People For Supporter,
Last week the January 6 Select Committee heard explosive testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson about the extent to which Trump stirred up the crowd that day and about his growing frustration with aides who refused to affirm the Big Lie.
Did you watch Cassidy’s testimony before the committee? Do you plan to watch the upcoming hearing on Tuesday, July 12? Let us know in our short survey >>
Q1: What part of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony was most shocking for you to learn?
◯ Trump knew that his supporters were armed on Jan. 6 and still urged them to march to the US Capitol building >>
◯ When Trump was told that he could not go with his supporters to the Capitol building, he lunged at a Secret Service member and attempted to take control of the steering wheel. >>
◯ That as Rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence;” Trump refused to call for an end to the violence, because he thought Pence deserved it. >>
◯ Members of Trump’s cabinet being so worried by the assault on the Capitol and his encouragement of the mob and refusal to intervene that they discussed invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office >>
The testimony was so damning that even conservative media outlets were left stunned by the coverage, with National Review saying, “Cassidy Hutchinson’s Testimony against Trump Is Devastating,” and the Washington Examiner issuing an editorial stating “Trump proven unfit for power again.” [1, 2]
As the walls come tumbling down around Trump, we must remain vigilant in keeping up the pressure to hold the insurrectionists and those who enabled them accountable.
Please take a moment to give us your feedback on the latest developments from the committee by taking our three-question survey now >>
Thanks as always for all that you do,
Zach, People For the American Way
