And bringing Alexander Butterfield in was an excellent addition. Lawrence was very kind to her, no big surprise, and he brought out the best in her, I'm sure her words got to his audience.

This interview couldn't have gone better, Lawrence was excellent, but then so was Cassidy Hutchinson.

...easily affected by and drawn into a seat of power and offered a chance to become part of the apparatus.

Thankfully, she rose to meet her better Angel, and did the right thing.
No one is perfect. it's when we realise we can do better - and do it - where we become our best selves.

And the part where she talked about being inspired by Alexander Butterfield - and then his message to her - got to me, too.

Sadly, my dad is like Cassidy's dad, a deranged Trump supporter.

My Dad was a Republican, but he was also fairly liberal, so I can't imagine he could support TFG. But I lost my Dad way too young - in 1990. And he was a Republican like his mother, my grandmother, who saw the light and switched, she voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996.

I had plans to watch this but life had different plans for me so I missed Lawrence's interview. I knew you would post videos from the interview and am so appreciative that you do this work for us.
