Cheney stands by her vote to impeach Trump despite GOP pressure
US House Rep. Liz Cheney, a Republican, is standing by her vote to impeach former President Donald Trump despite pressure from the GOP to backtrack on her stance
The Wyoming Republican appeared on Fox News Sunday to respond to a vote against her in her state’s GOP party a day earlier.
“I think people all across Wyoming understand and recognize that our duty is to the Constitution,” she said. “The oath that I took to the Constitution compelled me to vote for impeachment and it doesn’t bend to partisanship, it doesn’t bend to political pressure… It’s the most important oath that we take and so I will stand by that and I will continue to fight for all of the issues that matter so much to us all across Wyoming.”
The daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney asserted that “people have been lied to,” censuring the former president for inciting a deadly breach of US Capitol on Jan. 6.
"We should not be embracing the former president,” she noted.
Cheney is among the few Republicans who have refused to accept Trump’s allegations of election theft in the 2020 presidential election.
“We need to make sure that we as Republicans are the party of truth, that we are being honest about what really did happen in 2020 so we actually have a chance to win in 2022 and win the White House back in 2024,” she said.
The Wyoming Republican Party voted on Saturday to censure the congresswoman and other Republicans who joined House Democrats last month in voting to impeach Trump.
