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.

Anyone who has paid attention in the past 4 years, know that if Trump is not back in the Presidency, we lose this nation.
Anyone arguing that get the next plane out.. Doesn’t matter where.. Just go.

I’m tired of wimps, undecided, ignorance, blind, media fed folks. Get a grip on reality.. Our nation has been invaded with millions of whoevers.. Drugs flowing in.. Cartel controlling the border instead of our military.. UWe have ignorance and willful communism type government making decisions that are unbelievable for the once great United States.. Foreign in mind running the government and my country into the ground.

There is no wisdom.. Just blind determination to control this country away from God and into globalist..
Brain drain and serving Satan.

**American democracy” has nothing to do with either America or democracy.**

It’s anyone they disagree with. They are ignorant of truth.. They live to see truth and God gone.. They can’t stand to think there is God who is greater than they.. For if there is a God, then they are wrong and lost. Denial is their friend..
Pity them. Deny them.

I think Trump plays a minor roll in what you quite rightly complain about. Meaning, I think THE LEFT has adopted a sort of blitzkrieg, anything goes, nuke em approach to THE RIGHT.

If THE RIGHT doesn’t agree, remove em from the ballot, file a lawsuit, impeach them (twice) kill em (Seth Rich), lock em up (Jan 6), running for president are you....file 97 felonies against you!

No, WHOEVER the Republicans run from now on will be treated the same as Trump by the Democrats, RINO’s and MSM because they have found IT WORKS !!

According to Trump, pretty much everyone he hired, he now considers worthless. Doesn’t say much about his discernment.

What is a real threat to democracy is when someone takes the office of the presidency who was not fairly elected.

Didn’t know that, but Joe Farah is or was a great conservative columnist. I understand he was gravely ill for a while.

“Vapid emoting posing as news.”

That’s my conclusion.

I looked for their reasoning and found:

One of them said that in this next election, they would put policy aside and choose democracy.

Later on someone says it’s not about policy or politics but about Trump’s character.

Two of them credited the 3rd one with connecting them with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

They didn’t criticize Trump except for the election controversy and the Jan 6 incident, and Trump has “targeted” them. Also Trump’s saying that he would be dictator only on day 1.
