Axios Reports: Trump Is at “War With the Rule of Law and the Constitution,” According to Liz Cheney

From this:

In a fiery speech on Tuesday, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) called on the Republican Party to reject former President Trump’s lies and return to an identity rooted in “fidelity to the Constitution … [and] the rule of law.”

Why it matters: The GOP has struggled to determine its direction as a party, and how much it should lean into Trumpism. Cheney, who sits on the House Jan. 6 select panel, is one of Trump’s most vocal critics.

What she’s saying: The U.S. is “confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before; a former president who’s attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic,” Cheney said in an address at a New Hampshire free speech event.

If there is hope for this nation, it depends at least partly on Republicans who, like Liz Cheney, have retained their integrity from this ordeal and are acting so as to preserve American democracy while it’s so directly and clearly under attack.
