Alyssa Farah Griffin, who once worked as the official Press Secretary for former Republican Vice President Mike Pence, criticized what she referred to as the moral "disrepair" of the Republican Party after she received hateful messages for cooperating with the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the Capitol insurrection.
Griffin said "there's nothing less conservative" than attempts to "overturn [the] democratic process" and reminded her readers she had seen a "violent mob" call for Pence to be "hanged on the steps" of the United States Capitol.
She added Republicans refusing to acknowledge they are "morally in disrepair" as a political party will ultimately be "the GOP's undoing."
If we can\u2019t acknowledge we are morally in disrepair as a Party, it will be the GOP\u2019s undoing, not how bad Biden is doing or how ineffective democrats\u2019 policies are.— Alyssa Farah Griffin (@Alyssa Farah Griffin) 1641564836
Griffin's post came after an Axios report confirmed that she is cooperating with the House committee. Griffin told the news outlet that people who are refusing to cooperate with the committee "are doing so out of complete fealty to [former President] Donald Trump and not wanting to piss him off."
She added that these same individuals are beginning to understand that the committee "has quite a bit more information than they realized" and that "their involvement is known to a much greater degree than they realized."
Many have praised Griffin for speaking out.

Kudos to you for your willingness to state correctly what happened, on 1/6th. I am definitely not a R. Watching the horror play out on TV was gut wrenching. Truth matters, your courage is exemplary.— Charmaine (@Charmaine) 1641676261
Thank you for being courageous and speaking truth to power. Hopefully enough good folks from both sides of the aisle will wake the hell up and start to urgently working together to save our democracy.— Tom (@Tom) 1641631752
This is a thoughtful post and demonstrates intellectual integrity!— Hayne Palmer (@Hayne Palmer) 1641568530
Very true. It's inexcusable that people with good sense can't see that.— Jim Rourk (@Jim Rourk) 1641654332
I agree, Ms. Farah. I was stunned to watch live as that mob shouted bloody murder and sought Mr. Pence. They would have hanged him. I\u2019m sure. I disagree with Former VP Pence in nearly every way, but I was sickened, horrified and angry. Thanks for speaking up.— Ladybelle Fiske (Isabella McFarlin) (@Ladybelle Fiske (Isabella McFarlin)) 1641731611
Thank you for your courage. It\u2019s a shame your former boss doesn\u2019t have any— HippySuperstarToo (@HippySuperstarToo) 1641570315
This Democrat agrees with you. Our Country works with a 2 party system. Without agreements to both conservative and liberal ideals we cannot move forward a Nation - we cannot survive. We must work together and accept one another— Tammie Camp (@Tammie Camp) 1641683418

Pence could have been killed on January 6, the day a mob of former President Donald Trump's supporters stormed the United States Capitol on the false premise that the 2020 election had been stolen.
Video footage from that day shows the angry mob chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" and "Bring out Pence!" as they search for him through the halls of the Capitol. And just outside, the mob had set up a makeshit gallows.
Despite these facts, Pence has appeared to forget or ignore them altogether, criticizing the media for focusing on "one day in January" even though his life was very much at stake on the day he seems so keen to downplay.
