Cheney: Republican Party Is At A Turning Point Posted by Scott Lucas | May 6, 2021 | Rep. Liz Cheney, under fire from Trumpists over her criticism of Donald Trump and his instigation of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, warns that the Republican Party is a turning point. Noting Trump’s latest disinformation about a “stolen election” last November, Cheney wrote in The Washington Post on Wednesday, “Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution.” I am a conservative Republican, and the most conservative of conservative values is reverence for the rule of law. Each of us swears an oath before God to uphold our Constitution. The electoral college has spoken. More than 60 state and federal courts, including multiple Trump-appointed judges, have rejected the former president’s arguments, and refused to overturn election results. That is the rule of law; that is our constitutional system for resolving claims of election fraud.
