News: Jan. 6 committee hearing
AUSTIN, Texas (77WABC) — Outgoing Wyoming GOP Rep. Liz Cheney has vowed to do “whatever it takes” to stop former president Donald Trump from becoming a Republican presidential nominee.
Cheney is leading the House investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. She argues that voters must be aware of the power some Republicans — who continue to make unfounded and false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump — have in the Republican party.
“I think it’s really important though, as voters are going to vote, that they recognize and understand what the Republican Conference consists of in the today, and how much power the election deniers, the people like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert and Jim Jordan, how much power those people will have in a Republican majority,” Cheney said at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin. “Partisanship has to have a limit. There’s got to be an end.”
Cheney lost a Republican primary to a challenger backed by Trump in Wyoming last month. She also said she would campaign for the Democrats if necessary if it meant that Trump would not become president again.
