  1. What a brave woman,i can only imagine the guilt eating her alive and fear of speaking out! Im glad she spoke out,kids in school will be reading about this in 100 years from now

    1. @JenX
      What he going to do fire her.. lol like he did everyone else, that went up against him!? No. . I’m woried about his supporters hurting her. It’s some crazy nuts out there!! I mean some of his supporters, will die for this man.

  2. Trump: “They’re not here to hurt me …” No, they weren’t. But they were there to hurt somebody, right? And you knew it.

    1. @Elizabeth Stanley how much is the GOP paying you to do this all day? I go away for 12 hours and you’ve been doing this since i left

  3. THIS THIS THIS. He knew they had weapons. He knew the weapons weren’t intended for him. He knew they were going down to the capital with those weapons. Yet he still encouraged them to go down to the capital to “fight like hell.”

    1. Ed Roberts And even tried to get people with weapons past the magnetometers by saying the magnetometers should be removed. I always reserved the word scumbag for Nixon(even when I voted republican a lot) but the orange pied piper of Mar-a-Lago has made Nixon look like Mickey Mouse.

  4. If your country can’t take this whole thing and shut it down, turn it around and convict and incarcerate guilty individuals, you are truly lost and likely won’t survive as a democracy. It’s that serious.

  5. I was never a fan of the Cheneys but I have to admire Liz Cheney for having the biggest balls in the entire Republican party.

    1. Never liked any of the family and I am absolutely irritated that I agree with Liz Cheney and am impressed by her dedication to what is morally, ethically right.

    2. @THE REAL DEAL
      When did Liz Cheney lean more Democratic?
      She have been a conservative her entire life and as a politician she have voted that way from the beginning.
      Just curious.

    1. @Fred Thomas – She had already been proven to be a liar. The Secret Service agents involved have rebutted her testimony. So much for being “raised right.”

    2. @Gustavo Deugarte – If you call lying to the American People a job well done then Shame on You!

    1. @apologist1 HAHAHA boy are you a naiive one.

      That is exactly what the director went to prison for! Voter fraud!! LOL

  6. “There were- there were several times throughout my tenure with [Trump’s] chief of staff that I was aware of [Trump] either throwing dishes or flipping the tablecloth ummm to let all the contents of the table go onto the floor and… likely break or… (sigh) go everywhere.”

    1. Damn…Ketchup on the new white carpet and white rhino upholstery. “Don Jr” You got to hunt another one of the “endangered animals”.

  7. Cassidy was an outstanding witness. Eloquent, composed and factual; no nonsense, histrionics, or self serving BS. She provided valuable insight into the behind-the-scenes machinations of the traitors. A very brave young woman, who has kept faith with her country and her oath. My sincere prayers go out to her for her continued safety and that this trauma will be gone from her life as soon as possible. Thank you, Ms. Hutchinson, for your bravery and patriotism.

  8. Cassidy deserves a huge hug from America for her courage and she looks like she needs it as the look on her face is sadness and disgust at what her boss,Meadows and Trump had planned. I guess you never realize you’re working for the Devil until he signs your paycheck in blood.

    1. @Red Rick legal abortion, gun laws, free health care, $25 minimum wage, low homeless rate, much higher standard of living than the states so yeah……😏

    2. Except for that one time our president was seen with notes like YOU enter the room, YOU sit at the table, so on and so forth…. just after said president was assaulted by a 10 clip speed bike.

  9. The young people are the only hope left to save America…adults have refused to do their damn job. Thank you miss Cassidy

    1. That’s a bit of a generalization. Just because somebody’s young doesn’t mean they’re always more together than somebody who’s older. And vice versa. Look at Cheney and Kinziger. Pelosi. Biden. Etc.

    2. @Call Me Hakeem I AM GLAD YOU PUT A COUPLE OF WORDS TOGETHER THAT DON’T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE. TRY AGAIN HAKEEM IF YOUR SMART ENOUGH TO HAVE A CONVERSATION SOMETHING THAT THE LEFT ARE AFRAID OF…

  10. To paraphrase a famous Trump quote, “He’s about to go through some things” 🤣🤣🤣

  11. Cassidy Hutchinson is awesome, her integrity beyond is what most American would be willing to testify in public.

    1. @RiteMo LawBks The ones doing nothing were clearly scared of Trump’s base, and still are. What a bunch of spineless cowards.

    2. @Robin Justice Yes, that was my caveat, I was thinking back to Watergate where Senators knew right from wrong.

  12. The most important part of her testimony was what she heard Trump say in the tent before he went out to make his speech that: “They’re not here to hurt me.” He knew they had weapons and he knew they would use them against other people but he wasn’t worried because it wasn’t him they would be hunting. That is a full admission that he knew there would be violence because that was the plan.

  13. This is what a REAL patriot looks like. Good on you Mz. Hutchinson for standing up for the truth. This country needs more brave people like you if we are going to survive much longer.

  14. This young woman needs a medal, almost. She could have come forward when she first heard about violence! None of those men, who had first hand knowledge but wrote books were complicit!!! They all deserve time in jail even if only hours!

    1. A medal for what? Telling stories about what people told her she is lying just making stuff up none of this would hold up in court! If it’s the truth why aren’t they swearing them under oath? Think about that

  15. The Truth has always been there, we just had to wait for a descent person to come forward! Bless you Ms Hutchinson 👍🏻👏🏻 Well done!

  16. It was a crowd known to contain a high percentage of current and former military/LEOs. A high percentage of persons trained in combat, weapons and team mission strategy. It is the Secret Service’s job to asses these situations and crowd threat potential. You will never convince me that the lack of Capitol Hill police or any heightened security was not an inside job.
