Hope Hicks , a former senior adviser to Donald Trump , fumed to a fellow White House aide during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection that we all look like domestic terrorists now and wouldnt be able to find new jobs as a result.

Text messages released by the House select committee investigating the attack show Hicks texting Julie Radford, former chief of staff to Ivanka Trump , as Trump supporters were laying siege to the U.S. Capitol.

Hicks complained that the insurrection had ruined their employability.

In one day he ended every future opportunity that doesnt include speaking engagements at the local proud boys chapter, Hicks said, apparently referring to the then-president and the Proud Boys right-wing extremist group.

Yup, Radford replied.

And all of us that didnt have jobs lined up will be perpetually unemployed, Hicks added. Im so mad and upset.

We all look like domestic terrorists now, she added.

Radford replied: Oh yes Ive been crying for an hour.

Not being dramatic, but we are all fucked, Hicks said in another message, adding that Alyssa looks like a genius for leaving, referring to Alyssa Farah Griffin, who resigned her post as White House communications director a few weeks after Trump lost the 2020 election.
