Liz Cheney Slams Trump’s Inaugural Speech After Biden Hands Her Preemptive PardonOlivia Rondeau 20 Jan 2025
Former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) slammed freshly sworn-in President Donald Trump’s remarks from his inauguration ceremony, calling him a “liar” for calling out the House Select Committee on January 6 and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D), right after she received a preemptive pardon from outgoing President Joe Biden.
During his speech in front of dignitaries and family members in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol, Trump lamented how he offered Pelosi “10,000 soldiers” to mitigate the risk of unrest on January 6, 2021, “but she rebuffed them”:
“… There were a lot of make-believe stories made up. So rather than suffer the wrath, like the story with Nancy Pelosi, I offered her 10,000 soldiers. She knows it,” said Trump. “She admitted it on tape that her daughter made … But Nancy said, ‘it was my responsibility’ as she’s leaving the Capitol. She said it was, and it was. She’s in charge of security at the Capitol.”
“Think of it, 10,000 soldiers. In other words, J6 wouldn’t be J6. There would have been no J6,” the president continued. “But she rebuffed them. She didn’t like it. No, she didn’t like it.”
Trump went on to speculate that maybe Pelosi “wanted that to happen,” and claimed that the select committee, led by Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MO), “destroyed all evidence.”
“Maybe she wanted that to happen. But she’s guilty as hell. And now we would have to go through the process because they destroyed all evidence. They deleted everything. There’s virtually nothing left,” he stated.
