Rep. Liz Cheney drew battle lines in a speech Wednesday widely billed as an address on the state of the Republican Party.
Her remarks, delivered at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute in Simi Valley, California, addressed former President Donald Trump's grip on the GOP. Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the Jan. 6 committee, told members of her party they have to make a choice as she tied Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election results to the Capitol riot.
"The reality that we face today as Republicans, as we think about the choice in front of us — we have to choose because Republicans cannot both be loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution," Cheney said to applause.Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is one of five Republicans who broke with the vast majority of their party to support Trump’s impeachment and now face uncertain futures in Congress ahead of this November's midterm elections.
"Her superiors, men many years older, a number of them are hiding behind executive privilege, anonymity, and intimidation," Liz Cheney said."But her bravery and patriotism were awesome to behold. Little girls all across this great nation are seeing what it really means to love this country and what it really means to be a patriot."
