Cassidy Hutchinson’s Courage

The last time we saw Cassidy Hutchinson, she was testifying before Congress about her interactions in and around the White House before, during and after 1/6/2021. Fifteen months ago. Then, she disappeared.

With good reason. She was broke, literally, hadn’t paid her rent in months, no wifi or cable TV, as well as broken down by relentless attacks on her by the former guy* and death threats from his supporters. She drew the shades and, at 25, wondered if her life was over.

This is the result of her exile:

Cassidy Hutchinson is now 27 years old. In the span of roughly five years, after graduating from a small, liberal arts college in Virginia, she has forged a life for herself that has thrust her into a life of service to her country and the maelstrom of history. None of which was expected.

It is said that life happens when we’re making other plans. I’m sure, back when she was attending Christopher Newport University, as she graduated in 2018, that by now, at 27, she’d be working in a government agency or maybe in state politics, an aide or policy wonk.
