Rep. Liz Cheney: “Trump is not an ‘impressionable child’ and is responsible for his actions”

During Tuesday’s hearing, the Jan. 6 committee highlighted the ways violent far-right extremists answered Donald Trump’s “siren call” to come to a big Washington rally and probed whether they coordinated with White House allies in the deadly U.S. Capitol attack and effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
The panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol siege delved into what it calls the final phase of Trump’s multi-pronged effort to halt Joe Biden’s victory.
As dozens of lawsuits and false claims of voter fraud fizzled, Trump tweeted the rally invitation, a pivotal moment, the committee said. Members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers groups who are now facing rare sedition charges readily answered. #shorts

[patrickdinglasan]

He didn't get what he wanted, so he threw a temper tantrum like a spoiled child.

It is so important for her and others to repeatedly states facts regarding Trump. Cheney is respectful and has statesmanship. Talking about Trump in derogatory terms only makes his followers dig in their heels all the more. She keeps repeatedly, firmly reasoning the facts out. I wish we had a couple dozen Liz Cheney’s.

I have the Highest respect for Elizabeth Cheney for standing up for democracy and standing up against Donald Trump and standing up for what is right in America and not just following a corrupt president like all the others did, which makes them look terrible in America Peoples eyes and honorable politicians, unlike Elizabeth Cheney the rest of them, follow Donald Trump, and his corrupt ways I honor with jamie and Amanda, her for her Braveness standing up to Donald Trump when he was wrong, and she knew it and not following him like a puppet on the string like the rest of those Republicans did shame on all of them they will go down in American history, as a disgrace to the American people, they let The American people down and followed a corrupt president

Liz is a true patriot, conservative, yes, but always acts to serve the people, NOT herself.

She is fair, what the Republican party used to be.

[juliemikesemprebon]

I'm a Democrat and I'd vote for Liz Chaney if she ran for President!!!

[juergenwest]

We don’t have to agree on political policies as long as we can agree on political principles. That is how democracy endures.

[deecobb]

We all have responsibility for what we say. Period.
I’m realizing every day how much what I think doesn’t need to be voiced. Especially when no one is listening.
I appreciate you Miss Cheney. You know how to speak and how to say thr important things; we all need to not just listen but hear this message clearly

[johnanderson]

He isn’t a child, but he is childish in the extreme.

[thomasdahl]

Republicans like her need to take the party back!

[Katherine-qtzg]

Tell them liz you are absolutely right

[stephengibbons]

Making false accusations is one of the most egregious sins

[rickgiusti]

[Scaredycat-dad]
