Liz Cheney: Many GOP Lawmakers Have Privately Encouraged My Stand Against Trump
HuffPost
The Wyoming Republican said colleagues in her party have whispered support but won't come forward publicly.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said many Republican members of Congress have privately encouraged her for taking a stand against former President Donald Trump but won’t make those comments in public.
During an interview with Lesley Stahl on CBS’s “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday, Cheney said both House and Senate Republicans have quietly supported her. Cheney, a vocal critic of Trump’s 2020 election disinformation, was in May ousted from her leadership role in the GOP for supporting Trump’s impeachment after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
“Have members of Congress, Republicans, come up to you privately and whispered in your ear, ‘Way to go, Liz’ and encouraged you, but won’t come forward and say that publicly?” Stahl asked Cheney.
“No, this is not a, ‘Them’s the rules as usual’ kind of situation," said Harry Litman.
