Every Republican should be required to read Liz Cheney's opening statement
CNN
Rep. Liz Cheney has risked her entire career on her belief that what happened on January 6 at the US Capitol was Donald Trump's doing -- and needs to be investigated in a fulsome (and nonpartisan) manner in order to protect American democracy.
The Wyoming Republican's stance on the 1/6 insurrection has cost her a leadership position within the House and badly endangered her chances of winning reelection next year, with Trump and forces loyal to him targeting her. It's a path that almost no other politician in America today has taken. It's a principled stand, and it's beyond politics. (The best thing for Cheney, politically speaking, would be to sit silently or even endorse the "Big Lie" that the 2020 election was stolen.)More Related News
