Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 House Republican, announced on Tuesday that she would vote to impeach President Trump, saying there had “never been a greater betrayal by a president of the United States” than Mr. Trump’s incitement of a mob that attacked the Capitol last week.
In a stinging statement that drove a fissure through her party, Ms. Cheney dismissed fellow Republicans arguing that the impeachment was rushed, premature or unwarranted. Her words were unequivocal and likely to give cover to two dozen or so other House Republicans looking to break ranks and join an effort that was also said to have the tacit support of Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader.
“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough,” said Ms. Cheney, the scion of a storied Republican political family. “The president of the United States 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 added: “The president could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not.”

Six House Republicans on Tuesday introduced a resolution to censure President Trump over his role in stoking last week’s violent riots at the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
Sounds like you’re still a Dick Cheney supporter?
Three RINOS.
We need to get rid of these people.
Looks like we are gonna have quite few primaries.
MAGA, You are with us OR with the democrats.
Yo, Liz, did you already give Sleepy a list of countries you want our young fighting men and women to die in?
Off-topic: Quodverum reporting that Diane Feinstein has filed paperwork to run again in 2024. She will be 91 years old. Unbelievable.
Never forget.
Hey Liz, is this the most important thing in America right now. Maybe you could work on bringing our troops home?
What idiots. Impeachment isn’t going to happen. These reps will never be accepted by Democrats and now they just lost their support from Republican voters. They should keep their mouth shut even if they feel this way. I don’t think they feel this way, but trying to fit in. Betrayal.
Wow. the betrayal is astounding!
This Cheney bitch is totally unconcerned about the massive fraud that stole the 2020 election from Donald Trump and God knows how many Republican Senatorial candidates and House candidates.
In the president’s words: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
How the f-— is that “inciting a riot”, bitch Cheney?
P.S.: They wasted a heart on your endless wars father.
All lies. NY Times now is on Cheney’s side against Trump.
He didn’t summon a mob. Yes there were antifa people there.
The Republican Party had already blown its own brains out, now the rotting corpse is grabbing a knife and stabbing its still heart.
John Katko, NY 24th District: 53.1% Adam Kinzinger, IL 16th District: 64.7% Liz Cheney, WY 1st District: 68.7%
Katko is dumber than he looks.
2020: Katko 53.1% 182,567 Balter 43.0% 147,638
2018: Katko 52.6% 136,920 Balter 47.4% 123,226
All we need is for 8,000-10,000 patriots in NY 24 to vote Democrat in 2022, and we could bayonet this POS out of office.
Alternately, 20,000 patriots in NY 24 could just #SitOutTheVote2022, and this POS would go down in flames.
Actually, a coordinated effort in this vein could expose the Dominion cheatware.
Imagine if you had a covert network of "I wrote in Trump" people in every voting district.
Compare the Dominion cheat total versus the network total.
Good! I know I’m changing to Independent. I hope her office is overwhelmed with calls. So arrogant.
Oh I’m not forgetting this whole episode very soon
“I will never vote Republican again. People will say, ‘lesser of two evils.’”
BOTH parties have proven to us to be nothing BUT evil, self-enriching JERKS.
All of them!
Vote Third Party. DENY both Pubbies and Socialist Democrats your vote!
AMEN!
“Remember when many Freepers practically worshipped Bush AND Cheney?”
I was still a Canadian kid back in 2000 so I did NOT vote for this clown. Immigrated to America 2006 with an NCAA-1 scholarship.
Three of the first to get rounded up. Thanks for unmasking.
