Republican Rep. Liz Cheney warned that Donald Trump is a threat to the United States the likes of which 'we have never faced before' in a Sunday evening speech.
Wyoming's lone House Representative was among the recipients for this year's John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awards.
Her acceptance speech drew parallels between the Civil War and last year's US Capitol attack in the pivotal tests they presented for the country's democratic institutions.
Cheney discussed the historic importance of a peaceful transfer of power - which she said 'has been honored by every American president, except one' - and recalled Kennedy's inaugural pledge to 'defend freedom' in its hour of need.
'In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger,' Cheney said.
Taking aim at her arch-rival Trump, she continued: 'Today, that role is ours, as we face a threat we have never faced before - a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic.'
'At this moment, we must all summon the courage to stand against that.'
She then directed her remarks at her GOP colleagues, the vast majority of whom have disavowed the conservative Republican over her persistent criticism of Trump.
'The question for every one of us is: in this time of testing, will we do our duty? Will we defend our Constitution, will we stand for truth, will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics, or will we look away from danger, ignore the threats, embrace the lies and enable a liar?' Cheney asked.
Cheney is the highest-ranking and one of only two Republican lawmakers on the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.

When does this skank get voted out?
The ballots came from New York, the truck driver was told to leave the trailer in a parking lot....
Is Liz Cheney compromised? Sounds like it.
if your pro American, that means you’re anti DC criminal cabal
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And there are MANY Assistant Democrats (aka RINOs) in that cabal who must be tossed out of office ASAP before they wreak any more damage to our country.
Because she is a favorite of the real powers in the smoke filled room that run the GOP behind the scenes. In other words, she IS the GOP as far as DC insiders are concerned. She's not going anywhere unless the voters can her and if that happens look for her to be put into a top role in the GOP.
I feel sorry for the good people of Wyoming. What a horrific embarrassment they continue to suffer through. Long past time to cowboy up and shut her down.
Has Liz looked around lately? Hillary’s been proven crooked. Biden is at war. Inflation through the roof. Police under fire. Non existent borders.
I'd guess follow the $$$$ might tell us why.
It's not always about the money....but generally it is.
I know they have told you a million times, Liz, but DON’T exaggerate. You tend to lose credibility.
Donald J. Trump is not the “biggest threat” President, ever, not by a long shot. Once, peace and prosperity beckoned close at hand. Now, that is all gone a-glimmering, reduced to a phantom just out of reach.
yep, I can be pretty pragmatic but no matter how the lesser of two evils comes into play I will NOT vote for a Bush or Cheney and would sit it out and let the chips fall however they may
Who voted for Her ? No one I know in Wyoming did
She won her last election before she went off the rails. The upcoming primary is going to be the first time Wyoming voters get to weigh in since she went to the dark side.
The only problem with your shtick, Lizzy, is that Trump was exactly right that the election was stolen. It was corrupt at every level, and he had every right to object.
She is CERTIFIABLE!!! I guess Trump was VERY CLOSE to EXPOSING the CHENEY CRIME FAMILY!
Projection! Projection!
Projection, projection, here in our little town of Washingtevka, without our projection, we’d be as shaky as...as...Hunter Biden in withdrawal.
Please GOD.....let that This be the end of the Cheneys.
“…. tells Americans to stand up to ‘liars’ and ‘protect the Constitutio…..”
We are, Liz, we are. Just not in the way you’ll like.
FYI everyone...Hugh Hewitt was on Fox yesterday and proclaimed his undying admiration for Liz and expressed his hope for her victory. For what it’s worth.
“stand up to ‘liars’ and ‘protect the Constitution’”
Yes, by voting your sorry ass out.
John F Kennedy award eh? That blows my mind
