YESTERDAY, THERE WAS.
TODAY, DIFFERENT STORY.
I WILL TELL THAT STORY .
>> STAY TUNED.
I WILL BE WATCHING.
HAVE A GREAT SHOW.
>>> TO BEGIN WITH THAT STORY, I
GUESS BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP DOES
APPARENTLY WHATEVER I TELL HIM
TO DO, HE DID NOT GLARE AT ME
AGAIN IN THE COURTROOM TODAY
AFTER I DESCRIBED DONALD
TRUMP'S WEIRD AND CHILDISH
ATTEMPT TO I GUESS INTIMIDATE
ME BY THROWING HIS ANGRY GLARE
AT ME WHEN HE WAS LEAVING THE
COURTROOM YESTERDAY.
I SAID RIGHT HERE ON THE
PROGRAM LAST NIGHT THAT IT WAS
A MISTAKE FOR HIM TO DO THAT.
I SAID THAT HIS APPARENTLY
USELESS HANDYMAN, WHO HANGS
OUT IN THE FIRST ROE OF THE
COURTROOM ON THE DEFENSE SIDE,
SHOULD HAVE TOLD DONALD TRUMP
NOT TO MAKE A BIG DEAL OUT OF
THAT LAWRENCE O'DONNELL DIE
BEING IN THE COURTROOM TODAY,
MEANING YESTERDAY.
DONALD TRUMP SHOULDN'T HAVE
GIVEN ME THAT PLEASURE.
HE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT IN
SUCH A GOOFY AND PUBLIC WAY
THAT MAGGIE HABERMAN AT "THE
NEW YORK TIMES" FELT COMPELLED
TO WRITE IT RIGHT AWAY ON THE
LIVE UPDATE OF THE TRAIL.
NO ONE HAD SEEN DONALD TRUMP TO
ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AFTER THAT ITEM MADE A LITTLE
BIT OF STIR ON SOCIAL MEDIA
YESTERDAY, WE HAVE A RIGHT TO
ASSUME THAT DONALD TRUMP, AS I
KNOW HE HAS DONE MANY TIMES IN
THE PAST, TUNED IN TO THIS SHOW
AT 10:00 LAST NIGHT TO SEE WHAT
I WOULD SAY ABOUT THAT
INCIDENT.
AND, UNFORTUNATELY, HE TOOK MY
ADVICE.
THE ADVICE THAT BORIS SHOULD
HAVE GIVEN HIM YESTERDAY.
TODAY, EVEN THOUGH I WAS
SITTING IN AN EVEN MORE
PROMINENT POSITION ON THE AISLE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COURTROOM
WHERE DONALD TRUMP COULDN'T
POSSIBLY MISS ME EVERY TIME HE
WALKED PAST ME IN AND OUT OF
THE COURTROOM TODAY, HE DID
EVERYTHING HE COULD POSSIBLY DO
TO NOT LOOK AT ME.
I KNOW HE KNOWS WHERE I WAS
SITTING BECAUSE IT WAS WAY TOO
OBVIOUS AND I WAS GIVING HIM MY LOOK STRAIGHT UP AT HIM.
LOOK STRAIGHT UP AT HIM.
I KNOW I WAS WITHIN HIS
PERIPHERAL VISION BECAUSE
WHENEVER HIS PERIPHERAL VISION
GOT CLOSE, HE IMMEDIATELY
TWISTED IT AWAY IN THE OTHER
DIRECTION.
HE MADE SURE THAT HIS EYES
NEVER MET MY EYES.
HE JUST WASN'T GOING TO GIVE ME
THAT GIFT AGAIN.
OTHER REPORTERS IN THE ROOM,
INCLUDING REPORTERS I DON'T
KNOW, NOTICED IT.
NOTICED HIS CONSCIOUS CHOICE
NOT TO DO THAT, ESPECIALLY
AFTER YESTERDAY BECAUSE IT WAS
SO OBVIOUS THAT HE MADE SUCH AN
EFFORT YESTERDAY TO LOOK AT ME
THAT TODAY'S EFFORT NOT LOOKING
AT ME WAS JUST AS OBVIOUS WITH
ME SITTING THERE LOOKING UP AT
HIM EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT I
DID YESTERDAY. TO HIM, I'M SURE IT LOOKED LIKE
TO HIM, I'M SURE IT LOOKED LIKE
I WAS GLOATING.
PROBABLY THE WAY HE INTERPRETED
IT.
