'They’re being fooled by him': Ex-aide Cassidy Hutchinson describes final Trump rally
Donald Trump's former aide Cassidy Hutchinson has recently reemerged on the scene after her big moment as a star Jan. 6 witness against the ex-president, and she explained in a new interview what it was like to attend her final rally for her former boss.
Hutchinson has previously seen what it was like to be insulted by Trump. In fact, Trump in July took a swipe at the former White House aide to Mark Meadows while he was attacking a fellow contender for the Republican presidential nomination.
After disappearing from the political world, she is now back in the game with a new book, and a revealing interview with the New York Times on Saturday.
POLL: Should Trump be allowed to run for office?
In the interview, Hutchinson describes what it was like to go from an adoring fan of Trump, to someone who saw him as a major threat. Specifically, her final Trump rally appeared to serve as a pivotal moment.
"During the interview, Ms. Hutchinson recalled the final Trump rally she attended, in Rome, Ga., two days before the 2020 election, and how starkly different her reaction was from the first such event she had attended only three and a half years earlier," according to the report.
"'I’m getting goose bumps thinking about it,' she said. 'I was weaving in and out of the crowd. I remember thinking, ‘Why do I feel so disconnected from everything that’s going on?’ Just looking at everyone looking at this man onstage the way I had. But now I’m on the other side of it, thinking, ‘They’re being fooled by him.'"
