Liz Cheney: Republicans must choose, be loyal to Trump or the Constitution [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Rep. Liz Cheney called former President Trump a “domestic threat” in front of Republicans during a speech at the Reagan Library in California on Wednesday.
- Cheney urged Republicans to choose as they “cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.”
- Cheney praised Cassidy Hutchinson’s “bravery” for her testimony on Tuesday before the Jan. 6 committee.
GOP Rep. Liz Cheney called former President Donald Trump a “domestic threat” Wednesday evening after Cassidy Hutchinson’s Tuesday damaging testimony before the Jan. 6 panel.
“We are confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before – and that is a former President who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional Republic,” Cheney said during a speech at the Reagan Library in Southern California.
“And he is aided by Republican leaders and elected officials who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man.”
She urged Republicans to choose as ” we cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution.” Cheney received a round of applause from her audience.
Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger are the only Republican members of the Jan. 6 committee. The congresswoman faces a steep challenge in Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman in her Wyoming primary this August.
Still, Cheney insisted, “No party and no people and no nation can defend and perpetuate a constitutional republic if they accept a leader who’s gone to war with the rule of law, with the democratic process or with the peaceful transition of power – with the constitution itself.”
Though she also mentioned global threats like Russia and North Korea in her speech and criticized President Joe Biden for the economy, Cheney targeted Trump.
“The efforts Donald Trump oversaw and engaged in were even more chilling and more threatening than we could have imagined,” she said, referring to testimonies from the Jan. 6 hearings adding. She added that Trump’s alleged actions are both “undeniable” and “painful” for Republicans to accept.
She told her audience that she chose to no longer support Trump first as a mother because she wants her children and their children to live in a country where “the peaceful transfer of power is guaranteed.” Second, she did it as an American and a person of faith.
Cheney then quoted former President Ronald Reagan, who said, “it is up to us in our time to choose and to choose wisely between the hard but necessary task of preserving peace and freedom and the temptation to ignore our duty and blindly hope for the best while the enemies of freedom grown stronger day by day.”

Hey Liz…
No voter should support a member of congress who is UNWILLING to HEAR and INVESTIGATE serious allegations of FRAUD and other State Law VIOLATIONS!
WHY are you willing to present HEARSAY testimony of someone, but NOT the testimony of TWO first hand witnesses (who happen to refute the testimony of YOUR “witness”)?

Liz Cheney has now placed herself in a position where she is not a Republican and will never be accepted in our party again. If she switches to a Democrat they will not accept her because she was a Republican. She is now a woman not only without a party but in fact, a woman with a country. Her political career is over and it is of her own doing. Good Riddance.

They support and twist hearsay because they are, in fact liberal Democrats disguised as Republicans. Liz Cheney is a decoy to attract attention away from another disguised John Cornyn who is pushing a disguised bill through Congress that will eventually mandate all public schools to teach this country’s children CRT and homosexual indoctrination. These disguised traitors deserve to die!

I agree with you. It’s all about Trump when he was only representing the American people. I still believe & always will say it was a stolen election. They’re busy doing everything they can to keep him from politics. They need to do some work for a change like closing our borders, work on being self sufficient & stop depending on China when we have our own resources.

Why does Liz Cheney hate President Donald Trump so much? Her actions, commentary and directions are more than investigations and deliberations. It is down right hate….driving hate.

She hates him so much because of the comments (all of which were TRUE) President Trump made regarding her father!

Cheney has become totally unglued, and is spewing divisive and dishonest rhetoric about Conservatives, Republicans and Trump. Speaking like that in the Reagan Library is very disrespectful to one of the greatest Presidents America ever had, Ronald Reagan. She should just admit she’s a Democrat.

Good question. She has gone down the rabbit hole too far to back out. She’s also a progressive and power hungry. She will never admit her poor choices, and she has sold her soul to the far left devil, the Dems.

