Liz Cheney's Powerful Speech on the House Floor

"This is not about policy. This is not about partisanship. This is about our duty as Americans. Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar. I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence."

Powerful words from Representative Liz Cheney.

Your words don't change your actions.

I don’t 100% support Cheney but the fact that supporting democracy (or what democracy we have left) makes you non conservative is horrifying. We should make it easier to vote and take dark money out of politics and end gerrymandering. Not do the opposite.

[DLCaster]

I care not at all for her politics. Nevertheless, she is right about this.

[ndubuisiemuchay]

She struck the right notes. She reminded and educated all the so called conservatives who have become recalcitrant, arrogant and ignorant that truth is more honorable and enduring than loyalty to base or political party

[rgfxnet]

Aside from facts about the appartent flaws in the voting system. Can we talk about biased media, corporate control over politics and the elimination of a two party system. Then we can talk about democracy. Emotional music over empty words, am so moved.

[landreaublack]

Proud of you standing... even when you stand alone. Go Liz! 🙋‍♂️

[kennystringer]

Spare us the fucking heart string bullshit music in the background

[brianjensen]

i see trump's rise as a recognition that everything is corrupted. people were so desperate for someone who even just SEEMED like an outsider, that they elected a billionaire media personality because he cussed and repeated things that got applause.

[barnacles]

I started not caring once she called china communist

[Robbobshiskabob]

All I see from you is MY liberty going out the window and people like you let China walk though the door, you have not stood up for the constitution you took an oath on yourself Liz Cheney 🤷
