Former House GOP Conference chair Liz Cheney and former Trump White House aides Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson, and Sarah Matthews recently came together for the first time to voice their opposition to the reelection of former President Donald Trump. The event took place in battleground Pennsylvania, where they made a compelling case against Trump's return to power.
Cheney emphasized the importance of remembering the facts surrounding the events of January 6, 2021, stating that these facts are not merely from political opponents but from individuals who were closest to Trump. She condemned Trump's conduct during that time as depravity and argued that someone who engages in such behavior should not be entrusted with power again.
While Cheney, Hutchinson, and Matthews have endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, Griffin has not publicly done so but frequently expresses concerns about the potential dangers of a second Trump term. Griffin highlighted the need for a course correction and stressed that the character of the nation is reflected in the character of the person occupying the Oval Office, asserting that Trump does not embody the best qualities of the nation.
Matthews, who still identifies as a Republican, shared that her decision to vote for Harris in the upcoming election is based on her lack of trust in Trump's commitment to defending the Constitution. She expressed a desire to return to policy debates in the future.
The women spoke about the impact they have had on each other's lives since January 6, with Hutchinson recalling a conversation with Cheney before her testimony to the House select committee. Cheney's words about the importance of setting an example for women and girls resonated deeply with Hutchinson, who described it as a significant moment. The group emphasized the importance of standing up against political cowardice and praised Cheney for her unwavering stance in defense of the country.
