Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the No. 3 House Republican, announced on Tuesday she will vote to impeach President Donald Trump for his role in inciting the riots at the Capitol last week.
Cheney said in a statement that Trump “summoned” the mob that attacked the Capitol last week, “assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing.”
She asserted that Trump could have immediately intervened to stop his supporters, but he did not.

“There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution,” Cheney said in a statement announcing her decision, according to Politico.

Earlier on Tuesday, New York Rep. John Katko became the first Republican to say he would vote to impeach Trump.
“It cannot be ignored that President Trump encouraged this insurrection – both on social media ahead of January 6th, and in his speech that day,” Katko said in a statement.
“By deliberately promoting baseless theories suggesting the election was somehow stolen, the president created a combustible environment of misinformation, disenfranchisement, and division. When this manifested in violent acts on January 6th, he refused to promptly and forcefully call it off, putting countless lives in danger,” he added.
House Democrats filed one article of impeachment against Trump on Monday, over his role in encouraging last Wednesday’s violence, though Rep. Alex Mooney (R-W-V) blocked Democrats from introducing a resolution via unanimous consent to call on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump.

the lack of a spine or testicles in this case is sickening.
the rino party is a joke at best they love being LOSERS they will not fight for those who
elected them and they have no loyalty to party or constituents or country.
liz cheney is a turncoat traitor like the rest.
I wonder if she has showed everyone her brand new Communist membership card.
THe good folks of west virgina, need to RECALL HER NOW..
Actually, she represents the people of Wyoming.
DOH.. Thought that was Wva.. when it was Wy..
LIZ WILL FIZZ COME 22
Coward. The definition of rino establishment that SHOULD be voted out.
The deep state Republican In Name Only, Liz Cheney. Another traitor to our electoral system. A traitor to the Conservative voters, who want their votes to count.
Did these idiots actually change the “R” after their name with a “D”? They really don’t think they will be elected under the Republican brand ever again do they… or is it they think after they help Harris and her dimwitted sidekick get sworn in there will just be one communist party and they’ll be one of the elites?… “There’s a gun behind every blade of grass”
They changed the (R) to a (C) ……… Crackpot that is, fool of the day. They apparently don’t have the sense God gave a goose. Another “entitled” swamp dweller. I guess she forgot the Dems wanted to try her father and Bush as war criminals. Stupid is as stupid does. Wyoming deserves better.
More like to S.. SPINELESS.
Her father who had to learn the hard way, should have taught her to select the proper target to shoot, when on the hunt for birdbrains, not your friends and supporters. Another family dynamic run amok. This one needs no longer to be invited to the hunt as has not passed the safety course of weaponized politics. As you shoot blindly into the valley, so the buckshot returns.
So just how does someone elected in 2016 running on American strength rise to the 3rd most powerful in the party in 4 short years?,,,,,,,,On the coatails of a strong President of results and success who now she seeks to cut off at the waist. Igrate is the word that comes to mind, or maybe daddy’s establishment stringed precious puppet.
She just shot herself in the foot. I hope she loses the next election before she does more damage to the country and the Republican Party.
Right now, i don’t think there’s ANYTHING LEFT of the GOP to do damage to… ITS ALL SUNK.
Didn’t expect anything different from Cheney. Her hatred for Trump is almost as bad as Pelosi. They know good and well Trump did not initiate the attack, giving him guilt by association is pathetic.
Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone.
Lets keep Pelosi out of this.
Looks and acts more like Lon Chaney in “Phantom of the Opera” or Lizzy Bordon who took and Axe,,, and gave President Trump 40 whacks.
More like, Ugliness goes all the way to the SOUL! If these rinos and communists even have one, that is.
She just let loose a stinker in the elevator and closed the door.
What a big disappointment, I would never expect it from a Chaney!
I am not surprised at all with Liz Cheney!
Expect anything from a rat.
This is exactly what i expect, from a cheney.. HER FATHER was just as much of a rino as she is.
Don’t judge a parent by a kid’s actions. It used to be the other way around, but no more and besides because of her Wyoming is now ready to leave the union and then she can go over to one of the enemy states.
All these RINOS begged and pleaded with the President for his support or their election or re-election, to which for the most part, he graciously did. Now that his re-election was stolen by certain states with their fraudulent voting systems, and he appears down and out, they are showing their TRUE colors by joining the Marxist Communist DemocRATS in their Condemnation of President Donald J Trump. If these Communists haven’t already “Fixed” future elections, actual Conservative Republicans should NEVER FORGET these VILE RINOS and insure their defeat in 2022 and 2024.