A COUPLE OF REPORTERS TOLD ME
AFTER TODAY'S SESSION HE WAS
AFRAID TO LOOK AT YOU TODAY.
I DON'T THINK HE WAS AFRAID.
I THINK HE JUST GOT GOOD
ADVICE.
RIGHT HERE AT 10:00 P.M.
LAST NIGHT.
>>> TODAY'S COURTROOM WAS A
TALE OF TWO YOUNG WOMEN
DESCRIBING THEIR WORK IN
GOVERNMENT.
ONE DESCRIBED HER DEDICATION TO
A DIFFICULT JOB DONE HONORABLY
UNDER INTENSE PRESSURE TO WITH
HIGH-STAKES, WITH THE BEST OF MOTIVATIONS AND PURSUIT OF AN
MOTIVATIONS AND PURSUIT OF AN
IDEAL AND THE OTHER WAS HOPE
HICKS.
HOPE HICKS WAS PRECEDED ON THE
WITNESS STAND BY A YOUNG WOMAN
WHO APPEARED TO BE ABOUT THE
SAME AGE HOPE HICKS WAS WHEN
SHE STARTED WORKING FOR
RESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE DONALD
TRUMP.
I WISH I COULD TELL YOU THE
YOUNG WOMAN'S NAME BECAUSE IT
IS A BEAUTIFUL NAME THAT ANY
PARENT OR FICTION WRITER WOULD
BE PROUD TO CREATE.
I WON'T TELL YOU HER NAME
BECAUSE HOMICIDAL TRUMP
SUPPORTERS ARE ALL TOO EAGER TO
THREATEN THE LIVES OF ALL OF US
WHO THEY DESPISE.
THEY ESPECIALLY LIKE TO DO THAT
ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
THIS YOUNG WOMAN'S JOB IN THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE IS TO STUDY SOCIAL MEDIA AND PREPARE
STUDY SOCIAL MEDIA AND PREPARE
SOCIAL MEDIUM FOR USE AS
EVIDENCE IN CRIMINAL TRIALS.
THAT JOB BECAME THE WORST JOB
IN THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE WHEN A YEAR AND A HALF
AGO, SHE WAS ASSIGNED TO THE
INVESTIGATION OF DONALD TRUMP
AND HAD TO READ AS MANY AS
10,000 SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS,
MOSTLY BY DONALD TRUMP BUT ALSO
BY MICHAEL COHEN AND OTHERS
INVOLVING THIS CASE.
IMAGINE HAVING TO KEEP UP WITH
IN REAL TIME, THE POISON DONALD
TRUMP'S VIEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA
EVERY DAY AND HAVING TO REACH
BACK IN TIME FOR TRUMP WEEKS
THAT ARE RELEVANT TO THIS
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION, AS FAR
BACK AS 2016 AND BEYOND.
SHE HAS SAVED ABOUT 1500 POSTS
ON INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, TRUTH
SOCIAL, AND OTHER SITES FOR THE
DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S TRUMP
EVIDENCE FILE.
SHE TESTIFIED THAT SHE HAS
ANALYZED ABOUT 30 SOCIAL MEDIA
ACCOUNTS IN THE PROCESS. DONALD
TRUMP'S CRIMINAL DEFENSE
LAWYERS TRIED TO OBJECT TO HER
TESTIMONY THAT LAID THE
GROUNDWORK FOR INTRODUCING
SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS BY DONALD
TRUMP.
HER TESTIMONY WAS SO
TECHNICALLY FLAWLESS AND SO
CONVINCING TO JUDGE JUAN
MERCHAN THAT THE JUDGE
OVERRULED EVERY OBJECTION THE
TRUMP LAWYERS RAISED TO TRY TO
BLOCK HER TESTIMONY AND BLOGGER
INTRODUCTION OF THE EXHIBITS .
SHE WON. SHE BEAT THE TRUMP LAWYERS AT
SHE BEAT THE TRUMP LAWYERS AT
THE GAME OF ADMITTING EVIDENCE.
SHE DESCRIBED THE ELABORATE AND
EXACTING PROCESS SHE HAD TO GO
THROUGH WITH EACH PIECE OF
SOCIAL MEDIUM TO FIT THE
COMPLEX REQUIREMENTS OF
INTRODUCING EVEN A SINGLE TWEET
AS AN EXHIBIT IN COURT AND
THANKS TO HER PAINSTAKING
ADHERENCE TO THOSE LEGAL RULES
AND REQUIREMENTS, THE JURY WAS
SHOWN THIS WEEK BY DONALD TRUMP.
