Even Fox News Was Stunned by Cassidy Hutchinson's Devastating Testimony: A Closer Look - Late Night with Seth Meyers

"They're not here to hurt ME." Definitely implying that he knew that they were there to hurt other people and he didn't care about that.

[Megamino]

Love how they always say these people are lying etc but she was under oath yet they won't go under oath to prove she lied like they are scared to be caught lying and sent to jail

[Opinionsrnotfacts]

On a lighter note, who amongst us does not secretly wish Trump had gone to the Capitol and we had footage of him attempting to climb through the broken window where no doubt he would have got stuck?

Cassidy Hutcheson was the proverbial fly on the wall. She was totally dismissed by those in power as having any importance because she was "just an aide" and had no policy or decision making ability. She just was at EVERY meeting, taking notes, sending texts, making phone calls, and hearing everything. But because she sat to the side and kept her mouth shut they forgot about her. The fly on the wall. Good for her!

It's hilarious to me that all of these people not under oath, and refusing to go under oath, are calling people under oath liars. If they're such liars testify, dispute what they say under oath.

Being a "low level" staffer does not immediately disqualify you from having relevant information for a hearing. In fact, those same low level staffers will probably have the most damning information. And because they are treated like "low level" staffers, they have very little incentive to keep quiet about the things they have seen/heard, or lie. Example: Go to any hotel/motel, and talk to house keeping staff. They are considered low level staff. But they also have the most information about what is going on there. Often times they can tell you who is staying there, who is doing what, and which rooms would be the best to search for drugs. "Low level" staff are often invisible to those in higher positions. Came in to refresh the water, heard a plot to take over the world. Walked out again.

I'm not saying that Cassidy Hutchinson is/was a "low level" staffer, but Faux News claiming that being a low level staffer means she didn't have access to anything relevant is absurd. Maybe we should talk to the Faux News low level staffers, see what's really going on behind the scenes.

"They're not here to hurt me" tells everyone what we all already knew. The lunging at his Secret Service members is just next level though.

[DetectiveGesicht]

"Seth just has to sit with it for sec" had me dying. This is me everyday (but with way less perfect comic timing).

[mypillowguy]

When Trump said he would be tough on China he was talking about the plates in the White House.

[reggiethecommenter]

Amazing what happens when you are forced to hear the truth.

[chriscripplercruz]

1:11 the silence was definitely worth the price of admission

[BlackHat]

“Seth Just Has to Sit With It For a Sec” is a very underrated segment, we need more

[Tadicuslegion]

"They're not here to hurt me, let them in"
Gee, it's almost like he knew in advanced armed people were coming at his request to storm the capitol...OH WAIT

[sadlystuckinreality]

Seth, I'm so glad I can count on you to make me laugh when everything is so overwhelming and scary. Thank you.

Stephen Miller is a frightening example of what unchecked evil can morph into when it takes human form.

Cassidy Hutchinson told the truth. And was great to hear from a woman, whom x45 claims he barely knows her. Cassidy has more balls and backbone than any of the men. When he says he barely knows her, that only means she turned down his advances and refused to birth another x45 child. You did great job testifying!!! Stand tall and be proud of who you are and what you testified to. Only one of a few that took your job seriously!!

[ritafranco]

Seth just has to sit with it is so great! That’s exactly how I feel!👍❤️

[Neddoest]

If the Justice department can’t find something here to charge Donald Trump with… then why do we have a Justice department?

[joachimschoder]

I think I speak for the committee: Any person working for the Trump administration who is disagreeing with Hutchinson is WELCOME to come to the meetings and testify so under oath. However if you disagree on Fox and then plead the fifth under oath we will know that you just told another lie.

[janw]

The level of the feeble attempts to slander and lie and demean a witness is directly proportional to the truth they are telling under oath
