Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) condemned the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol and President Trump’s alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election when she accepted the prestigious John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Awards, warning the crowd of “a threat we have never faced before — a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic.”
In a speech as a recipient of the JFK award, Cheney highlighted the contrasts between past presidents who honored the “sacred obligation” of the transfer of power after an election loss to what happened on Jan. 6, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol in a bid to overturn certification of the 2020 election.
“This sacred obligation to defend the peaceful transfer of power has been honored by every American president except one,” Cheney said. “The question for every one of us is in this time of testing, will we do our duty, will we defend our constitution, will we stand for truth, will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics?
“Or will we look away from danger, ignore the threat, embrace the lies and enable the liar?” Cheney continued. “As we face a threat we have never faced before — a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic — at this moment we must all summon the courage to stand against that.” Read more at The Hill.
“a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic”
They just keep peddling the narrative. Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
Red tsunami coming.
She meant Obama
Liz looks different. She must of been coronavised already and this is the actress playing her part.
I’m no fan of Trump (to put it mildly) but overblowing what he and his supporters did by not believing the election results is a far greater danger than their refusal to accept the loss.
Cooler heads need to prevail. Unfortunately there are none on the passionate anti-Trump side either
We all know that 1/6 was not an insurrection, and President Trump had also told the people at his rally to be peaceful.
So this is just politics, meaning lies.
