In a new op-ed for The Washington Post, Rep. Liz Cheney says the Republican Party is at a “turning point” and must decide whether to accept or reject Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 election, which she says provoked the violence on January 6 and could provoke violence again.
“Trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work — confidence in the result of elections and the rule of law. No other American president has ever done this,” Cheney writes. “The Republican Party is at a turning point, and Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution.”
In the op-ed, the embattled No. 3 House Republican calls for Republicans to support both the ongoing Justice Department investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot as well as a separate, bipartisan congressional commission into the event. Cheney calls out her Republican colleague, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, for “[changing] his story” on Trump’s responsibility for the riots. She also repeats her view that Republicans should “steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic Trump cult of personality” if it hopes to win national elections in the future.
“History is watching. Our children are watching,” Cheney writes. “We must be brave enough to defend the basic principles that underpin and protect our freedom and our democratic process. I am committed to doing that, no matter what the short-term political consequences might be.”
The op-ed comes as Cheney’s future in the House leadership is in jeopardy, with a vote to remove her as conference chair coming as early as next week.
Wouldn't it be funny if the judge declared that the DOJ *lacks standing* to intervene?
Look at the DOJ official who wrote the letter to Fann!!!

After 4 days of fever, chills, aches and fatigue the HCQ/AZITH/ZN seems to have cured my Chinavirus in less than 24 hours.
Also key to the treatment is an extreme low-carb, low-sugar diet my doc insists is the key to “starving the virus” and avoiding relapse.
On the other hand my doctor has made me deeply heartsick and worried about a potential vaccine-based catastrophe which I fear could involve many of my family and friends who have succumbed to the propaganda and pressures. This could play out over the next several years.
“History is watching. Our children are watching,” Cheney writes. “We must be brave enough to defend the basic principles that underpin and protect our freedom and our democratic process. I am committed to doing that, no matter what the short-term political consequences might be.”

She wouldn’t recognize the principles underpinning and protecting our freedom and REPUBLICAN processes, if they smacked her in the face.
Woe to those who call good evil, and evil good. Anyone calling Jan 6 an insurrection or other hyperbole such as she has done is a liar and traitor to the Republic. spit.
“Trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work ...”
how the UniParty sees voter fraud...they’ve basically just admitted , through Cheney, they cannot survive clean elections.
Hey, Cheney’s brat:
Put a sock in it!
