Former Trump White House insiders call possible 2nd term a threat to American democracy
ABC via Yahoo ^ | December 31st, 2023 | SOO RIN KIM and QUINN SCANLAN

Three women who served in former President Donald Trump's White House are now warning against a possible second Trump term, with one of them saying it could mean "the end of American democracy as we know it."

For the first time, former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews, and former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson sat down together with ABC News "This Week" co-anchor Jonathan Karl to discuss their roles in speaking out against Trump in the wake of Jan. 6.

"Fundamentally, a second Trump term could mean the end of American democracy as we know it, and I don't say that lightly," Griffin, now a co-host of ABC's "The View," told Karl, accusing the former president of having gone to "historic and unconstitutional lengths" in attempting to "steal a democratic election" and to stay in power.

"I'm very concerned about what the term would actually look like," Griffin continued.

Near as I can tell, what people these days call “American democracy” has nothing to do with either America or democracy.

Among many he hastily imported into his administration.

‘Somebody’ was responsible; no one has yet been held accountable.

Of course they do. They are a bunch of trash writing, lying gold digging, liberal ass moles posing as Trump’s friends. Another great American scam. A lot of them got rich off of trashing President Trump. They can all rot in hell.

Another set of interviews to subconsciously plant this narrative into people’s minds.

It only has to be a fraction of a percent of voters who otherwise would vote Republican to convince to sway the election.

Trump / GOP not only have to counter the ad campaign from the Democrats, but also the “free media” the Democrats get from broadcasts like this. If they are not fully funded to match this dollar for dollar and even surpass it, we will lose. The base cannot continue to sit on their behinds and keep their wallets closed for yet another election cycle.

Just telling the enemedia what they want to hear. None of it is true, or based in any kind of reality.

I see three names that will surely be stricken from Team Trump’s hiring list as of January 20, 2025. Nothing like burning a bridge that won’t ever be crossed anyway.

These stupid women think we have an 'American Democracy'.

That's exactly why we need Trump in office, so we can restore our 'American Republic'.

Oh good God do they ever EVER stop with this BS?? I don’t know if I can take 2024, the year hasn’t even started yet and look at all the insane crap they are pulling already. “Trump is a threat to democracy, Trump is a threat to democracy while we in fact threaten democracy ourselves by abusing justice and removing a candidate from the ballot”

Isn’t Hutchinson the one who claimed Trump grabbed the wheel of the Beast? She is rotten “plant” that keeps flapping her gums to destroy Trump.

ABC is Disney, and Disney is a menacing multinational.

Oh for eff sakes!!

Threat to “our democracy” = “their democracy” = you shut the hell up and obey.

So yah, Trump is a threat to that, as is anyone who opposes them.

When democrats say that something is a threat to democracy, they mean it is a threat to the Democratic party.
