Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming on Sunday reaffirmed her decision to impeach former President Donald Trump and said she would not resign from her seat.
During an appearance on "Fox News Sunday," Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, said that she felt "compelled" to support Trump's removal.
"I think people all across Wyoming understand and recognize that our duty is to the Constitution," she said in response to being formally censured by the Wyoming Republican Party on February 6.
"The oath that I took to the Constitution compelled me to vote for impeachment and it doesn't bend to partisanship, it doesn't bend to political pressure. It's the most important oath that we take and so I will stand by that and I will continue to fight for all of the issues that matter so much to us all across Wyoming."
Cheney was one of 10 House Republicans who broke with the Republican Party to impeach Trump for "incitement of insurrection" for his role in the deadly January 6 Capitol riots.
Last week, Cheney survived an effort to remove her from her leadership role, with House Republicans backing her in a 145-61 vote.
In the interview, Cheney blasted Trump's longstanding efforts to sow doubts into President Joe Biden's victory and the electoral process, which culminated in masses of rioters attempting to stop the Electoral College certification.
"People in the party are mistaken," she said. "They believe that BLM and Antifa were behind what happened here at the Capitol. It's just simply not the case, not true and we are going to have a lot of work we have to do."

When you’re in a hole, stop digging.
Wanna bet?
She’s a typically arrogant Cheney.
I am ready to send money to a strong, real conservative who runs against her in the 2022 R Primary.
That is correct, the GOP is ceasing to exist, except as an appendage of the NWO
There’s someone out of touch with their constituents. No doubt about it.
What an imbecile this witch is. I wonder how she or a family member is compromised. Those that scream the loudest usually have some evil in their life.
I love it!
she seems to have it backwards: SHE has no role in leadership (and will soon lose her seat) and he can call his own shots with 75 million followers. somebody’s been drinking the KoolAid.
Where are the WMDs that her father said Iraq had?
reminds me of the picture of a pistol with the barrel facing the shooter. They have no idea what’s in store for them come election time if there ever will be
Who is Liz Cheney?
The lame duck who was just kicked out of the Wyoming GOP?
Who cares what she thinks.
She’s not worth the Romney I dropped into the toilet today after coffee.
Puff, puff, puff Lizard. It’s Trump’s party now. We’ve seen the light.
Donald Trump will be the GOP presidential nominee in 2024 if he runs.
Liz Cheney will be tossed out on her sorry ass in next year’s Wyoming Republican primary.
The end.
To Cheney: Sez who?
She apparently wants Jeb Bush, Kasich, Karl Rove and William Kristol to hold up the lighted torch of conservatism to lead us onward. Ridiculous. They already had decades and didn’t do it—between Reagan and Trump.
The true appeal: who speaks for us? It isn’t the old time GOP elites.
She should go hunting with her Dad.
Sounds like Liz has had a total loss re reality and should have drug tests before she says or writes anything.
They were they but the process took so long that Saddam had lots of time to ship them to Syria.
