(CNN) — A former White House stenographer who quit working for President Donald Trump after years in the Obama administration said she left after losing pride in her workplace under Trump. “I quit because I couldn’t be proud of where I worked anymore,” Beck Dorey-Stein said Wednesday in an interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota on “New Day.” Dorey-Stein continued, “I was so proud to serve under the Obama administration, and I felt like President Trump was lying to the American people and also not even trying to lie, like not even trying to tell the truth.” Dorey-Stein explained that stenographers allow the White House to establish their own complete records of what a president says in an interview with the press, and if the President feels the need to challenge an account of their word in the media or correct a misquotation, the White House can refer to the transcript from the stenographers. She said that while then-President Barack Obama supported the stenographers’ work, she found Trump bristled at the concept while she was there. “President Trump, we quickly learned, does not like microphones near his face, which is difficult because as a stenographer we often had to do that,” Dorey-Stein said. “And so, his White House and his press office often didn’t include us in meetings with the press.” Dorey-Stein penned an op-ed Tuesday in The New York Times reacting to Trump disputing his interview overseas with The Sun, a British paper that posted audio clips of its interview with Trump. In her piece, she said Trump had been averse to being recorded and transcribed even though it would provide a complete record of his words if he really was being misquoted. “It’s clear that White House stenographers do not serve his administration, but rather his adversary: the truth,” she wrote.<doc-sep>A White House stenographer says she resigned over the Trump administration's lack of respect for her office after President Trump Donald TrumpTrump lashes out after grand jury seated for New York criminal probe Schumer tees up vote on Jan. 6 commission bill Senators struggle to save Jan. 6 commission MORE reduced the roles of the White House position.

"In my five years with President Barack Obama Barack Hussein ObamaWarren urges Biden to replace Fed's Quarles in testy exchange Content of Biden's agenda trumps Republican complaints about process Obama to join social media event on vaccines next week MORE, 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. "Mr. Trump likes to call anyone who disagrees with him 'fake news.' But if he’s really the victim of so much inaccurate reporting, why is he so averse to having the facts recorded and transcribed?" Dorey-Stein chalked up Trump's hesitation to utilize the stenographer's office to his administration's unwillingness to adequately learn about the position during the transition period last year, as well as the Trump team's lack of contact with Obama staffers during the move. "Perhaps he didn’t fully understand the role of the stenographer. That would make sense, since his administration had rebuffed every invitation from the Obama transition team during an inherently stressful time, including to learn how to keep the lights on," she wrote. Trump was heavily criticized in British media after he gave an interview last week to the tabloid The Sun during his four-day stay in the United Kingdom, an interview that Trump later criticized as "fake news" after his remarks aimed at British Prime Minister Theresa May were widely reported. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later clarified his remarks in a statement to The Hill. “As he said in his interview with the Sun [May] ‘is a very good person’ and he ‘never said anything bad about her,’” Sanders said in a statement to The Hill. “He thought she was great on NATO today and is a really terrific person." “He is thankful for the wonderful welcome from the Prime Minister here in the U.K.”<doc-sep>Photo : Tom Pennington ( Getty Images ) It’s one thing for you and I to know that President FuFu von HeistHouse is a lying-ass liar, but it’s quite another for the former White House stenographer to quit her job because the president is trash. Advertisement Well, that’s what happened with Beck Dorey-Stein, the former White House stenographer who resigned after Trump refused to allow the transcribers into meetings and interviews, mostly because the president is pulling random tales out of his ass and therefore hates to be recorded. “I quit because I couldn’t be proud of where I worked anymore,” Dorey-Stein who worked as a stenographer for the White House during the second half of the Obama administration, told CNN’s New Day, The Hill reports. “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.” Dorey-Stein noted in a op-ed for the The New York Times that because Trump didn’t like microphones “near his face” because of the caca that is coming out of his mouth, stenographers had less access to the president and, “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,” said Dorey-Stein, noting Trump’s off the record interview with friend of the Trump administration and former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, The Hill reports. “Mr. Trump likes to call anyone who disagrees with him ‘fake news.’ But if he’s really the victim of so much inaccurate reporting, why is he so averse to having the facts recorded and transcribed?” Advertisement Let me see if that I can field that question for Dorey-Stein: Trump is a messy bitch who lives for drama. He’s also a liar who wishes to be a dictator and he’s a liar with really small hands. Dorey-Stein went on to wax that maybe Trump didn’t understand what a stenographer’s actually role was since he’s really stupid.

That would make sense, since his administration had rebuffed every invitation from the Obama transition team during an inherently stressful time, including to learn how to keep the lights on,” she wrote.

A former White House stenographer on Wednesday offered new details into why she resigned from the post, saying she felt President Donald Trump was "not even trying to tell the truth" to the American public. Beck Dorey-Stein began as a White House stenographer in 2012 under the Obama administration, and resigned just months after Trump took office. "I quit because I couldn't be proud of where I worked anymore," she told CNN's "New Day." "I was so proud to serve under the Obama administration, and 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," she said. Breaking with precedent, she said the Trump White House office often "didn't include us [stenographers] in his meetings with the press." The president, "we quickly learned, does not like microphones near his face." SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Never Miss a Beat. Get our best delivered to your inbox. She said she'd "never seen anything" like what happened before Trump's interview with Bill O'Reilly in 2017 when Trump spent an hour with the former Fox News host in private ahead of their interview. "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 wrote in an op-ed at the New York Times. "When a president spoke on the record with a reporter, his staff made sure to have a stenographer present so there could be an official White House transcript, just in case the reporter came out with an inaccurate quotation." "If President Trump was really interested in fighting 'fake news,' he would have a stenographer present and also would have that transcript ready to go and say, '...We have the transcript, we can just refer to this,'" she said, also pointed to a recent interview Trump gave with British tabloid The Sun which he dubbed "fake news." "Mr. Trump likes to call anyone who disagrees with him 'fake news,'" she wrote at the Times. "But if he's really the victim of so much inaccurate reporting, why is he so averse to having the facts recorded and transcribed?" "It's clear that White House stenographers do not serve his administration, but rather his adversary: the truth," she concluded. Watch her interview on CNN below:
