Cassidy Hutchinson rocks.
The 26-year-old former White House assistant’s courage and character stands in stark contrast to the laundry list of Trump’s spineless sheep who still cower to the defeated former president. She put her safety and career at risk to tell the truth about what she saw and heard behind the scenes in the Trump White House on January 6, 2020. It was stunning testimony.
Hutchinson is a true patriot.

Trump’s flock of complicit sheep do a lot of pleading. They plead the Fifth. They plead for pardons. Plead, plead, plead. Beg, beg, beg. Bleat, bleat, bleat.
Alabama’s Mo Brooks may be the most pathetic sheep of them all (sorry for the slight, Jeff Sessions.) He’s been politically castrated by Trump, yet his tiny coal black heart still bleats for Trumpsterism.

Cassidy Hutchinson Held Their Manhoods Cheap
This afternoon a 26-year-old former assistant showed more courage and integrity than an entire administration full of grown-ass adults who were purportedly working in service to the American people, but had long ago decided to serve only their ambition and grievance.
Cassidy Hutchinson did so at risk to her safety. Her social circle. Her career.
And she overcame all of the self-serving rationalizations that prevented the powerful, whose manhoods she held in her palm, from stepping to the plate.
Hutchinson Puts Trump’s Violence on Display - The Bulwark
Hutchinson put Trump’s capacity for violence and willingness to break the law on display. By doing so, she put herself in danger. This is not theoretical. The committee had to keep her name under wraps out of concerns for her security.
During the last hearing witnesses Rusty Bowers, Gabriel Sterling, Brad Raffensperger, and Shaye Moss talked in detail about how they were threatened and harassed in their homes and at their jobs by Trump supporters. (Remember that Bowers, Sterling, and Raffensperger were/are also Trump supporters. They just weren’t willing to break the law for him following the 2020 election. And for this reason, their fellow Trump supporters threatened to kill them.)
Also: At the end of the hearing, Cheney said the committee had evidence of witness tampering and further acts of intimidation from “Trump World.”