>> I HAVE NEVER SAID I AM A
PERFECT PERSON, NOR PRETENDED
TO BE SOMEONE THAT I'M NOT.
I HAVE SAID AND DONE THINGS I
REGRET THE WORDS RELEASED TODAY
ON THIS MORE THAN A DECADE OLD
VIDEO OR ONE OF THEM.
ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS THESE
WORDS DON'T REFLECT WHO I AM.
I SAID IT, I WAS WRONG, AND I
APOLOGIZE.
>> OCTOBER 8, 2016.
THAT WAS THE ONE AND ONLY TIME
TRUMP HAS EVER APOLOGIZED IN
HIS LIFE.
IT WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD TAPE WAS
RELEASED ON OCTOBER 2016 IN THE
LAST WEEKS OF DONALD TRUMP'S
FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
THE THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF WORK
DONE BY THAT YOUNG PARALEGAL
ASSISTANT IN THE DA OFFICE TO
ALLOW THE INTRODUCTION OF
EXHIBITS LIKE THAT PAID OFF
TODAY.
HER DEDICATION AND
PROFESSIONALISM WAS OBVIOUS TO
EVERYONE IN THE COURTROOM,
ESPECIALLY JUDGE JUAN MERCHAN. SHE IS THE LOWEST PAID PERSON
SHE IS THE LOWEST PAID PERSON
WHO HAS SPOKEN IN THAT COURTROOM
. SHE WILL NEVER BE APPLAUDED,
NEVER PUBLICLY THANKED, SHE
DOESN'T GET TO FLY ON PRIVATE
JETS LIKE HOPE HICKS DID WHEN
SHE STARTED HER CAMPAIGN JOB OR
ON AIR FORCE ONE, LIKE HOPE
HICKS DID WHEN SHE WORKED IN
THE WHITE HOUSE.
THIS WITNESS WAS ONE OF THE
UNSUNG HEROES IN THE MACHINERY
OF AMERICAN JUSTICE.
THAT IS HER JOB.
JUSTICE.
THAT IS ONE OF THE MOTIVATORS
FOR PUTTING IN THOSE LONG
HOURS.
THAT IS THE IDEAL SHE GETS TO
PURSUE IN HER WORK, JUSTICE.
THE DA OFFICE DOES NOT PAY HER
ENOUGH.
TOPS LIKE THAT NEVER PAID
ENOUGH.
BUT, SHE GETS TO TAKE HOME MORE
THAN A PAYCHECK.
SHE GETS TO TAKE HOME HER
PRIDE.
PRIDE.
THE THING HOPE HICKS SOLD TO
DONALD TRUMP.
AT 11:23 A.M., AN ASSISTANT
DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAID THE
PEOPLE CALL HOPE HICKS.
DRESSED IN A BLACK SUIT, SHE
WALKED PAST THE DEFENSE TABLE
WITHIN ARMS REACH OF DONALD
TRUMP WITHOUT EVER LOOKING AT
HIM AND HE DID NOT LOOK AT HER
AS SHE WALKED BY. SHE BEGAN HER TESTIMONY WITH A
SHE BEGAN HER TESTIMONY WITH A
BIT OF BIOGRAPHY, SAYING SHE
WAS A 2010 GRADUATE OF SOUTHERN
METHODIST UNIVERSITY, WHO THEN
BEGAN WORKING FOR THE TRUMP
ORGANIZATION IN 2014.
SHE TOLD HER FIRST FLIGHT ABOUT
10 MINUTES INTO HER TESTIMONY.
NOW, SOME PEOPLE WILL THINK A
LIE IS TOO HARSH A WORD FOR
WHAT I'M ABOUT TO READ TO YOU.
IT DOES SHOW WHAT A CASUAL
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE TRUTH
HOPE HICKS LIVES BY.
SHE DESCRIBED DONALD TRUMP
UNDER OATH AS "A VERY GOOD
MULTITASKER AND A VERY HARD
WORKER."
HE IS NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN A
HARD WORKER.
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ISN'T TRUE.
MOST OF THE PRESS CORPS ON THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL AND IN THE WHITE
HOUSE WHO COVERED HOPE HICKS
EASILY ACCEPTED THOSE LIES,
LIES OF THAT SIZE, FROM HOPE
HICKS ALL THE TIME WITHOUT ANY
OF THOSE LIES DIMINISHING THEIR
VIEW OF HER IN ANY WAY.
