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.

As always just rearrange the words and names in the title and you find the truth !!
STFU Liz. Your ‘rap’ is getting old and obnoxious.
<< Taking aim at her arch-rival Trump, she continued….>>
Arch-rival? Lol. She’s a pimple on a donkey’s azz.
Why is she allowed to remain in the GOP?
It's pitiful.
She is soooo much a Bushie
“Why is she allowed to remain in the GOP?”
Please wake up.
That means Trump must be worse than any threat the U.S. has faced for hundreds of years. Trump must be worse than Stalin, Adolph Hitler or Mao.
Do I need to place a sarcasm tag?
He started no war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Her father did.
That is why we are supporting Trump!
Very sad.
On the other hand I believe that hyperbole is the biggest thread to the entire universe ever by a million billion times.
THIS is how lizard makes America Great?
Since she hates this country so much, why doers she stay here? Wouldn’t she be more comfortable living in Cuba??
I am standing up for the constitution Lizzie.
RESIGN!
You’re a disgrace to this country.
To the left it’s not sarcasm.
“...will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics...”
By joining a totally partisan witch hunt?
Democrats and Assistant Democrats (Bush League Republicans) have been importing a new electorate for 30 years.
NOTHING is a bigger threat to the citizens.
