Liz Cheney Shuts Down Trump's 'Malicious Lies' With Blunt Jan. 6 Reminder
HuffPost
"Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can't change the truth and you cannot silence us," wrote the former congresswoman.
Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) checked Donald Trump over his latest string of “malicious lies” on Friday after the president-elect continued his push to rewrite history on the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol just days before the 4th anniversary of the attack.
“Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us,” Cheney wrote in a social media post.
Her remarks come after the president-elect’s Truth Social outburst over President Joe Biden honoring both her and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) — who helped lead the House committee that investigated the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 attack — with the Presidential Citizens Medal.
She responded to Trump by reminding him of his 2020 election lies and his failed coup attempt before leaving office.
“Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember,” Cheney wrote.
