kind of first name is BECK?”
Somebody named after a beer?
HFC?
Jesus H! Can Trump garner NO loyalty?
He can’t even ask prospective employees if they are loyal. Oh! The Horror!
Google her and go to images. It will tell you all you need to know about this person.
She is questioning his work methods?
Not a good plan for any subordinate.
New Boss? New rules. Adjust or get out.
How did she know he was lying if she wasn’t allowed in the room?
She's a gum-cuzzling 0bama whore.
Enough said.
Right up there with buggy whips, stovepipe hats, and punchcards.
Someone upthread said they’d have fired every leftover from the traitor halfrican’s tenure.
Following thorough reviews, and with very few deserving exceptions, I completely agree.
Imagine that !
You did your job well (sans drama) for someone who expected competence and rewarded you for same.
Those concepts have become alien to the minds of millions in our national devolution.
