Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) warned in a fiery floor speech on the eve of her expected ouster from House GOP leadership that the decision by many in her party to enable former President Trump's falsehoods about his election loss risked undermining American democracy.
Cheney, who currently serves as chair of the House Republican Conference, made clear in her Tuesday night floor speech that she isn't backing down against the former president, despite the expected cost to her political ambitions in the House.
“Every one of us who has sworn the oath must act to prevent the unraveling of our democracy. This is not about policy. This is not about partisanship. This is about our duty as Americans," Cheney said.
"Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar," Cheney continued. "I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law, and joins the former president's crusade to undermine our democracy."
Cheney warned that the U.S. faces an unprecedented threat to its democratic process with Trump continuing to claim that President Biden was not legitimately elected.

What democrats are busy doing behind the scenes, they vigorously blame on their political opposition. It was Obama who demanded the Constitution be set aside and ignored, and Biden marches to Obamas orders. More lieing deceits to get away with destroying our Country from within and blame shift,as usual.

Well, the broad is right.
Our freedom can only survive if we defend it. That means kicking treasonous bitches like her out of seats of power.

Cool. At least she is 'out' about how much she hates and despises anyone or anything which is even slightly American.
Cheney is more a far-Left ideologue than Obama himself. She is farther Left than Karl Marx.
All she needs is a castle with a dungeon, a guillotine, and a torture chamber.
Then we could all call her 'Bloody Mary'. This is a person full of HATE.
She is driven by irrational HATE. I hope it consumes her,
which is the usual outcome of this kind of psychoses'.

Isn't it amazing how she sounds so much like our very own NeverTrumpers ? Annihilate America to save America, now who could be smart enough to see through that ?

Yes, President Trump's demands that elections be fair, honest and lawful is clear a threat to the Democracy. Notice the capitalization.
Requiring audits when the election is clearly a fraud, well, that could uncover voter fraud only if voter fraud happened. So Trump is clearly wrong is demanding that. Because everyone knows voter fraud happened. Especially the Never Trumpers.

You can stick your "democracy" where the sun doesn't shine Ms. Cheney!
