Stephanie Grisham replaced Sarah Sanders as White House press secretary only recently, but Grisham reportedly has already been injured on the job.
Grisham suffered bruises when a scuffle broke out Sunday between North Korean security guards and members of the media trying to get close to President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as they shook hands at the Demilitarized Zone, the Associated Press reported.
The new press secretary was reportedly pushing back against the guards, trying to help members of the White House press corps position themselves to cover the historic moment between Trump and Kim.

Several reporters tweeted about the clash between the guards and the media.
It was not immediately clear if Grisham required medical attention or if anyone else was injured or detained by the guards.
Grisham, 42, had been a spokeswoman for first lady Melania Trump before being named last week as the successor to Sarah Sanders, whose last day at the White House was Friday.

America has lost the respect it deserves. This is what happens when a President grovels at the feet of a dictator and falls in love with him while receiving nothing in return.
crazykanoiy, “America has lost the respect” when your deity Obama traveled around the world apologizing to the Islamo-Nazi dictators for alleged American “crimes” and making love-fest with Cuban communist dictators using giant portrait of murderous thug Che Guevara as a background.
