'At this moment, we are confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before and that is a former president who is attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic,' Cheney said during her address
Congresswoman Liz Cheney, the vice chair and one of two Republicans on the House Jan. 6 committee, spoke at the Reagan Library Wednesday about the risk of losing the foundations of democracy. Cheney urged fellow Republicans to face what she said is a threat to their party and democracy itself — former President Donald Trump.
As vice chair of the Jan. 6 select committee, Rep. Cheney has overseen damning testimony from a slew of witnesses who not only claim the former president incited the insurrection, but also his alleged scheme to hold onto power and overturn the election. "It's undeniable. It's also painful for Republicans to accept and I think we all have to recognize and understand what it means to say those words and what it means that those things happened," Cheney said.
"It's significant that she's speaking at the Regan Library because she represents from a policy perspective Reagan Republicanism, strong on defense, conservative on economics," Professor of Politics at Claremont McKenna College Jack Pitney told CBSLA."She stands apart from the Trump wing of the Republican Party in her fidelity to the Constitution.
