Cassidy Hutchinson, a former Trump White House aide, said she had to flee Washington, D.C. for safety after she testified before the Jan. 6 Committee.
“I could not go back to my apartment,” Hutchinson told reporter Tracy Smith in an interview set to air Sunday on “CBS New Sunday Morning.”
Hutchinson, the former assistant to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, said her safety was threatened. Her legal team recommended she leave town.
“I ended up moving down to Atlanta for several months,” she said.
Hutchinson was the first White House member to testify before the committee. On June 28, 2022, Hutchinson told the committee about what she witnessed in the days following the Capitol insurrection.
The former aide told Smith that she almost “darted” from the holding room before testifying.
“I heard the door click open and I turned around and I looked at my attorney and said ‘I can’t do this.’ And I started to walk and he gently pushed my shoulders. And he said, ‘You can do this.’ And then we walked out,” Hutchinson said in the interview.
Hutchinson said she is still a Republican but will not be supporting former President Trump’s White House bid in the 2024 election.
Hutchinson is releasing a book which details her experience in the White House and leading up to testifying at the committee. Her book accuses former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani of groping her backstage during Trump’s Jan. 6 rally.
Hutchinson’s first TV interview will air on CBS and be available for streaming on Sept. 24. Her book, titled “Enough,” is set to publish on Sept. 26.
I think the funniest things is that she is STILL a loyal Republican. She knows the type of people they are, and she still refuses to leave the party or denounce them.
The vast majority of republican politicians are trump supporters. They have the party. They control it. All the current nominees are aping the trump brand in the hopes that enough clueless idiots will vote for them. The time of McCain and Bush are long gone — these proto-fascists have taken the party and they won’t let go until
- They’re destroyed;
- They win and seek out an eliminate anyone in power with left-leaning politics.
I just hope the vast majority of us who aren’t a part of the lunatic fringe can hold these psychos off enough for a decade or two until the demographic shifts make it mathematically impossible for them to win anything again.
God I hope so, but things are looking dire. The way I see it, if trump wins in 2024, they’ll do everything in their power to never let the democrats win again. This includes gerrymandering and more illegal things like straight up reducing the Democrats abilities to organize and run for office, reducing them to a pet the Repubs keep around so they can point to it and pretend they still have democracy.
They know that everyone under 30 votes Dem. They know their politics are unpopular. This is an existential threat to them and they know it.
Why they are trying to make it so we can’t vote and they fighting to turn us into a dictatorship and I fear they are winning.
That’s because they are.
It’s insane, I can’t believe she is still a Republican. The (literal in many cases) death grip that party has on people.
I don’t know anybody who is that proud of being a Democrat, even the people I know who work in the local party office…
Yep if something better showed up I’d be there in a hot second.
People have been raised in the two party system to equate right-wing with republican and left wing with democrat.
She may simply mean that she is still right wing, rather than republican, since a bad experience with a political party is unlikely to change your fundamental beliefs on how a country should function.
Just as if a Democrat were to be treated horribly by the Biden administration, they probably wouldn’t all of a sudden be anti-abortion and anti-lgbtq+
That’s what baffles me. I considered myself an independent voter before Trump and the events that followed. Now I can’t in my wildest dreams imagine voting for a Republican again.
She’s one of those people who just wants low taxes and doesn’t give a shit if a few poors get shafted.
That’s what baffles me. I considered myself an independent voter before Trump and the events that followed. Now I can’t in my wildest dreams imagine voting for a Republican again. Democrats down the ballot.
Whatever you think of her former employer, this was a White House aide getting credible death threats over testifying to a U.S. congressional committee like she was a Mafia turncoat or something. It’s appalling.
There’s a reason Trump is getting RICO charges in Georgia, and it might be because he’s the boss of a mob of violent idiots.
Mafia turncoat
Russian mafia to be precise.
I’m not a fan.
