Liz Cheney
The Public Record
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. During her time in Congress, Cheney was known for her strong stance on national security and her opposition to former President Donald Trump, particularly following the events of January 6, 2021, which led to her being removed from her leadership position within the House Republican Conference.
I intend to be the leader -- one of the leaders in a fight to help to restore our party, and the fight to bring our party back to substance and principles.
This is the I think opening salvo in that battle, and it`s a battle we have to win.
We face a threat America has never seen before, a former president who provoked a violent attack on the Capitol.
I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.
We cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.
I have been very public that that commission needs to be bipartisan. It needs to look only at January 6th and the events leading up to it, not at the BLM and Antifa riots last summer. And I think that that kind of intense, narrow focus…
Leader McCarthy's visit to the former president in Mar-A-Lago was really stunning. You know, given what the former president did, he is not just former president. You know, he provoked an attack on the Capitol, an attack on our democracy…
Today we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen…
I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president`s crusade to undermine our democracy. Somebody who has provoked an attack on the United States…
I am a conservative Republican and the most conservative of conservative principles is reverence for the rule of law. The Electoral College has voted. More than 60 state and federal courts including multiple judges the former president…
What President Trump did on the 6th of January, what he is continuing to do in denying the results of the election are really an affront to the fundamentals of what the Republican Party is.
Just get everybody to come out together holding hands, thinking about Joe Biden`s overreach and how they want a check on Democratic governance.
This is not about policy. This is not about partisanship. This is about our duty as Americans. Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar.
I think that he is not leading with principle right now. And I think that it is -- it`s sad and I think it`s dangerous. And I think that we are at a moment where the Republican Party has to have leaders that are focused on principle.
This is the, I think, opening salvo in that battle and it`s a battle we have to win, because it`s not just about the Republican Party, it`s about the country.
I intend to be the leader -- one of the leaders in a fight to help to restore our party.
We must go forward based on truth. We cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the Constitution.
If you are pro-democracy, pro-truth, pro-facts person, you don`t fit in that party anymore.
I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.
I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence, while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president's crusade to undermine our democracy.
Tomorrow morning Liz Cheney will preside over the meeting of the Republican caucus where she will be replaced because she believes Biden won the election and Trump lost.
If this is allowed, this is a threat to democracy, the rule of law, and to a party that was -- that one that should be a party dedicated to freedom and to the Constitution.
Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. We must speak the truth. Our election was not stolen, and America has not failed.
