The vice-chair and one of the two Republicans on the House Jan. 6 committee, Congresswoman Liz Cheney, talked about the danger of losing democracy’s fundamentals on Wednesday at the Reagan Library.
The lawmaker warned the gathered people, “Our freedom can only endure if we safeguard it.
Cheney urged her fellow Republicans to confront former President Donald Trump, whom she claimed posed a threat to both their party and democracy.
A past president who is working to undermine the underpinnings of our constitutional system poses a domestic threat that we have never previously faced, according to Cheney. And he has the support of Republican elected officials and leaders, who have become willing captives to this crazy and deadly guy.
Cheney continued by giving a blunt evaluation of Trump’s actions on January 6.
The actions Donald Trump directed and participated in, she continued, “have proven evidence to be far more terrifying and dangerous than we could have anticipated.”
Rep. Cheney, who served as vice head of the select committee on January 6, presided over the damaging testimony of several witnesses who not only said the former president incited the uprising but also detailed his alleged plan to maintain power and rig the election.
Incredibly compelling evidence from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson on Tuesday may have significantly increased the legal risk to the former president.
“It can’t be denied. Republicans find it difficult to accept it as well, but I believe we all need to acknowledge and comprehend what it means to say those things and what it means that they occurred “Cheney declared.
She is the daughter of GOP political hero and ardent conservative Dick Cheney, but taking on the former president could be the end of her political career.
According to Jack Pitney, professor of politics at Claremont McKenna College, “it’s noteworthy that she’s speaking in the Regan Library because she represents, from a policy perspective, Reagan Republicanism, strong on military, and conservative on economics.” “She distinguishes herself from the Republican Party’s pro-Trump faction by adhering to the Constitution. She takes her oath of office seriously, which sets her apart from almost all of the House of Representatives Republicans.”
As she challenged her fellow conservatives to forge a future without Trump, Rep. Cheney evoked former President Ronald Reagan.
Ronald Reagan once said that it was up to us to make a good decision between the difficult but necessary mission of maintaining peace and freedom and the temptation to forego our responsibility and naively hope for the best as the enemies of freedom get more powerful every day, according to Cheney.

She went on to say that the actions that Donald Trump oversaw and took part in “have proven to be evidently far more terrible and dangerous than we could have predicted.”
The congresswoman also gave some encouraging remarks, noting that even though many Americans can hold divergent political views, there is always common ground to be found if an effort is made to look for it.
