Liz Cheney On Why Few Republicans Are Standing Up To Trump | The View

Liz Cheney tells "The View" America has "become numb" to Trump and explains why she says the country is "sleepwalking into a dictatorship": "It's not really understanding ... how dangerous it would be ... to have a president who was unwilling to enforce the rulings of the courts."

One can only admire Ms. Cheney's integrity & decency in the face of adversity. I wish her luck in her future endeavors.

We don't always have to agree on solutions. What we do need to agree on is preserving our country.

[margarethoneycutt]

This is a bold woman. I hope her book reaches a broad bipartisan audience with the necessary effect.

I'm a moderate Democrat/Progressive, there's very little I agree with Liz Cheney about, but I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for her integrity. I fully agree with her about trump, and I'm glad she came on the View to discuss this incredibly important topic. I may vehemently disagree with her policies and opinions, but there's no faulting her for her courage and integrity and loyalty to the Constitution.

[Matt-ogsi]

It’s still mind blowing to me that so many Americans still do not understand the importance of preserving the rule of law and the democracy.

[wookiewarrior]

Much respect Liz Cheney’s courage, a true patriot. I agree very little with her politics, but we all have to come together to ensure we keep our freedom.

[alliepetty]

I'm not numb, I'm terrified. I was a young adult during the Nixon/Watergate crisis. That seemed intense and confusing. This situation makes Watergate seem like just a serious investigation, not a threat to our safety. I don't know how to conceive of what could happen, or why

[wolfdreams]

Thanks for having her on! As a Democrat, i disagree with her on most things, but she's the type to discuss and compromise, like a normal person. I hold TONS of respect for her(and Adam)standing up for our country, knowing they'll lose their positions, but still did the right thing.

[orangeswirls]

She’s an honorable politician. I respect her because she’s going against what’s wrong in Congress. I hope she sticks around in government because she’s the guiding light of how politicians should act and be.

As a 32 year veteran I want to Thank you Liz Cheney for your courage. Our Constitution will survive on the backs of the many women like you that chose to risk all for America.

[zazahub]

Liz Cheney is a woman of honor! and she deserves all the honor and respect that she is getting from all over the political spectrum! She has the courage that her colleagues lack!

[carolemurray]

I am listening to her book right now. She and I are polar opposites politically but I have more respect for her than just about anyone on this planet. The courage it took to take a stand against all those powerful men is awe inspiring. We need more Liz Cheneys and less Donald Trumps in our world. Thanks for your strength and your bravery.

[ken-ibel]

I would never vote on policy with Liz Cheney, however her integrity is admirable. I have so much respect for her and commend her for her courage and integrity.

[dinasingleton]

Now, I want to read Liz Chaney’s book.

[mollym]

Doesn’t matter what your politics are. This woman deserves nothing but respect. Because the minute someone says she’s crazy for standing up to trump, you know what kind of person they are. This is what this country needs to get back to. Liberal and conservatives just sitting down not wishing death upon each other.

[Darcey-ts]

She definitely has his number and i ❤️ that shes nor scared of him like the other ones who cow tow to him

[jimmeusey]

Ms Cheney and I do not agree on many things. BUT she is an excellent example to us all that we don't have to fully agree with anyone in order respect them. There are a few other republicans in power, Kinziger for one, Schwarzenegger another, and truthfully, many others. But too many of them are bound and gagged by their party heads. If they speak "wrongly" they're at risk of losing funding and support. Right now, I would vote for Cheney for president over many others, dem or rep. Awesome person!!!

[R.senals_Arsenal]

If we had more Republicans like Liz we might have a functioning 2 party system again.

[jeanniemadosky]

You are my HERO! Pls pls keep fighting for the voiceless, like me. Grateful 🥹

[carolarmstrong]

I just attended Liz’s lecture in Sarasota, Florida! She speaks with heart to make everyone aware how fragile our Democracy is. I took away from this brave woman an important message that 2024 is our only year to fight for a two party system, not a dictatorship.
The theatre at The Van Wezel was sold out for both time frames and she received several long standing ovations from most all Americans in attendance. Thank you Liz! 🙏
