Fake Elector Throws Trump Supporters Under The Bus

On Sunday's 60 Minutes, they will be showing an interview between Anderson Cooper and Andrew Hitt, the former chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin (RPS) and one of Wisconsin's ten fake electors. During the interview, Hitt tells Anderson that he went along with the scheme because he was afraid for his safety and the safety of his family:

ANDREW HITT: Can you imagine the repurcussions on myself, my family, if it was me, Andrew Hitt, who prevented Donald Trump from winning Wisconsin?

ANDERSON COOPER: You say you were scared.

AH: Absolutely.

AC: Scared of Trump Supporters in your state?

AH: It was not a safe time. If my lawyer's right, and the whole reason Trump loses Wisconsin is because of me, I would be scared to death.

It should be noted that this is the second time Hitt had stated he was scared. He had originally told the January 6 Committee that he was scared. However, that time he was afraid of protesters trying to impede their misdeeds.

Hitt has also used two other excuses for his participation scheme. One was because they just wanted to comply with requests from the Trump campaign and the RPW - of which Hitt was chair at the time.
