"There is nothing more important she will ever do than lead the effort to make sure Donald Trump is never again near the Oval Office." Her rivals have attacked Cheney over her role as one of two Republicans on the January 6 panel, and have dismissed that probe's importance. I know it, he knows it and, deep down, I think most Republicans know it," Cheney says.

The ad came as polls show Cheney trailing her top Republican opponent, Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, by wide margins.

"Liz is fearless. Dick Cheney has been involved in these talks as well, CNBC previously reported. Cheney is Trump's biggest Republican critic in Congress and a leading member of the House select committee investigating him over the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

I know it, he knows it, and deep down, I think most Republicans know it." A real man wouldn't lie to his supporters," Cheney said.

There has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” the former vice president said in advocating for Rep.

“Lynne and I are so proud of Liz for standing up for the truth, doing what’s right, honoring her oath to the Constitution, as so many in our party are too scared to do so,” Dick Cheney said in the ad, referring to his wife. Trump’s targeting of Cheney grew more intense when she agreed to serve as the top Republican on the House Jan. 6 select committee, where she was the breakout star during a series of revealing hearings about the former president and his inner circle in the days leading up to the attack. Her father’s ad dropped less than two weeks before Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is set to face a tough challenge from a Trump-backed candidate, attorney Harriet Hageman, in her Aug. 16 primary. He lost his election, and he lost big. “In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Cheney said. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him.

The former vice president cut a last-minute campaign ad for his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), whose chances to beat a Trump-backed challenger in an ...

Cheney has already paid an immense political price for her vote to impeach Trump and choosing to be on the committee. Reps. Peter Meijer (Mich.) and Tom Rice (S.C.) lost their GOP primaries, while Rep. Dan Newhouse (Wash.) and Jaime Herrera Beutler (Wash.) are struggling in open primary races that have not yet been called. Only six of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump decided to run for reelection, and they haven't fared well. Unseating Cheney is one of the top priorities for Trump in the 2022 midterms, and his attacks appear to be connecting with voters. Dick Cheney has reportedly sounded off against Trump in the past year. Former Vice President Dick Cheney emerged from relative political seclusion Thursday to castigate former President Donald Trump as a "coward" and a "threat" to the country in a new campaign video for his daughter, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who faces tough odds to beat a Trump-backed challenger in her Republican primary later this month.

"The people of Wyoming fundamentally believe in the Constitution and faithfulness to it and our oath," Cheney said. Cheney's support in 2020 was strong with 68.6% of the vote in the general election and an even stronger turnout in the Republican primary with 73.5% of the vote there -- but the upcoming primary presents her first test to voters since taking on Trump. A vocal critic of Trump resisting a peaceful transfer of power, Cheney first drew Trump's ire when she became one of 10 Republicans to vote to impeach him for "incitement of insurrection" after the Jan. 6 attack. "Like many Wyomingites, I supported Liz Cheney when she ran for Congress," Hageman said when announcing her bid last September, the same day Trump endorsed her. "In our nation's 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our Republic than Donald Trump," the former vice president says. "He lost his election, and he lost big.

In new ad, Dick Cheney slams Trump as a liar and a 'coward' (MSNBC)

Dick Cheney's new ad: "In our nation's 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump."

(In 2004, with Cheney on the ballot, the Republican ticket carried Wyoming with 68.8 percent of the vote. First, it’s difficult to cheer Dick Cheney under any circumstances, especially as he accuses someone else of being a dangerous threat to democratic principles. In 2020, Trump’s GOP ticket won Wyoming with 69.9 percent of the vote.) Second, as a matter of political strategy, it was widely assumed that Liz Cheney would try to shift the focus in this race to her conservative record and support for conservative principles — and away from her fight against Trump and in support of democracy. And she will succeed.” I know it, he knows it, and deep down I think most Republicans know it.”

In a Casper Star-Tribune poll last month, she trailed her opponent, Harriet Hageman, by 22 percentage points. A real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters. But in Wyoming, where Mr. Trump won 69.9 percent of the vote in 2020 — more than in any other state — it is highly unlikely to sway any significant number of voters in Ms. Cheney’s favor.
