She was SUBBED. I would have more respect for her IF...she hadn't been hiding since her boss lost his second term BID. Her motto must be...HEAR NO EVIL, SAY NO EVIL...DO NO EVIL.

      While I don't agree with the categorization "joke", I do get the gist of this opinion. It seems to have made reporters in the courtroom very sympathetic that she let the tears flow. It's hard to say if that was rehearsed on her part. But I think she wasn't much help in the J6 hearings, and would remain loyal to Trump now if possible. She does not seem to understand that she should have left his employ long ago instead of working to promote and cover up. She seems very self-protective and without strong guiding principles. However, I do not wish to be an opinionated, judgemental UA-camr.

    I don’t want to imply anything but can’t stop but wander how this stunning young lady stayed in such a close proximity to “Mr. Grab them by the p***” for so long without getting contaminated by him? Was she somehow cushioned from his predatory behaviour? Ms Hicks is a big enigma to me. I cannot imagine Mr Locker Room Talk having genuine father/daughter like or professional for that matter relations with a beautiful young lady. He was creepy, even with his own daughter.
