Liz Cheney strikes defiant tone in floor speech on eve of her expected ousting from House GOP leadership

The Wyoming Republican struck a defiant tone on Tuesday evening ahead of the vote, which is all but assured to end in her removal as GOP conference chair after her continued criticisms of Trump. She declared that she would not join with other leaders who ignore Trump's lies, emboldening him and threatening democracy."We must speak the truth. Our election was not stolen. And America has not failed," Cheney said.

Voters in Elise Stefanik's district have mixed reactions to her embrace of Trump and rise in the GOP"It's not about right or wrong, it's about the focus of our conference, and focusing on pushing back on the agenda that's being pushed by the Biden administration," Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 2 House Republican, said Tuesday.

Liz Cheney, new head of the New Republican Party 2.0 (non-Trump)

CNN feeds drama, I guess gone are the days of non biased commentary!

Stand up and fight for what is right Ms Chaineyn

Might be time to switch parties Liz

The only Republican with the Balls to stand up for the truth!!!

Liz is lying and is bought off by Democrats!!

Cheney stood up for the country’s democracy’s well being and to be removed by a bunch of GOP senators whose only interest is to keep their jobs not the good of Americans. Bankrupt.

Thank you again, Twitter! For moving my comments to the bottom!

Please! Remove her from her position! She is a Democrat in Republican clothing. A true wolf. She is the liar.

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

Liz Cheney a woman of substance Backbone Integrity Honesty Rest of GOP are a lot of spineless cowards. It is so sad that a person without morals is chosen over Liz Cheney.

She’s a jealous girl

What about the big lies CNN spread regarding the russian hoax. Why haven't they apologised to POTUS45

My goodness. How articulate and brilliant was Ms. Cheney last night. Oh and also how principled is she to stand up and say enough is enough regarding the election. I can’t believe that Republicans allow Trump to remain in the background. He is just toxic.

Finally a republican we can respect !

What had she said about Gaza?

It’s funny the GOP talks about cancel culture. Liz Cheney is a patriot who is being ousted because she won’t tow the false, blatant narrative from the GOP that the election was stolen and rigged, with no evidence being found to support it. She’s putting country first.

Though I don't believe I would agree with her on any policy issues, kudos to her for standing up for the truth. She has the conviction the rest of the traitorous repugnants don't.

LISTEN LISTEN LIKE YOU NEVER BEFORE To what Liz Cheney 👍👍👍said Because if you don’t USA 🇺🇸 will be DOOMED.. TRUMP AND HIS THUGS WILL KILL USA for good ! Seriously !

應該永久禁止川普參選，因為他是個瘋子

Stand strong against our Repub. counterparts. No longer the party of Reagan. Have lost their way, fallen down a rabbit hole and morphed into something sinister. No matter how they follow Trump, upend voting, raise money they won't regain power.

Liz has been bitter ever since that house landed on her sister.

Good for her, standing up to the truth...

Hollywood Predicted 9/11 attacks as an inside job Bush & Cheney involved 5:05 Operation 15:18 Northwoods 2.0 of 9-11 attacks 24:23 to justify 15:10 the global wars.

We must all stay behind this republican. Just because she voted to impeach the crook

Occupying Israel is hitting civilians in Palestine by ignoring human rights. The world should not be silent on this. Israel is committing genocide in Palestine. Why are human rights defenders silent to this? Is it because they are Muslim? Humanity has no religion! Gazza

Liz Cheney condemns Trump's ' big lie ' even as she faces GOP scorn.

Cheney has no place in leadership now. Stefanik will be a good fit in that role. I used to go to school with Elise at Harvard. She always greeted the day with a smile. She was smart, talented, and principled. And the best damn bootlicker I've ever seen. Perfect for this GOP

...and the cowardly little republiQans refused to even listen to her acknowledging reality

The GOP is so lost. And if they ever regain any form of power so is the US…

What kind of shithole political party ousts Liz Cheney but keeps Matt Gaetz

Liz Cheney is the new Mitt Romney

she's a warrior

I am with you RepLizCheney Liz_Cheney. Thank you for standing up for truth and democracy.

Hey Liz ready to leave your party yet

Defiant? Nah, righteous!

She's on Democrats payroll

We support you .you know the wrong and the lies trump is spreading and the GOP believing in.fight for truth and be that wedge in that party

Good for you! He's an azzhole plus like Ted 'head up Trump's azz' Cruz!

'The Truth Will Set You Free' has a whole new meaning to the GOP.

IStandWithLiz

You don’t get points for acknowledging the truth

MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN MOTHERFUCKER!!!

Remembering the other Cheney, this is a long play to diminish Trump, McCarthy, and other Trump-siding Republicans in order to gain power and influence over the Republican/Conservative power structure. This is the civil war within the GOP that was anticipated.

RepLizCheney for President

The only GOP Rep prepared to speak truth to power

I expect Liz Cheney will play the role quite well of the proverbial crazy auntie locked up in the attic. NeoCon Irrelevance

These RINOs are a busted flush

Such a liar , stock market already told you if the election was stolen or not !

Liz Cheney says Trump and GOP backers threaten democracyA combative Rep. Liz Cheney lashed out at leaders of her own Republican Party late Tuesday, accusing former President Donald Trump and his GOP supporters of following a path that would “undermine our democracy.” On the eve of a closed-door meeting when House Republicans seem certain to oust her from a leadership post because of her clashes with the former president, Cheney, R-Wyo., took to the House floor to state her case. '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 said. Oh please, go away already. Stop trying to make Loony Liz happen. She’s boring. Cheney is the only impressive aspect in the GOP in the last 50 yrs. And that's pathetic.

Rep. Liz Cheney addresses push to purge her from GOP leadershipLiz Cheney on the House floor: 'We face a threat America has never seen before: A former president who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him.' The Republicans have decided that lying is the only way they can win and those that dare tell the truth must be pushed out. This speech will be replayed for years. Hold your ground! Thank you for speaking the truth! You are right-reps and senators know it is a lie and none have the guts to speak truth. Karma!
