Liz Cheney Isn't Mad—She's Disappointed · The Republican from Wyoming is converting plenty of Democrats into fans, but it's the message she's giving Republicans ...

Thompson and Cheney have a sedate chemistry that appeals to moderate voters’ stubborn, quaint belief that the two parties should find a way to work together in the nation’s best interests. This conundrum has Cheney walking a fine line, portraying Trump’s supporters as deceived by the former president’s “scheme” to overturn the election and gullibly swallowing his fairy tale about his stolen victory, almost as if they were kids themselves—kids who have finally, unmistakably, landed in the principal’s office, waiting for Mom to show up. With one more hearing to go—and this one again in prime-time—it will be interesting to see if Cheney can continue to pull this off without the counterweight of the committee’s chairman, Bennie Thompson, who recently tested positive for COVID and won’t appear Thursday night. Her demeanor is exactly that of a mom who has been called out of her office in the middle of a work day because her teenage kid is in the principal’s office for pulling some idiotic, illegal, and dangerous prank. Hence the well-known “just not that woman” phenomenon of people who insist that they’d have no problem voting for a female candidate in a presidential election, and yet find a deal-breaking flaw in every single woman who runs. Somehow Cheney has managed to avoid tripping this wire, so much so that even some Democrats have said they’d like to see her run for national office, despite the fact that they disagree with her on every point of policy.

"Frankly, it's the type of person that we need in the White House." But you've got this overwhelming, massive majority of people in the center who believe that what she's doing is the right thing," Brown said. "The one thing they're doing is convincing people that Donald Trump should not be president again. Cheney, a three-term incumbent who has voted in line with Trump 92.9% of the time, polled just below the 70% mark. A recent poll for the Casper Star-Tribune put her support at 30%, vs. Her fate will become plain on Aug. 16, when deep red Wyoming holds a Republican primary election that will effectively choose the state's next member of the House of Representatives. Just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions and his own choices," Cheney said at a Jan. 6 committee hearing last week. "There is one path to victory.

They were among the administration officials who resigned in protest on January 6th.

That display of integrity in difficult circumstances is something that he and Cheney share, and it’s why the pair is perfectly suited for the solemn committee work before them. Which path provides the best shot for those voters having their policy demands heeded: Having a guaranteed member of their community in Congress, or ensuring that the only way to win the seat is to win the black vote? And while this in-fighting might not be good for the Democrats’ electoral prospects, this sort of deliberation is extremely healthy for liberal democracies. Some view Democrats’ inability to be as unified as the current iteration of the Republican party as a serious liability. Such is the cost of bucking the party in Republican politics, even when it is done in defense of democracy. It’s not a difference in scale but in kind.

Vice-chair of January 6 committee has played crucial role in denting support for the former US president.

She said in a New York Times interview the committee's purpose was to show "how unfit for office" Trump is.

"The forces that want to drag us over the edge are strong and fighting. The Jan. 6 committee on Thursday will walk through, in detail, former President Trump's reported inaction during the 187 minutes that a violent mob attacked the Capitol, aiming to show that he deliberately chose not to intervene. More details: Cheney said she sees parallels between former Vice President Mike Pence's evacuation from the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and the evacuation of her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, to an underground bunker on Sept. 11, 2001. Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said her work on the Jan. 6 committee is "the most important thing" she's done in her career, according to a new interview with the New York Times. What she's saying: "I believe this is the most important thing I’ve ever done professionally and maybe the most important thing I ever do," Cheney told the New York Times. - The goal of the committee and subsequent hearings, Cheney said, was to convince people "how dangerous [Trump] is and how unfit for office he is."

I’ll leave the final word, though, to Cheney, who as a direct consequence of her insistence on not shutting up about Trump and the tragedy of January 6th will likely lose her House seat in Wyoming’s Republican primary next month, before the House committee convenes again, in September. “We must remember that we cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation,” Cheney said. Of course, the hearing started out with a built-in problem: we already knew that Trump did not do a damn thing to stop the attack on January 6th, and that he had, in fact, incited and encouraged it. “The case against Donald Trump in these hearings is not made by witnesses who were his political enemies,” Cheney pointed out, but it came instead in the form of “confessions” by his own team. The committee brought two members of that team into the hearing room in person—Matthew Pottinger, Trump’s former deputy national-security adviser, and Sarah Matthews, his former White House deputy press secretary—to testify how they were so disgusted by the President’s refusal to take action on January 6th that they quit in protest that same afternoon. On Thursday night, the House select committee charged with investigating January 6th concluded a two-month run of blockbuster hearings with a searing, minute-by-minute account of what Trump did—and didn’t do—in the dining room that awful afternoon. It was also where Trump, on January 6, 2021, remained holed up for a hundred and eighty-seven minutes, as his followers stormed the U.S. Capitol until he finally, reluctantly, released a video urging them to go home and telling them he loved them.

“Every time I see it, it brings to mind the image of Jimmy Scott, the Secret Service agent who evacuated my dad down the steps,” Ms. Cheney said, referring to the man who ushered her father out of the West Wing and into an underground bunker as a hijacked airplane headed toward Washington on Sept. 11, 2001. He’s called Ms. Cheney “despicable” and hopes she is ousted in an upcoming congressional primary in Wyoming. “I look at it through the angle of: People need to understand how dangerous he is and how unfit for office he is,” Ms. Cheney said. Ms. Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, said she views Mr. Trump as an existential threat to America. She said former Vice President Mike Pence was in grave danger because the ex-president castigated Mr. Pence while his supporters stormed the Capitol. She is a staunch conservative but has become a liberal hero of sorts beginning with her vote to impeach Mr. Trump for inciting the riot and then for unleashing sharp critiques on Mr. Trump in the Jan. 6 hearings. “I believe this is the most important thing I’ve ever done professionally, and maybe the most important thing I ever do.”