SHE WAS, ON THAT WITNESS STAND,
AS SHE HAS ALWAYS BEEN, THE
PICTURE OF PRIVILEGE. SHE LAUGHED OUT LOUD IN THE
SHE LAUGHED OUT LOUD IN THE
COURTROOM AT THE VERY IDEA OF
DONALD TRUMP OFFERING HER A
JOB.
SHE WAS UNQUALIFIED TO DO.
PRESS SECRETARY FOR A
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
THAT IS WHAT PRIVILEGE LOOKS
LIKE. SHE HAD NEVER BEEN A PRESS
SHE HAD NEVER BEEN A PRESS
SECRETARY FOR ANYTHING. SHE HAD
NO IDEA HOW TO BE A CAMPAIGN
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN PRESS
SECRETARY.
LIKE EVERYONE ON THE TRUMP
CAMPAIGN, NO SERIOUS CAMPAIGN
WOULD HIRE THEM TO DO ANYTHING.
HOPE HICKS LIVES ON THE DONALD
TRUMP SIDE OF OUR POLITICS,
WHERE PEOPLE RANT ENDLESSLY
ABOUT ATTRIBUTING THINGS LIKE
THE FAILURES OF BOEING
MANUFACTURING AND MAINTENANCE
OF AIRCRAFT TO SOME KIND OF
LIBERAL ORIENTED HIRING PROGRAM
THAT GIVES JOBS TO UNWORTHY
CANDIDATES.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE
UNWORTHY CANDIDATE FOR HOPE
HICKS JOB IN THE PRESIDENTIAL
CAMPAIGN OR IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAN HOPE HICKS.
THAN HOPE HICKS.
SHE DIDN'T NEED EITHER ONE OF
THOSE JOBS.
SHE WAS BORN RICH IN
CONNECTICUT.
SHE COULD HAVE TRIED TO DO
SOMETHING MORE WORTHY WITH HER
LIFE, OR AT LEAST DO SOMETHING
THAT WASN'T HARMFUL.
BUT, SHE CHOSE TO HELP DONALD
TRUMP BECOME PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
THAT IS WHAT SHE CHOSE TO DO.
THAT JOB CAME WITH A MODEL.
DENY, DENY, DENY.
THAT IS WHAT SHE WROTE IN AN
EMAIL WHEN THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN
TEAM OF INCOMPETENCE WAS TRYING
TO RESPOND TO THE BRILLIANT
REPORTING AT ""THE WASHINGTON
POST"," WHICH REVEALED THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD VIDEO IN WHICH
DONALD TRUMP IS SHOWN BRAGGING
ABOUT HIS FAVORITE METHOD OF
SEXUAL ASSAULT.
THIS ROCK TO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ON OCTOBER 7th, 2016 WHEN HE
ON OCTOBER 7th, 2016 WHEN HE
SENT AN EMAIL TO HOPE HICKS
ASKING FOR A COMMENT ABOUT THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD VIDEO, WHICH
HE CAME INTO POSSESSION OF
BEFORE ""THE WASHINGTON POST","
WOULD PUBLISH IT.
DAVID FAHRENTHOLD INCLUDED A
TRANSCRIPT OF THE VIDEO IN THE
EMAIL BUT NOT THE VIDEO ITSELF. " DID YOU READ MR. TRUMP THAT
" DID YOU READ MR. TRUMP THAT
EMAIL YOU RECEIVED FROM DAVID
FAHRENTHOLD?
ANSWER "I READ HIM THE EMAIL
AND I HAVE A VAGUE RECOLLECTION
OF STARTING TO READ THE TRANSCRIPT AND THEN HE FINISHED
TRANSCRIPT AND THEN HE FINISHED
READING IT HIMSELF, I BELIEVE .
DID YOU HAND HIM THE EMAIL FOR
HIM TO READ?
YES.
THAT IS MY RECOLLECTION.
QUESTION, WHAT IF ANYTHING DID
HE SAY?
HE SAID THAT THAT DIDN'T SOUND
LIKE SOMETHING HE WOULD SAY.
AND SO, ON THE BASIS OF THAT
LIE TOLD TO HOPE HICKS BY
DONALD TRUMP, THAT THAT DIDN'T
SOUND LIKE SOMETHING HE WOULD
SAY, HOPE HICKS TOLD THE TEAM
THAT THE STRATEGY WAS DENIED
HIM A DENY, DENY.
MEANING LIE, LIE, LIE.
HOPE HICKS DID A LOT OF THAT.
LYING, IN HER TESTIMONY.
