House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-WY) on Wednesday defended her decision to vote in favor of impeaching President Donald Trump, telling colleagues in a closed-door meeting, “I won’t apologize for the vote.”
Cheney delivered an eight-minute speech near the beginning of the Wednesday meeting, two people in the room said, offering what was described as a calm yet firm defense of the Constitution. She did not apologize during her remarks.
Cheney also told members that she wanted a vote to be called on her leadership status, which was interpreted by some in the room as an act of confidence in her standing with a broader cross-section of Republicans, the majority of which did not air their grievances toward her.
