Liz Cheney in Trump impeachment


On Government Reform: Trump is at war "with the rule of law and the Constitution"

Cheney said that former President Donald Trump is at war "with the rule of law and the Constitution" and that GOP lawmakers who sit by silently are aiding his efforts. Cheney said the challenge now is whether citizens will do their duty and "defend the Constitution and stand for truth."

"Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics or will we look away from the danger and the threat, embrace the lies and enable the liar?" Cheney asked. "There is no gray area when it comes to that question, when it comes to this moment. There is no middle ground."

Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting the Jan. 6 insurrection. Her fierce criticism of Trump and her insistence that Congress investigate the Capitol attack resulted in her being removed from her position as GOP conference chair and led to a serious primary challenge back home.

On Principles & Values: Highest ranking GOP House member for impeachment

Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming -- the highest-ranking GOP woman in the House, the only woman in her party's leadership and the only member of Republican leadership to back impeachment so far -- said that "what we know now is enough."

"The president summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the president," she said in a statement.
