Anti-Trump Republican women make push for Kamala Harris calling Trump 'depraved' and the 'the person of the lowest moral character that I've ever worked for'

2 months ago 13

The four most prominent anti-Trump Republican women in the country appeared together onstage for the first time Wednesday night in at attempt to push undecided voters into Vice President Kamala Harris' corner. 

Former Rep. Liz Cheney was joined by ex-Trump administration officials Alyssa Farah Griffin, who's now on The View, Cassidy Hutchinson, known for her eye-popping January 6 testimony, and Sarah Matthews, an outspoken deputy press secretary. 

Cheney had joined Harris on the campaign trail for the first time on Thursday in Ripon, Wisconsin - the birthplace of the Republican Party - which is also in a key swing state. 

On Wednesday, the four women were in the Philadelphia suburbs, a top swing area in Pennsylvania, the most important swing state. 

The women gave stark warnings about a second Trump term and expressed disappointment that so few Republicans - especially so few men - were crossing the aisle to support Harris. 

'Ultimately, for those undecided voters, the real question is whether you are willling to risk putting the power of the most powerful office in the nation and in the whole world in the hands of someone who is depraved,' Cheney told the crowd. 

Ex-Trump officials Cassidy Hutchinson, Sarah Matthews, Alyssa Farah Griffin and former Rep. Liz Cheney joined forces Wednesday and pushed that undecided voters needed to back Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election 

Griffin, who interviewed Harris Tuesday on The View, quit her White House gig in December 2020. 

She explained to the audience that she did so 'because I was uncomfortable with the lies about the election.' 

She was among the Trump officials who were texting White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows to have the then-president call of the crowd during the January 6 Capitol attack. 

While she called January 6 a 'horrific day' she added, 'that was just kind of an encapsulation of who Donald Trump, the man, is.' 

'He is the person of the lowest moral character that I've ever worked for,' she said. 

Griffin then warned what could be expected in a second term. 

'The first term you had people like Vice President Pence there - an imperfect actor - but somebody who I genuinely think tried to guide him the right way and keep him focused and in bounds with the Constitution,' she said.

She said those types of people would not be welcome for round No. 2.  

'They don't want Ronald Reagan Republicans, they want Tucker Carlson Republicans, so buckle up guys,' Griffin said. 

Hutchinson became a public figure after testifying in June 2022 before the House January 6 committee. 

She told the panel that when Trump found out that Attorney General Bill Barr had told the Associated Press that there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, the then-president threw his lunch at the wall

Hutchinson testified that she walked into the White House dining room and 'noticed there was ketchup dripping down the wall. And there's a shattered porcelain plate on the floor.' 

She had also been the source of the testimony that said Trump had a dust-up in the car with his Secret Service detail over not being allowed to go to the U.S. Capitol on January 6. 

For this testimony, Trump attacked her publicly, calling her a 'total phony' and 'bad news.'

Cassidy Hutchinson talked about how 'scary' and 'frightening' the backlash has been after she testified against former President Donald Trump to the House committee on January 6. ''But what frightens me more is the possibility of a second Trump term,' she said Wednesday 

She noted that the backlash 'can be scary at times, it can be frightening' and said that 'people have their reasons for not wanting to be more vocal.' 

'And without knowing their personal reasons I'm not comfortable chastising them or trying to shame them out of their decision,' Hutchinson said.

'But what frightens me more is the possibility of a second Trump term and knowing that I may not have done everything that I could possibly do to make sure that he never gets near the Oval Office again,' she continued. 

'And the closest he gets to the Oval Office is the Joseph Prettyman courthouse when he goes there for his trial,' she said to cheers. 

Matthews has been making the rounds on TV arguing that Republicans should put policy aside for the Constitution. 

'Donald Trump has shown that he will not uphold it. We cannot trust him to defend it. And I don't want to put someone like that back in the Oval Office. He doesn't deserve to step foot anywhere near it, so that is why I'm casting my vote for Kamala Harris,' Matthews said. 

Griffin then argued that Trump isn't a traditional conservative on policy anyways. 

'I would also argue Donald Trump has betrayed what it meant to be a conservative,' she said. 'He is not running on what made us all Republicans.' 

'Whether it's blocking a border security bill that would have secured the border, whether it's betraying our allies by not supporting Ukraine, whether it's caving to China by backing down on a bank of TikTok, there are so many examples,' Griffin said. 'Wanting to put in place tariffs that are going to be a recessive tax on consumers.' 

'So you can definitely put policy aside, because he's not running as a Republican,' The View co-host argued.
