“That would explain a lot of the breakdown in the West Wing”

“I was talking with a friend of mine during the testimony last week and I was texting back and forth,” Mulvaney said on Friday. “And this person was in the West Wing during the Jan. 6 riots. And I said, ‘You know, if I listen to Cassidy closely, it sounds like Mark was either completely incompetent at the job or was having a nervous breakdown.’”

Mulvaney explained the source told him, “It was a little bit of both.”

Mulvaney called the chief of staff position “crucial” and added, “That would explain a lot of the breakdown in the West Wing.”

In her testimony, Hutchinson also stated that a few days before the riot, Meadows told her, “There is a lot going on, Cass. I don’t know, but things might get real, real bad on Jan. 6.”
