Text messages released by the Jan. 6 committee reveal that former adviser to Donald Trump, Hope Hicks, was concerned that the one-term president's actions on Jan. 6 had doomed her career and marked them all as "domestic terrorists." Welllll, she kind of has a point there.
Via Politico:
Trump aide Hope Hicks texted with Ivanka Trump's chief of staff Julie Radford on the afternoon of Jan. 6 decrying Trump's actions and lamenting that their careers were likely doomed.
"All of us that didn't have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed. I'm so mad and upset," Hicks wrote. "We all look like domestic terrorists now."
"Oh yes I've been crying for an hour," Radford replied.
"Not being dramatic but looks like we are all fucked," Hicks continued. "Alyssa looks like a genius."
Hicks' message was an apparent reference to Alyssa Farah, a former Trump White House aide who departed the administration weeks before Jan. 6.
Turning back to Trump, Hicks expressed outrage about his attack on Vice President Mike Pence in the midst of the violence. "Wtf is wrong with him?" she wrote.
Earlier this year at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the announcer said over the mic, "Ladies and gentlemen, we are all domestic terrorists." They finally said something true at CPAC. Just ask Hope Hicks about that.