Liz Cheney has evolved into a demonrat along with the Democrat party. Democrats used to be for the working man. Now they are so out of touch with the working class in this country. They follow their own woke agenda and back Antifa, LGBTQ and are trying to push CRT in schools. They back everything that is destroying our country and the shred the COSTITUTION EVERY CHANCE THEY GET. Trump stands for the and backs the Constitution, Christianity and all
religions. He did more for the USA then Biden has his whole political career. Biden is killing everything he touches in this country. Cheney will get what is coming to her in the November elections. That is if you can keep people from cheating again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cheney you are as big a liar as the Democrats. You have twisted the truth all through your so called investigation and You know you will not honestly be a representing Wyoming after this Nov. election. You did not make the investigation a fair procedure by not letting any republicans on the investigations. Everything you presented in the investigation was a lie. I think you want to run for President and you won’t stand a chance of winning especially if our President Trump was running. You are a Rino and I hope after what you did on this investigation you will never be allowed to run for an office again or allowed on any political job. What about all those innocent people held in jail and under investigation for Jan. 6th that didn’t do anything wrong? I hope individually every person responsible for them in jail or investigated sues you and all your partners in crime. And the taxpayer shouldn’t have to pay money for any of this stuff going on. Each individual idiot that is behind this investigation should have to pay out of their own pocket.

Just like John McCain, Liz is part of the sick, twisted, and corrupt Establishment Sewer. I was a big supporter of W when her dad was VP, but W turned out to be more and more Establishment as time went by. I don’t believe Liz was ever a conservative. Another Dem cloaking themselves in Conservative rhetoric to get their slice of power. She sickens me. She wouldn’t know the Constitution if she tripped over it. What a pathetic straw-man argument. Trump or the Constitution…. Trump has been the only one out there supporting the Constitution and Republic…

Easier decision than Cheney thinks. I support both Trump and the Constitution. She was a willing partner in the Dems’ witch hunt and kangaroo court.
When she was on Foxnews she was a reliable voice. Something happened to her when she became part of the DC “in-crowd”. I also suspect there is some personal animosity between her and Trump, I don’t know what it is. Her days in Congress should be numbered.

Like father like daughter. She was raised with a golden spoon in her mouth and knows nothing of the pleas and suffering of Americans in today’s economy. She hugs the person whose lies were immediately shown to be evident. These are the aspects of a traitor and she should never be given a position in any way, including dog catcher in our government ever again.

With all your obsession with Trump why don’t you just hook up with him and
Have the climactic resolution you really want. Your a really sick person who lies when
Ever it’s convenient to you. You should just lie on your back which your good at and have the
Only climax you’ll ever get. Your career is over and you won’t even make a good hookup. You
Should be ashamed of yourself your a back door receiver..

LIZ, I feel sorry for you, you are not a very happy person. If you can lie like the Democrats and live with as much hate as you have in your heart to destroy a former president and destroy our freedom, the constitution and blame other people for what you are guilty of doing. Please do not call your self a Republican. Bitterness and hate will destroy you. MAY GOD HELP YOU.

Yes Lizzie, we WILL make a choice, and it WILL NOT BE YOU! You have turned against our party, tried to get demonrats to change party affiliations to vote for you as RINOS! You are a traitor and not fit to be in our party! So NO we won’t vote for you!!!!

I hear a lot of accusations from her……..what I fail to hear is the FACTS of her delusional ejaculation. She hates Trump but, apparently, doesn’t know why. She has nothing, and gives NOTHING to back her false statements. Just like the commie dems with their impeachment and Jan. 6 hearings. C’mon, man!!!

I would not let her run a lemonade stand in the middle of the Sahara Desert cuz she don’t got a dang clue as to what is actually happening with people, the only person I can think of that may be more stupider than what she is is Uncle Joseph Stalin Biden another useless piece of you know what

I have another choice for the Republicans. Kick her out of the party and off the ticket. She should not be running as a Republican. I thought the Wyoming Republican party kicked her out? If so, how is she running as a Republican. If it was only that she was censored, the same question applies.

Look at what the economy was under President Trump and then look at the mess we are in now and it is totally corrupt democRATS and RINOS and also wimpy republicans that won’t stand up to the filth that is in power now.
