If we survive the Trump years it seems as if it’s going to be the women who stood up to save democracy. Fani Willis, Letitia James, Nancy Pelosi, Liz Cheney, and Cassidy Hutchinson and others.

The full episode of Lawrence O’Donnell’s hour long interview with Cassidy Hutchinson does not appear to be available on YouTube or on the MSNBC website. In order to see the entire interview I suspect you have to subscribe to Peacock. If you missed it, the best you can do now is catch a few clips that do not do it justice. Hopefully, it will be available at some time in the future because it was by far the best media interview of the ones I’ve seen, including Maddow’s. Below is a highlight from the show followed by Cassidy’s full testimony before the January 6 committee that every American should see.

By the way, Cassidy’s book Enough is the #1 best seller in biographies and memoirs on Amazon beating out Elon Musk. I devoured Cassidy’s book Enough over the weekend. It is a detailed account of how things went down and her growing feelings of unease during her tenure at the White House. She wrote about her childhood, her relationships with her family and her father who, although she doesn’t come out and say it herself, had a personality much like Donald Trump, based on some of her anecdotes about him.

Interestingly, when she later reflected on why she was not alarmed about Trump’s behavior sooner, she said that when Trump had anger outbursts or behaved badly, instead of thinking he wasn’t fit to be president, she felt sad and blamed herself for not doing enough for him, not making his job easier for him, not being good enough at her job. Growing up with a father that seemed to have the same brand of crazy as Donald Trump, she would have had to learn at a very young age how to placate, make excuses for him, and blame herself.

Happily, she came through it okay. She found her way and extricated herself from the craziness just in time to save herself and hopefully, in time to save democracy.

She will go down in history as a great American patriot and hero.
