Representative Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.) doubled down on her criticism of former President Donald Trump during a speech on the House floor Tuesday, one day before she will face a vote to oust her from her House Republican leadership role.
Cheney said the country is facing a “never seen before” threat in Trump, who she says “has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him.”
“Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” Cheney said. “I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy.”
