Liz Cheney is exactly what JFK would consider A Profile in Courage! I'm a liberal, but I thank her for her service to this country, I thank her for her outstanding integrity and leadership in the Committee! She has my full support!

[disko.kommando]

What a brave woman. It's a damn shame there is not an Army of GOP politicians actively publicly supporting this outstanding citizen.

A calm and decent statement, and still so powerful. 👌🙂👍 ❗

That time can not come soon enough.

But let's be honest. DeSantis is going to take those reins of the indefensible, and try to destroy this country completely.

[kaiberberich]

She's devastating ... no garnish here at all - just speaking truth to power, calling out the treason !!

[whodatnation]

Those are some very powerful words 💙❤️🇺🇸

I think I just heard the Gettysburg Address and the Ask Not What Your Country Can Do For You speech of this generation.

Even though she has different political views then some, you have to respect her for standing by her oath of office.
Well done Ms Cheney.

[Thomas-rjkl]

She’ll go down in history as a true patriot 🇺🇸

[bethdavis]

Powerful words. She just marked her place in the History books.

[juliec]

Now that is a patriot. When she said that last night, right away I thought...wow this quote will go down in the books for sure. But today saw tweets from her 'collegues' there really is no hope for that party sheeshh.

Congresswoman Cheney is willing to give up her political career for our Constitution, our democracy, and our country. No other Republican can say that, and not all Democrats can, either.

I disagree with Cheney on just about everything — except for our shared, unbreakable love and respect for our country and our democracy. This woman is a patriot.

Her statement will go down in history!
"There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone but your dishonor will remain". 🇺🇲♥️

"Your dishonor will remain."
Sounds like a great epitaph for Donald.

[dprcontracting]

She hit the nail on the head. How McCarthy et al can look at themselves in the mirror is a mystery to me.

[mtheory]

This is definitely one for the history books.

[mrblackhawk]

I may disagree with her policies but I have the upmost respect for those who speak with truth

[alfredeneuman]

LIz Cheney has bigger balls than any man in the Republican Party. Kudos Ms. Cheney.
