Liz Cheney Says Trump and Supporters ‘At War With Constitution’ in House Speech

Republican Representative Liz Cheney said former President Donald Trump and his loyalists are undermining democracy and risk inciting more violence by persisting in their false claim of a fraudulent 2020 election.

On the eve of a vote by her fellow Republicans that is all but certain to remove her from a party leadership post, Cheney appeared on the House floor Tuesday night to drive home her message that those who refuse to accept the election results affirmed by officials from both parties and the courts “are at war with the Constitution.”

“Today, we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol, in an effort to steal the election, has resumed his aggressive efforts to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him,” Cheney said. “I will not sit back and watch in silence,” she added. “We must speak the truth. Our election was not stolen.” The Wednesday morning vote by Republican House members will be done by secret ballot.

Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, has become increasingly isolated in her party for her persistent rebuttals to Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen. House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy has said that’s become a distraction for Republicans and backs replacing her as Republican conference chair with New York Representative Elise Stefanik, a Trump loyalist.

The former president, meanwhile, has kept up a drumbeat of attacks on Cheney.

“The House GOP has a massive opportunity to upgrade this week from warmonger Liz Cheney to gifted communicator Elise Stefanik,” Trump said in a statement released Monday.

Funny they don't talk about the ashore that killed a patriot woman
@charles timm  
You mean the Senator, that purposely shot Ashley Bobbitt?! The one that they covered for, by saying it was house police.  House police, in a suit and tie yet, coming out of a Senator's office!!  They think we don't know... Then they probably murdered the house police man, that they said committed suicide; because he might have sung like a bird,   about the real truth!!
P.S. For absolute certain, for many minutes he saw Ashley was unarmed, but purposely shot her specifically anyway!! Even so, they still got Nancy Pelosi's laptop, that showed and proved she had a little business deal going, to sell China a large part of GE electric Company!! But this is why they are deflecting from January 6, on to President Trump rather. Because they them selves, are in a hot hell of a lot of trouble, when there is nothing left to deflect from. Nancy Pelosi was making a deal; to sell out an olde, and well known American Company to China, get it?! Let's focus on the ramifications of that, in a Special Committee Investigation!! Let's do it Now, as Liz is on Nancy Pelosi's behalf. Liz is Nothing like her dad!! He stayed in a War Prisoners Camp for years taking torture, and not selling out against USA. While Liz at the drop of a hat, is a Communist Sympathizer, who will throw America, and it's People's vote, right under the bus!! Her dad must be proud of her now!!

Jeez, all Liz Cheney can think of is war...

[olenatty]

This deranged woman needs to go! She has forgotten the fact that she is to REPRESENT the will of her constituents, not her own will. She refuses to listen, so she should not be serving in Congress.

Jeremiah 9:3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.
4 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.
5 And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

All these mentions of religion in our government. Separate church and state!

[gxl]

On behalf of all Americans and their families that paid the ultimate sacrifice fighting and giving their life in all past wars in the name of Democracy/Constitutional Republic, please for God sake, hold these Republican traitors accountable. And most of all Donald Trump and the Republican Senators who are cowards.

[sageryan]

Liz, you just keep repeating the democrat line. Almost as if you are trying to brainwash the public who know President Trump is our truly elected president.

[donnalittle]

She not a Republican ran off their party to win more like a Lberal.

[meredithfrank]

You are so blessed with courage. I would follow such a Patriotic American. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH.

[brittneyk]

ATTA GIRL, LIZZY! Nice way to break away from the GQP CULT! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[kizzik]

Wow, what courage, patriotism and love for country is Liz Cheney! She reminds me of the iconic lone protester blocking a column of tanks in the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests. That picture will forever be the shame of the Chinese Regime.
Liz Cheney standing in that empty chamber as the lone voice of reason and truth against a megalomaniac and his sycophants will forever be the shame of the Republican Party!

[We_Finally_Beat_Medicare]

👈 He’s the one at war with the constitution.

[robertocorti]

Seriously, she is a real republican.
to you all that want anarchy and no regulations, and to whom the"republican"party catered for, go to a stroll around the world.
There is a reason anarchy never last.
People die, and chance are you would too.