I wonder, how much trump regrets, EVER SUPPORTING ANY of these hacks?
Probably as much as I regret ever voting for them: from the wimp Mitt Romney to the latest, Kelly Loeffler. I’m done with republicans!
Me too.. AND I EVEN DONATED to loeffler.. WISH I COULD DEMAND a refund.
Homework On Dick Cheney reveals much about a man? you may have come to think he was on the side of the right. WRONG!! Daughter Liz is sticking up for criminality. Perhaps she may be wearing an orange jumpsuit?
Another RINO to primary.
Good luck with that. You’d stand a better chance to get pigs to fly, than you are to find any true conservative, that would ever stand a chance of defeating ANY OF THESE rinos or comminists, in an election anymore… ESPECIALLY NOT when the leftists, know EXACTLY HOW easily it is to steal them, and get COVERED FOR by the entire media and judicial establishments..
The RINO faction of the GOP, like the democrat party, has no clue what true conservatives want from their government. Cheney will be primaried in 2022 by a Conservative. Even if she wins the primary, she will lose a large segment of conservative voters in the general. People will not forget who joined the democrats in the sickening attacks against President Trump.
Regardless, the socialists will have all the states’ elections rigged by 2022. Maybe then these RINO’s will wake up.
Joe i hope you are right…Because the way it is looking the Republican Party without President Trump is just the party of back stabbing losers!
There are a handful of good republican politicians in the the House and less in the senate but not enough to change it …And we cannot forget what we the people want does not matter!
That is why i feel, NO conservative ever again, will win ANY VOTE anywhere.. There’s just TOO MUCH arrayed against us, from the media, to the election fraud, to the SHEER # of rino traitors, we need to get rid of…
YOU SNOOZE YOU LOSE. And they’re good at that.
She is a ventriloquist from how I see her when she talks. Always out the side of her mouth. Must be Muslim at heart.
Are we certain that Liz Cheney isn’t a spawn of John McCain?????? Sure sounds like it!
The old guard of Republicans is destroying itself! They balked at Donald Trump from the very beginning but he was the one person in many years who actually caught the real essence of the ordinary Republican voter. For too long the ‘elite’ leaders foisted uninspiring candidates who lost upon us. Now the RINOs have given into the mob with their go along, get along, caving thereby losing the trust of those who voted them into office and expected them to uphold Republican principles!
They stood and stand for nothing. They couldn’t stand tp actually win an election and to do something to benefit and help all Americans instead of their own globalist reputation and views.
Which is why i keep saying, i HIGHLY DOUBT a single one of us Trump supporters, will do ANYTHING to vote A SINGLE ONE Of these scumbags, into office.. AND I mean EVERYONE of them..
Lizzy has not figured out yet, she and the gop committed suicide on Jan 6th 2021, her daddy was part of the swamp, apparently she is to. She was on the list of traitors who refused to look into fraud, she and many more have failed to understand, this long ago stopped being about Trump/biden, this is about fair, open, and transparent elections, there are a minimum of 80 Million people who are “disenfranchised voters” that is a serious issue that will not go away. The stomping down of first amendment rights by big social media and leftist lap dog media, the gag, they are putting on conservative and ANY opinion other than the corrupt leftist narrative, is backfiring, more and more people are starting to wake up, they have gone too far. Think about it, when socialist/communist nations and the far left ACLU think things have gone too far, that should tell you something.
Right now, i am wondering, WHO in the GOP, was NOT PART of that swamp???
Oh Yeah. They went too far along time ago. What’s the first thing you do in a coup? You storm and secure the radio and TV stations and all avenues of communication and thought. The left-wing fascists have controlled the media talking points, entertainment and education for at least 40 years. Now they also have the power to rig national elections and unlimited uncontrolled censorship. We are the USSA.
Which do you think will be the Republican punching bag candidate in 2024, Jeb Bush or Mittens for the entertainment of the CPUSA and State Media?? Nauseates me whenever it pops up in my head – I’m considering therapy to help make it go away.
You may have it, there will not be more than a half dozen left in the party after party suicide.
Why do you think, i said the other day, i am REMOVING MY SELF from the voter rolls.. THERE IS NO ONE LEFT in the GOP worth voting for, and any ‘third party’ candidate we get, WON’T even imo, break into double digits of the vote %…. THE ENTIRE establishment is working against us.