SHE QUOTED DONALD TRUMP
LIGHTING TO HER.
ANYONE WHO KNOWS DONALD TRUMP
KNOWS THAT WHAT HE SAID ON THE
ACCESS HOLLYWOOD VIDEO DOES
INDEED SOUND LIKE SOMETHING HE
WOULD SAY.
HOURS LATER, THE VIDEO WAS OUT
THERE AND HOPE HICKS COULD
WATCH HIM SAY IT HERSELF.
SO, THE JURY HEARD HOPE HICKS
DESCRIBED DONALD TRUMP LIGHTING
DIRECTLY TO HER.
"HE SAID THAT THAT DIDN'T SOUND
LIKE SOMETHING HE WOULD SAY."
THAT WAS A VERY HARMFUL LINE OF
TESTIMONY ABOUT DONALD TRUMP.
INJURIES ARE ALWAYS WONDERING
IF THIS WITNESS IS TELLING THE
TRUTH, WOULD THIS PERSON LIE TO
US?
NOW THEY KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP
LIED TO HOPE HICKS RIGHT THERE
IN THAT LINE ABOUT THAT VIDEO.
WHEN THAT VIDEO CAME OUT
PROVING DONALD TRUMP SAID EVERY WORD THAT WAS IN THE TRANSCRIPT
WORD THAT WAS IN THE TRANSCRIPT
THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR JOHN McCAIN
. SENATOR McCAIN TURNED AGAINST
DONALD TRUMP THEN.
THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR REPUBLICAN
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, PAUL
RYAN, WHO CANCELED A EVENT WITH
DONALD TRUMP.
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN JASON
CHAFFETZ CAME ON THIS PROGRAM
FOR THE ONE AND ONLY TIME IN
HIS LIFE AND RETRACTED HIS
ENDORSEMENT DONALD TRUMP IN
THE NAME OF HIS DAUGHTERS THAT
VERY NIGHT. REPUBLICANS WERE
RUSHING AWAY FROM DONALD TRUMP
BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY HEARD HIM
SAY AND DO ON THAT ACCESS
HOLLYWOOD VIDEO BUT NOT HOPE
HICKS.
NOT HOPE HICKS.
IF YOU DON'T QUIT THEN, WHEN DO
YOU QUIT?
HOPE HICKS ANSWER?
NEVER.
HOPE HICKS WAS THERE IN
WASHINGTON ON THE WHITE HOUSE PAYROLL ON JANUARY 6th MAKING
PAYROLL ON JANUARY 6th MAKING
NO ATTEMPT AT ALL TO GET DONALD
TRUMP TO DO THE RIGHT THING
DURING THE ATTACK ON THE
CAPITOL, TO STOP THAT ATTACK.
WHAT DID SHE DO AFTER JANUARY
6th?
NOTHING.
SHE EVENTUALLY DID AN INTERVIEW
WITH THE JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE
WHERE SHE SAID AS LITTLE AS SHE
POSSIBLY COULD AND OFFERED NO
SIGNIFICANT HELP TO THE
COMMITTEE.
VERY LITTLE THEY COULD EVEN USE
IN THEIR PUBLIC REVELATION OF
THEIR EVIDENCE.
COMPARE THAT TO CASSIDY
HUTCHINSON.
THEY BOTH TOOK THE SAME OATH OF
OFFICE AS WHITE HOUSE EMPLOYEES
TO SUPPORT AND DEFEND THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED
STATES AGAINST ALL ENEMIES
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.
HOPE HICKS, WHO HAD DIRECT
ACCESS TO DONALD TRUMP WHENEVER
SHE WANTED, DIDN'T SAY A WORD
TO DONALD TRUMP ON JANUARY 6th.
DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO.
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON, WHO DID NOT
HAVE DIRECT ACCESS TO DONALD
TRUMP, WAS DESPERATELY TRYING
TO GET HER BOSS, MARK MEADOWS,
THE WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF,
TO CONVINCE DONALD TRUMP TO
STOP THE ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL.
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON BECAME THE
JANUARY 6th COMMITTEE'S MOST
IMPORTANT WITNESS.
CASSIDY HUTCHINSON HAS BEEN
URGING AMERICANS NOT TO VOTE
FOR DONALD TRUMP.
NOTHING LIKE THAT FROM HOPE
HICKS, NOTHING.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE IN THE
WHITE HOUSE TREATED THE WAY THE
WHITE HOUSE PRESS CORPS TREATED
HOPE HICKS. TALK ABOUT
PRIVILEGE.
