The View star and former Donald Trump associate Alyssa Farah Griffin did not take a little time to enjoy the view from inside the White House every time her former boss tweeted.
這位《觀點(diǎn)》的明星、前唐納德·特朗普的助手艾麗莎·法拉·格里芬每次在她的前老板發(fā)推特時(shí),都不會(huì)花一點(diǎn)時(shí)間從白宮里欣賞風(fēng)景。
Griffin appeared on stage Monday night in New York City alongside her former White House colleague Cassidy Hutchinson as part of the 92NY Recanati-Kaplan Talks program. The View cohost interviewed the Enough tell-all book author about their time together working for one of the most controversial presidential administrations in history — and life on the other side.
周一晚上,格里芬和她的前白宮同事卡西迪·哈欽森一起出現(xiàn)在紐約市的舞臺(tái)上,作為92NY雷卡納蒂-卡普蘭會(huì)談?dòng)?jì)劃的一部分。《觀點(diǎn)》的聯(lián)合主持人采訪了《夠了》一書的作者,講述了他們一起為歷史上最具爭(zhēng)議的總統(tǒng)政府之一工作的時(shí)光,以及他們?cè)诹硪贿叺纳睢?br />
"It was a chaotic 2020, Trump was neck-and-neck in the polls, COVID hit our shores, we had a chaotic response effort to COVID, we had the social-justice protests in the summer of 2020 after George Floyd's murder. You had a principal in Donald Trump, who was reckless and unpredictable and often unhinged in the language he used. We saw it every day in the West Wing," Griffin said of her time working for Trump before resigning in December 2020. "The most common thing would be, we'd all get alerts when he'd tweet, and it was like, everything we'd planned, or he'd just spread a conspiracy theory, whatever it might be." (Trump's office did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.)
“這是一個(gè)混亂的2020年,特朗普在民意調(diào)查中不分上下,COVID襲擊了我們的海岸,我們對(duì)COVID的反應(yīng)混亂,喬治·弗洛伊德被謀殺后,我們?cè)?020年夏天舉行了社會(huì)正義抗議活動(dòng)。你們的校長(zhǎng)是唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump),他魯莽、不可預(yù)測(cè),而且經(jīng)常在語(yǔ)言上精神錯(cuò)亂。我們每天都在白宮西翼看到這種情況,”格里芬在談到她在2020年12月辭職之前為特朗普工作的時(shí)間時(shí)說。“最常見的情況是,當(dāng)他發(fā)推文時(shí),我們都會(huì)收到警報(bào),就像我們計(jì)劃的一切,或者他只是在傳播陰謀論,不管它是什么。”(特朗普辦公室沒有立即回應(yīng)《娛樂周刊》的置評(píng)請(qǐng)求。)
Griffin went on to praise Hutchinson — who worked for Chief of Staff Mark Meadows before testifying during the House investigation into the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 — for recognizing "how dangerous Donald Trump is" in hindsight.
格里芬接著稱贊哈欽森事后認(rèn)識(shí)到“唐納德·特朗普有多危險(xiǎn)”。哈欽森在2021年1月6日眾議院調(diào)查國(guó)會(huì)暴動(dòng)期間作證之前,曾為白宮辦公廳主任馬克·梅多斯工作。
She later asked Hutchinson to look ahead to the 2024 presidential election, which sees Trump as the leading contender for the Republican nomination.
她后來要求哈欽森展望2024年的總統(tǒng)大選,特朗普是共和黨提名的主要競(jìng)爭(zhēng)者。
"I struggle to speculate and hypothesize that he will be the Republican nominee, because I think it's the responsibility of every American to make sure his name is not on the Republican ticket," Hutchinson said. "I was on the inside, I was a Trump supporter, I worked for him loyally. And now, having this period of reflection and come full circle with people like Alyssa in my corner... Donald Trump, for years, has shown us who he is. Many people's eyes were opened to those dangers before mine were, but now mine are, and I have the firsthand account of what he's capable of doing — what we was capable of doing, and what he continues to be capable of doing. If Donald Trump were to be elected to a second term in office, I fear for the future of our country, I fear for the future of our democracy."
哈欽森說:“我很難推測(cè)和假設(shè)他會(huì)成為共和黨候選人,因?yàn)槲艺J(rèn)為每個(gè)美國(guó)人都有責(zé)任確保他的名字不在共和黨候選人名單上。”“我是內(nèi)部人士,我是特朗普的支持者,我忠實(shí)地為他工作?,F(xiàn)在,有了這段時(shí)間的反思,有了像Alyssa這樣的人在我身邊,我又回到了原點(diǎn)……唐納德·特朗普(Donald Trump)多年來向我們展示了他是誰(shuí)。在我之前,很多人都看到了這些危險(xiǎn),但現(xiàn)在我看到了,我對(duì)他能做什么有了第一手的了解——我們能做什么,他還能做什么。如果唐納德·特朗普當(dāng)選連任,我擔(dān)心我們國(guó)家的未來,我擔(dān)心我們民主的未來。”
Griffin, who worked on Trump's communications team, added that "we should be scared" if Trump is elected to a second term, given the multiple indictments he's currently facing.
格里芬曾在特朗普的公關(guān)團(tuán)隊(duì)工作,他補(bǔ)充說,考慮到特朗普目前面臨的多項(xiàng)指控,如果他當(dāng)選連任,“我們應(yīng)該感到害怕”。
Hutchinson and Griffin bonded after they both left the conservative circle under the former president. Though both are still Republicans, they've long criticized Trump and his followers, particularly with regard to his actions leading up to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
哈欽森和格里芬在離開前總統(tǒng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下的保守派圈子后結(jié)下了不歡而散。雖然兩人都是共和黨人,但他們長(zhǎng)期以來一直批評(píng)特朗普和他的追隨者,尤其是他導(dǎo)致1月6日叛亂的行為。
Griffin became a permanent cohost on The View in 2022, with Ana Navarro joining her as the permanent panelists filling the Hot Topics table's conservative seat vacated by Meghan McCain, who left the program one year prior.
格里芬于2022年成為《觀點(diǎn)》的永久聯(lián)合主持人,安娜·納瓦羅也加入了她的行列,作為永久小組成員,填補(bǔ)了梅根·麥凱恩一年前離開該節(jié)目后空缺的“熱門話題”保守派席位。
Hutchinson previously appeared on The View earlier this year, where she discussed her time at the White House and the ramifications she felt after criticizing Trump.
今年早些時(shí)候,哈欽森曾出現(xiàn)在《觀點(diǎn)》節(jié)目中,她討論了自己在白宮的經(jīng)歷,以及批評(píng)特朗普后的感受。