Hey Liz, what was his role….where is your information coming from? Why was a BLM activist inside the Capital in close proximity to Azhli?, why was he interviewed about her death….while I don’t think he was complicit in her death, just the fact that he was there makes me wonder how many of BLM and the nuevo fascist were inside the Capital when supposedly the “mob” was called white supremist? The insanity of the impeachment is scary, in fact, I think it is all Nancy’s attempt to make us forget Hunter Biden’s corruption and also Swallwell’s sleeping with a Chinese spy. Best way to ignore something one of hers doing despicable and slimy things is to attack Trump.
I lie told once is a lie, a lie repeated becomes the truth. Goebels
Do these political elites really believe that we have no brains, no eyes, no sense of what happened in this election? Do they really believe we are so stupid that we can SEE results from voting machine tests where equal numbers of ballots for each candidate are entered and the results come out 113%/87%? Do they really believe that when we see huge rolling cases of ballots pulled out from under a table after the official watchers are gone we don’t know what is happening? Do they really think we are so stupid that we believe that Biden received more votes than Obama and that more people voted than were in the precinct?
Do they really believe that we can’t see how the barricades were moved prior to Trump’s speech ending and people were being waved in?
There were problems with the election. Trump DIDN’T incite anything. If anything his speech encouraged people to stay the course and use their voices to show their displeasure not violence. Sick of the press and the political elites telling us lies and expecting us to be stupid enough to believe them.
YES< they really do believe we are that dumb..
Yes, they do think we are that stupid. Regardless, as long as the votes are rigged it really doesn’t matter what we say, think, do or believe.
That’s a damn good point. SINCE THEY now know, for a CERTAINTY, that their fraud machine works, the media won’t say anything, and the COURTS will rule in their favor day in and day out, THEY DO NOT NEED TO worry what we the ‘people’ think or feel’ anymore.
They are still upset because Trump took away Jeb’s turn to finish out the dynasty.
By deliberately promoting baseless theories suggesting the election was somehow stolen, the president created a combustible environment of misinformation, disenfranchisement, and division.
When they steal her seat away from her, I will applaud and wave goodbye.
They won’t have to steal it. She’s toast unless the Democrats decide to vote for her. Who knows maybe they will. NOT
She can go take a long walk off a short pier..
Liz Cheney is about to do to Trump what the Left did to her father. One would think she would know better. She will gain nothing from this vote. The Left will likely turn around and slime her too.
Dick Cheney was not Darth Vader and neither is Trump. She is about to perpetrate the evil of the Left.
Isn’t it amazing? When they have an opportunity to cancel a president who actually got stuff done and threatens the existence/reputations of the swamp dwellers, they can get something done with a one week turnaround. Ask the DACA recipients how long they’ve been waiting (10 years) and NEITHER side is willing to fix that situation. They’re all do nothing posers sucking up tax payer dollars and accomplishing nothing but posturing for the tv cameras. Bet Liz thinks she might like to run in 2024 and knows she can’t stand up to Trump. She is disgusting.
THe only fix that needs to happen to DACA, is the immediate DEPORTATION of everyone illegally in this nation.. PERIOD.
Lets face it. Trump was too open and honest for Washington D.C. That’s really why they hate him. He scares the Bejesus out of all them there liars. Too bad McConnell and Graham just got reelected with Trumps help and support. You notice they waited until after the election to throw him under the bus.
I am wondering, IF TRUMP knew, just how bullish all those traitors would be, to him, in 2018, when he was PLANNING HIS next moves, to win re-election, WOULD HE HAVE STILL fought so hard, FOR THEM to win re-election themselves?? OR would he have told them all “SORRY, you are on your own!”
I have news for Liz. Once she helps the Democrats impeach the president she will be declared guilty by association. The Democrats are evil people. If Cheney and others pushed for an investigation of the events relating to the storming of the Capitol they might find this whole thing was a setup. It is time for us as Republicans to send people to Washington with a spine.
We absolutely need to get rid of this RINO. I wish Cruz would lay into her and call it like it is. Hasn’t she looked into the truth of the matter? Probably getting all her info from MSM like the rest of the democrats.
We’re making a list and checking it twice. We’re going to find out who is naught or nice. All RINOs had better get out of town. If this is the best the Republicans can do, let the Democrats have their seat in congress. They have already shown us whos side they are on. Its not the side of the American people who vote for Republicans hoping they will stand united against Democrat power grabs. Or they keep hoping something will change in Washington.