THERE IS A VIDEO OF WHITE HOUSE
REPORTERS KISSING HER AS THEY
ARE GREETING AT WHITE HOUSE
PRESS BRIEFINGS.
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS YOU
ARE HOPE HICKS.
SHE CRIED.
THAT IS THE BIG NEWS OF THE DAY OUT OF THE COURTROOM.
OUT OF THE COURTROOM.
NO ONE KNOWS WHY SHE CRIED AT
THE VERY BEGINNING OF CROSS-
EXAMINATION.
I HEARD THREE DIFFERENT
THEORIES FROM REPORTERS ON THE
WAY OUT OF THE COURTROOM TODAY.
YOU WILL HEAR SOME THEORIES
DURING THIS HOUR FROM PEOPLE
WHO WERE IN THE COURTROOM WITH
ME TODAY AND ARE MORE
PERCEPTIVE ABOUT THAT.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE CRIED. AND, I DON'T CARE.
AND, I DON'T CARE.
I KNOW SHE DIDN'T CRY FOR THE
628 CHILDREN WHO WERE HELD AT
THE SOUTHERN BORDER IN CUSTODY
BY DONALD TRUMP, WHO WAS THEN
UNABLE TO FIND THEIR PARENTS
AND REUNITE THEM.
HOPE HICKS DIDN'T CRY FOR THEM.
AND WE CAN BE SURE THAT HOPE
HICKS HAS NEVER CRIED WHEN HER
MOTTO OF DENY TOOK HOLD IN THE
SUPREME COURT DECIDING TO DENY
WOMEN THE RIGHT THEY HAD FOR 50
YEARS IN THIS COUNTRY, LONGER
THAN HOPE HICKS HAS BEEN ALIVE.
I'M SURE SHE DIDN'T CRY FOR THAT 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN OHIO
THAT 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL IN OHIO
WHO HAD TO LEAVE THE STATE AFTER
BEING RAPED TO RECEIVE ABORTION
SERVICES IN INDIANA.
HOPE HICKS KEPT WORKING FOR
DONALD TRUMP TO BECOME THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AFTER SHE KNEW THAT DENY, DENY,
DENY, WAS A LIE.
A LIE SHE TOLD.
HOPE HICKS WATCHED THE ACCESS
HOLLYWOOD VIDEO AND THOUGHT
YES, YES, THAT IS WHO I WANT TO
KEEP WORKING FOR TONIGHT.
THAT IS WHO I WANT TO BE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
I'M GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK
AS HARD AS I CAN TO MAKE THAT
MAN ON THAT VIDEO BRAGGING
ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT BECOME THE
NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES.
THAT IS MY MISSION.
THAT IS WHO HOPE HICKS WANTED TO BE REELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF
TO BE REELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.
AFTER HE RECOMMENDED INJECTING
BLEACH INTO YOUR VEINS TO YOUR
COVID-19.
THAT IS WHO HOPE HICKS WANTED
TO KEEP IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE HAD A MONSTER IN THE
PRESIDENCY NOT BECAUSE OF
DONALD TRUMP BUT BECAUSE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO VOTED FOR DONALD
TRUMP AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED
FOR DONALD TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN TO
GET HIM THERE.
YOU GET MONSTERS LIKE DONALD
TRUMP THANKS TO PEOPLE LIKE
HOPE HICKS.
PEOPLE WHO WHITE HOUSE
REPORTERS SOCIALLY JUST IN THE
WHITE HOUSE PRESS BRIEFING
ROOM, REPORTERS WHOSE
ACCEPTANCE OF DONALD TRUMP IS
WARMED BY THE CHARMS OF HOPE
HICKS.
WITNESS HOPE HICKS GOT OFF THE
WITNESS STAND WITHOUT BEING
ASKED THE MOST IMPORTANT
QUESTION OF HER LIFE.
SHE WASN'T ASKED THAT QUESTION
BECAUSE IT WASN'T AN IMPORTANT QUESTION IN THIS TRIAL.
QUESTION IN THIS TRIAL.
THAT QUESTION IS WHY DIDN'T YOU
QUIT? WHY DIDN'T YOU QUIT THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN IN 2016
WHEN IT WAS SO OBVIOUS TO ALL
OF US THAT YOU WERE WORKING FOR
A PATHOLOGICAL LIAR AND A
DANGEROUS PERSON?
WHY DIDN'T SHE QUIT IS A MUCH MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION THEN
