MANCHESTER, NH: Republican Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming said Tuesday that former President Donald Trump is at war with the rule of law and the Constitution and that GOP lawmakers who sit quietly are supporting his efforts.
Cheney, a Trump critic who is the deputy chairman of a congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol uprising, said the challenge now is whether citizens will do their duty and defend the Constitution and stand up for truth.
Will we keep our oath above partisan politics or will we look away from danger and danger, embracing lies and enabling liars? Cheney asked while speaking at a First Amendment event in New Hampshire. When it comes to that question, there is no gray area when it comes to the moment. There is no middle ground.
Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on charges of inciting the January 6 rebellion. Hundreds of Trump supporters violently pushed past police, broke into the US Capitol building and obstructed the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential election victory in a vain bid to keep Trump in office.
His scathing criticism of Trump and his insistence on Congress to investigate the Capitol attack resulted in his removal from the post of GOP convention chairman and caused a serious primary challenge back home. Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has framed Trump and the January 6 uprising as a fight for survival for the Republican Party and democracy itself.
Some Republican Party officials in Wyoming announced in August that they would no longer recognize Cheney as a member of the party after they voted to impeach Trump. Many have also announced plans to challenge Cheney next year. Trump has endorsed Wyoming Attorney Harriet Hejman for the seat.
Cheney, for his part, has reported record fundraising, which far exceeds the amount raised by his competitors.
On Tuesday, the January 6 House committee issued summons to 10 more former officials who worked for Trump towards the end of his presidency, including Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany and Senior Adviser Stephen Miller.
