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.

Can't wait until she is voted out.
she couldn’t sound any more obsessed with Trump if she tried- Jealousy is a big green monster liz and it makes you look pathetic
And the liberals embrace a Satanic philosophy with euthanasia, homosexuality, abortion and child grooming. So Satan is their leader.
It’s about Making America Great Again, part of which is securing the border and restoring the rule of law so we can keep our country.
It’s that part that causes Bush League Republicans to hate Trump so intensely.
I’m not in her party. I vote republican.
Dear Lizard Cheney,
Buh-bye,
Love,
Patriots
Good grief, does she have a shrine dedicated to Trump? Her obsession is way beyond creepy.
The only thing this pathetic narcissist has ever accomplished is successfully clinging to Daddy’s coattails.
Liz is such a jealous wretch.
DONALD TRUMP LIKES US MORE THAN HE LIKES YOU, CHENEY.
NEENER, NEENER, BOO HOO.
EMBRACE THE SUCK.
25 weeks, Liz.
You’re exactly right. She’s like Maxine Waters.
Ah, we all must do what Liz sez.
When Liz was little she must have been a thrill for the children playing with her—a regular Nellie Oleson.
Jealous, Liz?
Trump sure did piss off the globalists!
A man that cares about US citizens gets our support.
Get on our team or let someone else help us.
. . . as opposed to a deep state cult around the Bush-Cheney-Romney wing of the party?
They see what’s coming. They can’t stand Trump has a welded bond with millions of his supporters, its historic and not been seen in modern America history. You’d have to dial back to the founders to see this type of relationship between a leader and the people
Well, on the bright side, Liz has a cult of NO personality around her.
The number of people’s minds Trump lives in rent free is staggering. It makes me smile Bigley! 😃
