Cheney and Kinzinger blast Trump's 2020 election remarks
CNN
Republican Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger blasted former President Donald Trump's recent comments related to the 2020 election as he teased a 2024 White House bid over the weekend.
Speaking at a campaign-style rally in Texas on Saturday, Trump said he would consider pardoning those who were charged in connection with the deadly January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol and, on Sunday, he released a statement saying he had wanted then-Vice President Mike Pence to overturn the presidential election.
"Trump uses language he knows caused the Jan 6 violence; suggests he'd pardon the Jan 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy; threatens prosecutors; and admits he was attempting to overturn the election," Cheney tweeted Monday. "He'd do it all again if given the chance."
