Four prominent previously pro-Trump GOP women to make the case against him in battleground Pennsylvania

CNN — Former House GOP conference chair Liz Cheney and former Trump White House aides Alyssa Farah Griffin, Cassidy Hutchinson and Sarah Matthews will make the case against the reelection of former President Donald Trump in a fireside chat in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, next week, CNN has exclusively learned.

The event will follow Cheney’s expected Thursday appearance with Vice President Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, another critical swing state.

Cheney, Hutchinson and Matthews have endorsed Harris. Griffin, a CNN political commentator, has not, though she often uses her platforms on CNN and on “The View” to warn of the peril she sees in a second Trump term.

The October 9 event will be hosted by the group Democracy First in one of the all-important “collar counties” outside Philadelphia, in one of the most competitive battlegrounds of the 2024 presidential election. A source involved told CNN the four women will “offer a warning about the threat Donald Trump poses to democracy and the rule of law,” making the case about “the need for independents, moderates, and Republicans to stop him from getting back in office.”

As a note, Gov. Josh Shapiro was raised in/lives in and had been both a state Rep. and County Commissioner of Montgomery County, PA. Tweety's brother Jim Matthews (R) had been a County Commissioner there previously, a bunch of years ago. I live near the county line and am back and forth there all the time.

the other day on Ari Melber. She was on a panel with Peter Navarro and former ambassador Gordon Sondland. Melber was asking their stance on the rapist given everything we know now. The two men were still in the maga tank, but Matthews held her own as the only one who spoke with unmitigated disapproval of this... former president. I was somewhat impressed.

and am still that Navarro was there. But agree that Matthews was the lone dissenter. Sondland still had the same smug shit-eating smirk that he had during the Mueller hearings.
