Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., remained defiant Tuesday just hours before Republicans are expected to remove her from House GOP leadership, warning that former President Donald Trump‘s continued attacks against the 2020 election threaten American democracy and risk inciting more violence.
Taking to the House floor in a near-empty chamber after several conservative colleagues railed against “cancel culture,” Cheney delivered a searing indictment of House GOP leaders seeking to expel her from their ranks after she voted to impeach Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, and her continued denunciations of the former president.
