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’
The four most prominent Republican women against Trump appeared on stage together for the first time on Wednesday evening in an attempt to push undecided voters into Vice President Kamala Harris’s corner.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney was joined by ex-Trump administration officials Alyssa Farah Griffin, now on The View, Cassidy Hutchinson, known for her eye-popping Jan. 6 testimony, and Sarah Matthews, an outspoken deputy press secretary.
Cheney 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 suburbs of Philadelphia, a top swing area in Pennsylvania, the key swing state.
The women sharply warned against a second Trump term and expressed disappointment that so few Republicans — especially so few men — crossed the aisle to support Harris.
“Ultimately, for those undecided voters, the real question is whether you are willing to risk putting the power of the most powerful office in the country and in the 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 to insist that undecided voters should back Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in the upcoming presidential election
Griffin, who interviewed Harris on The View on Tuesday, quit her White House gig in December 2020.
She explained to the audience that she did so “because I didn’t feel comfortable with the lies about the election.”
She was among Trump officials who texted White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to have the then-president call the mob during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
While she called Jan. 6 a “horrific day,” she added, “That was just kind of a summary of who Donald Trump, the man, is.”
“He is the lowest moral character I have 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 someone who I honestly think tried to guide him in the right way and keep him focused and within the bounds of the Constitution,” he said. them.

She said people like this wouldn’t be welcome for round #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 before the House of Representatives’ January 6 committee in June 2022.
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 against the wall.
Hutchinson testified that she walked into the White House dining room and “noticed ketchup dripping down the wall.” And there’s a broken china plate on the floor.’
She had also been the source of testimony that Trump had argued in the car with his Secret Service colleague because he was not allowed to go to the US Capitol on January 6.
Before this testimony, Trump publicly attacked her, calling her a “total fake” and “bad news.”
Cassidy Hutchinson testified that former President Donald Trump threw his lunch against a wall and got dust in his car when the Secret Service refused to take him to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Cassidy Hutchinson spoke about how “frightening” and “terrifying” the reaction was after testifying against former President Donald Trump before a House committee on January 6. “But what scares me even more is the possibility of a second Trump term,” she says. said Wednesday
She noted that the response “can be scary at times, it can be frightening” and said that “people have their reasons for not wanting to be louder.”
“And without knowing their personal reasons, I don’t feel comfortable chastising them or trying to shame them for their decision,” Hutchinson said.
“But what scares me even more is the possibility of a second Trump term and the knowledge that I may not have done everything I could possibly do to ensure he never comes near the Oval Office again.” she continued.
“And the closest he’ll get to the Oval Office is the Joseph Prettyman courthouse when he goes there for his trial,” she said, cheering.
Matthews has been making the rounds on TV arguing that Republicans should override policy for the Constitution.
“Donald Trump has shown that he will not last. We can’t 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 even step near that, so that’s why I’m casting my vote for Kamala Harris,” Matthews said.
Griffin then argued that Trump is not a traditional conservative on policy anyway.
“I would also argue that Donald Trump has betrayed what it meant to be a conservative,” she said. “He’s not concerned with what made us all Republicans.”
“Whether it’s blocking a border security law that would have secured the border, whether it’s betraying our allies by not supporting Ukraine, or whether it’s capitulating to China by pulling out of TikTok, there are so many examples,” he said. Griffin. “I want to implement tariffs that will be a recessive tax on consumers.”
“So you can certainly override the policy, because he’s not running as a Republican,” The View co-host argued.
