Liz Cheney hits back after Trump, House GOP target her over Jan. 6th Committee work

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) joins Nicolle Wallace on Deadline White House to discuss the threats made by President-Elect Trump and his allies in the House GOP against Liz Cheney for her work on the January 6th Select Committee, and how it speaks to a greater theme about how Trump is looking to attack and threaten anyone who he perceives as an enemy.

Learning from history? Not in the US (or in most of the rest of the world). The stench of fascism, oligarchy, and autocracy is thick in the air.

So why doesn't she and everyone else sue him for defamation? Obviously it's easy to win that kind of suit.

[pequodexpress]

Such targeting is now domestic terrorism. Where are the prosecutions?

[davidgiles]

EVERY REPUBLICAN FLOOR SPEECH AFTER JAN 6TH SHOULD BE LOOPED AND PLAYED DAILY 😮

[tristin]

This is why ALL investigations MUST be made public!

[abc-to]

Cheney and the Des Moines Register should both counter sue Rump for malicious abuse of the legal system, and they should also sue Lara Rump for defamation.

Hoax? We saw Jan 6 by our own eyes! Coup, not hoax!

[fastnick]

I like how they say January 6th was a hoax.. like we didn't all freaking watch it happen live.. Come on now.

[thomasferris-lj]

When Lara Trump said God, I expected her to burst into flames.🔥

[investorswantedchannel]

Cheney is a hero and we must all protect What is her crime MAGA??? Name it!!!

[NN]

Donald Trump is a STAIN on our country's history!

[silviat]

Isn't this like we thought Russia treated reporters

[BigCTV-]

This is outrageous !! If this moves forward those who care about democracy and our freedoms myself included need to speak up and hit the streets in protest ! Senator Murphy is exactly right as to the danger of this !

[BeatrizPerez-cytn]

This is how Cuba started. And Venezuela. And countless other countries that lost their democracy.

[marthacarrol]

President Biden YOU HAVE TOTAL IMMUNITY, DO SOMETHING!!!

[RéjaneBrousseau]

It is like people can’t make any difference now between right and wrong, lies and truths, reality and misinformation 😢

[NPC]

Hey Lara Trump do you think that people didn’t watch tv on January 6th? Really?

[billykravtin]

For Lara Trump to invoke the name of God in these matters shows you just how godless she is. It truly is sickening.

[RaulFields-sz]

Cheney and other 1/6 Committee members should sue or countersue for defamation of character and frivolous prosecution.

[donnadrake]

America you Voted for THIS!! Careful what you wish for!!!
You might just get it!
