Malcolm Nance just criticized Cassidy Hutchinson for

134. I'm very disappointed to see so many cynical comments and perspectives on this thread.

How about a little understanding?

Her father became a rabid MAGA. What was he before Trump, he the father who would have guided and influenced her early years?

She has claimed to be a Republican dating back to the Reagan era. That was before she was born. So who indoctrinated her? Obviously it would have been her future MAGA father.

She was interested in public service in the political arena. Career advancement opportunities can bend the career arc of a person away from the original goal. Her job opportunities were very prestigious, especially for such a young woman. Many people do not realize their career, or life, is off track until they have a mid-life crisis.

She was working in an arena of power hungry men and Trump's mobster mentality. Furthermore, Trump is a master con man. At least a third, perhaps almost half of the entire country have been conned by him - "love him!"

Her parents have been divorced for quite some time. It appears her mother is the special support person in her life. In fact, there was a time when her mother called her and told her to turn on Lawrence O'Donnell.

The man from the Nixon era who, under questioning about the existence of tape recordings, was extremely hesitant to tell the truth, long pause. Source: video clip. She read his book three times (in a matter of hours, I think) as she was trying to deal with her honor(truth) versus loyalty dilemma.

More personal, I favored Nixon as I reached voting age. I grew up. My wife has two cousins who were talking a couple of years ago. Carol asked Sid, "Why are you a Republican?" Sid: "I don't know, I just always have been."

I think we all know that Hillary worked on the campaign of Barry Goldwater, a then far right Republican.

For God's sake, give Cassidy a break.
