It Was UnAmerican

Top White House aide testifies how Trump conspired to use a violent mob to overturn the election and tweeted encouragement to a violent mob chanting, "Hang Mike Pence."

Cassidy Hutchinson, executive assistant to Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, gave detailed and devastating testimony on how Trump knew the January 6 rioters were armed with weapons and still encouraged violence against the Vice-President. Hutchinson testified, “As an American, I was disgusted, it was unpatriotic, it was un-American."
