To the editor:
An unexpected blessing of the January 6th hearings is that it gave young people two shining examples of political courage, Congresswoman Liz Cheney who co-chaired the Committee and White House Assistant Cassidy Hutchinson (age 27) who testified before it. Both Republicans, they were fully aware of what they could expect from the fury of Trump Republicans, including the onslaught of hate mail and death threats that they were about to receive.
These two patriots were especially valuable for young conservatives who had been trying, without success, to reconcile the idea of a stolen “landslide” election with the continuing absence of any credible evidence. Young conservatives could now learn, not only the truth, but how genuine honesty, integrity, and courage looked and sounded.
