Former aide Cassidy Hutchinson has revealed that Donald Trump is “frightened” and “threatened” about the public learning of his alleged involvement in the Capitol riots that took place on January 6, 2021. Hutchinson testified before the House January 6 committee and claimed that Trump was aware some of his supporters were armed during the riots but still urged them to march to the Capitol. She also stated that Trump did not care that his supporters were chanting “hang Mike Pence” during the riot, showcasing his lack of concern for the safety of others.
Hutchinson further commented on Trump’s behavior, stating that he is lashing out because he does not want the American people to know that he was responsible for the attack on democracy during the Capitol riots. She mentioned that Trump is deploying his loyal allies on Capitol Hill to discredit testimonies and investigations related to January 6, in an attempt to spread false narratives and deceive the public. Hutchinson believes that Trump’s actions could lead to America tumbling towards a dictatorship if left unchecked, urging people to stand up against his misinformation and hold him accountable for his actions.
In response to Trump attacking her on social media for speaking out against him, Hutchinson expressed that she knows when Trump is getting nervous and feels threatened by the truth coming out. She highlighted Trump’s attempts to smear facts with deceit and lies, mentioning that he knew there were weapons in the crowd during the riots. Hutchinson also warned that those who speak out against Trump may need security, indicating the potential risks involved in challenging the former president.
Hutchinson has been vocal in her opposition to Trump’s actions and has urged people to vote for President Joe Biden to preserve democracy. She expressed concerns that if Trump were to be elected in 2024, it could jeopardize the democratic process in the future. Hutchinson emphasized the importance of holding Trump accountable for his actions, especially in relation to the Capitol riots and his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
In light of Trump’s indictment on four felony charges related to the Capitol riots, including conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of official proceedings, and conspiracy against rights, it is evident that the legal repercussions of his actions are catching up to him. Despite pleading not guilty to the charges, Trump continues to deny any wrongdoing, further highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in addressing the events of January 6. Hutchinson’s testimony sheds light on Trump’s fear of the truth coming to light and the potential implications for the future of democracy in America.
