Liz Cheney is an American attorney and politician who served as the U.S. Representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 2017 to 2023. A member of the Republican Party, she is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.

This was a violent assault on the United States Capitol. And it was provoked by a sitting president of United States. If we really want to understand why January 6 is a line that can never be crossed again, then we really do have to sort…
Mark, the President needs to tell people in the capitol to go home. This is hurting all of us. He is destroying his legacy.
I think, certainly -- I mean if you look at the court filings -- I do. It is extremely broad. It’s extremely well-organized. It’s really chilling.
People must pay attention. People must watch, and they must understand how easily our democratic system can unravel, if we don’t defend it.
the nature of the frontal assault on the most basic foundation of our democratic order.
Let me say this way, I haven’t learned anything that has made me less concerned.
It`s an ongoing threat. You know, we are not in a situation where former President Trump has expressed any sense of remorse about what happened. We`re in fact in a situation where he continues to use even more extreme language, frankly…
We`re, in fact, in a situation where he continues to use even more extreme language, frankly, than the language that caused the attack. And so people must pay attention, people must watch and they must understand how easily our democratic…

I do. It is extremely broad, it`s extremely well organized, it`s really chilling.
We know, as he was sitting there in the dining room next to Oval Office, members of his staff were pleading with him to go on television to tell people to stop. We know members of his family. We know his daughter. We have firsthand…

This sacred obligation to defend the peaceful transfer of power has been honored by every American president except one. Standing on the east front of the United States Capitol on a snowy morning in 1961, President Kennedy said in the long…
Do Republicans have a problem here? Well, Kinzinger and Cheney might be right, their influence in their party has diminished.
The House G.O.P. leadership has enabled White nationalism, White supremacy and anti-Semitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. G.O.P. leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.
The House GOP leadership has enabled white nationalism, white supremacy and antisemitism. History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse. GOP leaders must renounce and reject these views and those who hold them.
Congressman Jordan may well be a material witness. He is somebody who was involved in a number of meetings in the lead up to what happened on January 6, involved in planning for January 6, certainly for the objections that day as he said…
I think that he has important information that needs to be part of any investigation.
I guess there’s a question. When we were talking about the 25th Amendment resolution --

Former President Trump continues to make the same claims that he knows caused violence on January 6, unfortunately, too many in my own party are embracing that former President or looking the other way or minimizing the danger. That`s how…
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom and its hour of maximum danger. Today, we stand at another hour of maximum danger in the cause of freedom.
