Former Pence aide says GOP is 'morally in disrepair'

Alyssa Farah Griffin, a former spokesperson for Vice President Mike Pence, said the Republican Party needs to acknowledge "we are morally in disrepair."

"Getting a lot of hate on the right for think 1/6 was a big deal," Griffin wrote on Twitter.

She also recalled how "a violent mob" hunted for Pence and called for him "to be hanged on the steps of the US Capitol."

"If we can't acknowledge we are morally in disrepair as a Party, it will be the GOP's undoing, not how bad Biden is doing or how ineffective democrats' policies are," Griffin added.
