1. Great interview.

[Rhiannon12866]

25. I agree. It took a lot of courage to testify as she did - not to mention appear on national TV

But she did a great job. Ans Lawrence O'Donnell said, there is o reason to question her integrity.

[Faux pas]

2. I'm

not surprised that Ms Hutchison is so much smarter than the balless dolts she worked for. All I can say is you go gurl, take them ALL DOWN!!!!

[Deuxcents]

3. Good interview. I wish that I, at 27, had made good judgements

I think she’s been baptized by fire in the highest of places called the swamp. She’s educated and found herself in a dream job but that dream turned into a nightmare for her and she showed better values and instincts than all the men put together. Her convictions won in the end and so did she. I hope that she would find a new home with the democrats.

11. Same here! I cannot imagine the pressure, yikes! And she was only 24!

And you're right, kudos to her for doing the next right thing even under all that pressure. IIRC, Liz Cheney was there for her which likely meant quite a lot. And I sure agree with you that she finally realizes that this is no longer her father's Republican party - it now completely belongs to TFG whose actions and beliefs she has understandably rejected.

4. TY for posting this!

[Rhiannon12866]

5. Well, it's not the entire interview, so I'm guessing there will be more,

But I knew that DUers would be especially interested so I'm posting the videos as they are available! And I did watch the interview and was certainly impressed! And she was also awesome before the J6 Committee!

6. You beat me to posting this

She figurative castrates Gaetz.

[Rhiannon12866]

8. I always post prime time MSNBC since that's what I watch - and this was a banner night!

7. If Republicans are capable of shame

This interview should evoke it in all of them. Her moral compass and courage—as a 20-something with no resources or safety nets—shines a light on the scattering cockroaches they are.

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I agree that she has been extraordinarily courageous in speaking out with the truth

I can't imagine how I would have handled such extraordinary national pressure! Especially when she testified before the J6 Committee at 24!

10. Better late, than never.

She is still the same person who helped enable the swamp for 4 years and was dancing to YMCA with

[Deuxcents]

12. I will disagree. She is not the same person she was.

That young woman with ambition and great responsibility learned the hard way that her conscience was not going to be ignored. She did the right thing for the country she proclaimed to love. My hope is that she stays strong and safe.

[Rhiannon12866]

13. I completely agree.

[BigmanPigman]

14. She chose to sleep with dogs

I have no respect for anyone who does that and then "changes". Total BS! She is still a GQP supporter and is only doing this since she needs the $$$ to pay her legal bills. She is like the rest of them, she is still a vile GQP supporter just not AS vile as the rest. She is not a person to respect, she is the same as her pals...just in need of $$$ since she got caught. Boo fucking hoo

15. Meadows probably had the hots for her, seems like everyone in Trumpworld did.

Meadows probably hired her for her looks, but unfortunately for him, she had a brain too.

[Rhiannon12866]

16. And it creeped me out that Gaetz tried anything with her, he was almost 40 and she was 24

When I was her age, I thought 30 was old!

[SunSeeker]

17. Right? He tried TWICE! Once at her cabin and once at a bar.

That creepy scumbag won't take no for an answer!

[Rhiannon12866]

18. And he claimed he "dated" her - that's what he considers "dating??"

[SunSeeker]

19. He is such a creepy, lying, LOSER.

[Rhiannon12866]

20. I looked him up to see how old he was and it turns out he's married now! Poor woman...

[SunSeeker]

21. Yeah, he hurried up and married right in the middle of the child rape allegations.

Then he paraded the young woman around to try to show he was an upstanding family man. I think his wife is about the same age as his "son" Nestor, the Cuban pool boy he "adopted."

[Rhiannon12866]

22. Oh, boy! All it said was that she's the sister of a "Republican donor" - who is 31.

What a creep...

23. Good on Cassidy H! TY

[Rhiannon12866]

24. Agree that she was quite impressive!
