Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming in a new interview took aim at her fellow Republicans who she says have pledged loyalty to former President Donald Trump rather than their oath of office.
"We have too many people now, in the Republican Party, who are not taking their responsibility seriously, and who have pledged their allegiance and loyalty to Donald Trump," the Republican lawmaker told CBS' Robert Costa in a clip of their interview that will air in full on Sunday.
"It is fundamentally antithetical, it is contrary to everything conservatives believe to embrace a personality cult," Cheney continued. "And yet, that is what so many in my party are doing today."
Costa asked Cheney whether she believes the GOP is a personality cult, to which she responded that "large segments" have become so.
"There is absolutely a cult of personality around Donald Trump," she added.
The congresswoman's comments come as she's gearing up for an intense political battle to hold on to her seat in Wyoming against Trump-backed opponent Harriet Hageman, a lawyer and former Republican National Committee member. Cheney officially filed for reelection last Thursday although she was already widely expected to re-run.
Trump, who's targeted Cheney over her vote to impeach him for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot, campaigned for Hageman at a rally last Saturday in Casper, Wyoming. Thousands of his supporters filled the indoor auditorium and cheered as Trump took the stage and attacked Cheney.
The Wyoming Republican primary takes place on August 16.

Zhe sure does. She acts like a stalker. Trump should get a restraining order agaisnt her.
Lol that is something like what my neice would bake.
May she burn through most of her finances in her failed bid for president, a d may she be booed off the stage everywhere she goes until, she gets the message that she is the most reviled rino on the planet, if she is even capable of understanding the obvious, which is doubtful.
It’s getting dark around her an omen warning.
Good grief, does she have a shrine dedicated to Trump?The only cult around Trump is the NeverTrumpers who are by definition a cult for their obsession with and slimy, exaggerated paranoia of him.
