'Rage and Retribution': Ex-Trump Aide Warns Second Term Will Be 'Insane'

On this episode of Mediaite's Press Club, CNN contributor and co-host of "The View" Alyssa Farah Griffin joins Aidan McLaughlin for a wide-ranging conversation about working in media, her time in the Trump White House and her dramatic exit, and what she thinks a second Trump term would look like. Griffin shares her insider perspective on what Trump said behind closed doors — including repeated calls to execute his enemies — and warns that a second Trump term would be defined by "rage and retribution." She also speaks out on her life-long career as a Republican and why she thinks the party just can't quit Trump. 0:40 The View 9:04 Life in Trump’s White House 14:33 Quitting Trump 16:10 January 6 21:08 Tucker Carlson and Fox News 24:52 Critics of her turn against Trump 26:10 Trump’s policies and Muslim ban 27:50 Can the Republican Party move on? 30:40 Dangers of second Trump term 35:37 Presidential debates 37:41 Alyssa’s personal life Welcome to Mediaite, THE site for news and opinion on the intersection of media and politics.
