The president is on Truth Social making his statements.” -Bret Baier on FOX news
Mick Mulvaney, Trump’s former budget chief and acting chief of staff, wrote in a USA Today op-ed on Wednesday that Hutchinson “briefly worked” for him at the White House and he finds her testimony “eminently credible.” While he has long felt the ex-president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election were “wrong but legal,” Mulvaney wrote, the revelations from Tuesday’s hearing have forced him to reconsider. -a previously right wing trump supporter
The editorial board of conservative Beltway paper The Washington Examiner went even further, declaring that Hutchinson’s testimony “ought to ring the death knell” for Trump’s political career. “Trump is unfit to be anywhere near power ever again,” the board wrote.
Noting that “Hutchinson was a conservative Trumpist true believer and a tremendously credible one at that,” the Examiner stated that what she revealed was “disturbing,” “distressing,” and “believable.” “Trump is a disgrace. Republicans have far better options to lead the party in 2024. No one should think otherwise, much less support him, ever again.” -A right wing newspaper.
Even the right wingers who adamantly supported Trump are coming to their senses.
Everyone can see that one side of this story is sworn testimony. The other is a social media post.
Sworn testimony, under threat of perjury, carries far more weight than a social media post.
If Trump wants to come swear under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and give his side of the story, he would be more than welcomed to do so. He could even send Rudy to do the same. Again, the Select Committee would most certainly be glad to give either of them the opportunity to do that.
So what is preventing that?
The swearing to tell the truth thing?