The Wyoming Republican is winning over a lot of Democrats, but what may be most important is the message she is providing Republicans.

The views expressed here are that of the respective authors/ entities and do not represent the views of Economic Times (ET). ET does not guarantee, vouch for or endorse any of its contents nor is responsible for them in any manner whatsoever. She warned her fellow Republican officials that there would come one day when Trump could be gone, but their shame wouldn't. They continue to be enslaved by a cult of personality in the opening hearing on January 6. Thompsonand Cheney appeals to moderate voters' obstinate, old-fashioned idea that the two parties ought to find a way to cooperate for the country's good. Even if he shouldn't be permitted to act like one, he is a child, who has outgrown his stage. The question is whether that can lead to a revitalised political career. The problem is that Cheney's power is solely moral. Seeing a Republican candidate, who wants to hold her party to a higher standard, is incredibly heartening for non-Republicans. However, you can only be disappointed in someone if they can act better. When they don't anticipate getting what they want and lack the means to enforce their demands, people (especially women, many of whom are mothers) nag, they are irate because they are unable to persuade others to share their views on what is crucial and what needs to be done. She knows that he is fully aware of his terrible mistake and that major and unavoidable repercussions will follow. Cheney is not angry, and she is dissatisfied. Even if they disagree with Cheney on every significant point, some Democrats have indicated they'd want to see her run for president because she has somehow avoided tripping this wire. For many, their instincts indicate that they don't want to return to being ruled by a woman.

But there is also a notable group of Republican voters eager to move past Trump and his continued fight to overturn his 2020 election loss. But as primary day approaches, there is also a pervasive belief among Cheney’s team that her unorthodox strategy in 2022 may put her in a stronger position for the 2024 presidential contest. Still, few believe that an outspoken Trump critic could ultimately prevail in a Republican presidential primary. Left with few options, she has turned to Democrats for help. Many Cheney allies are prepared for — if not resigned to — a loss in Wyoming’s Aug. 16 Republican primary against Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman. They include term-limited Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Cheney’s only Republican colleague on the Jan. 6 commission, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., who opted not to seek reelection this fall. “I don’t know if she’s representing the conservative Americans that voted her in.”

Last year, the state Republican Party censured Cheney and voted to no longer recognize her as a Republican. Wyoming's congresswoman since 2016 is facing a Donald Trump-backed opponent, attorney Harriet Hageman, in the state's upcoming Republican primary. Cheney is facing backlash among Republicans in deep-red Wyoming for speaking out against Trump for trying to prevent President Joe Biden from taking office.

Cheney never lost sight of a fact the rest of her party couldn't comprehend: The hearings aren't about spanking Trump. They're about saving America.

Five people died on that day or in the immediate aftermath, and 140 police officers were assaulted. Congressional hearings: The House committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol has conducted a series of hearings to share its findings with the U.S. public. Here’s a guide to the biggest moments so far. What the majority of Republicans struggled to understand, Cheney never lost sight of: The hearings aren’t about spanking a former president. Back home in Wyoming, she has been trailing a Trump-backed candidate in her primary election and stands a fair shot of losing her seat. Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) was no less accomplished in his role as chair of the House select committee on the Jan. 6 attack. He, too, was as thorough and somber as the occasion required. The assignment was to create a thorough historical record. “There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain,” she had warned her fellow Republicans in the first hearing, with her trademark bluntness. It couldn’t change the past but it might ensure that all Americans vaguely understood the same version of it. She did not apologize to her fellow Republicans for her leading role in the hearings. She did not try to use her position as a campaign ad for her next election.

“Our committee understands the gravity of this moment, the consequences for our nation. “The political courage of women from both parties has been front and center in the January 6 Select Committee hearings,” Lydgate said in a statement. Jean Sinzdak, associate director of the Center for American Women and Politics, believes Cheney’s wardrobe was also aimed at sending a message, especially as she weighs her political future. “I think she’s trying to make the point that hearings have done things for democracy in our past,” she said. “I read them as really pitched toward, or oriented toward, the importance of voting and voters in a democratic system of government,” Olbertson said. She opposes abortion and celebrated the overturning of Roe v. During the panel’s first hearing, Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, who was tear-gassed and knocked unconscious on the steps of the Capitol, recalled that January 6 was a “war scene” with officers on the ground, throwing up and bleeding. Cheney, a Republican and the vice chair of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol, invoked history as she asked viewers to seek accountability for the actions of a former president who sought to overturn an election. Kristin Olbertson, an associate professor at Alma College in Michigan, said Cheney’s choice of language in highlighting the women witnesses was intentional, especially since she noted that some older men in Trump’s orbit pointed to executive privilege in refusing to fully testify. “She knew all along that she would be attacked by President Trump and by the 50-, 60- and 70-year-old men who hide themselves behind executive privilege. On Thursday night, Rep. Liz Cheney also wore white as she centered the role of women in defending democracy once again. Hutchinson described several instances that day where men decades her senior and with far more power called on her to help manage the president’s pronouncements and transport.
