Liz Cheney Tries to Shame Conservatives with Overplayed Jan. 6 Video, Then Mike Lee Asks the One Question She’s Terrified to Answer
If Liz Cheney is as conservative or Republican as she claims, she sure has a funny way of showing it.
The embattled ex-representative has become something of a persona non grata within the GOP thanks to her incessant belittling of her own party.
(She was never going to be embraced by Democrats en masse due to both the “R” and the last name it’s next to.)
The latest, and most exhausting, example of Cheney’s continued descent into being a woman without a political party came on Friday, when the former vice chair of the January 6 Committee couldn’t help but comment about the bombshell video dump spearheaded by the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson.
And in classic Cheney fashion, she did it with some snide subtext:
WARNING: The following clip contains imagery that some viewers may find disturbing
Here’s some January 6th video for you.

“Here’s some January 6th video for you,” Cheney said in her X post, with the remark clearly suggesting that Johnson’s bombshell revelation was more whimper than a bang.
Many conservatives and Republicans (and people who don’t just blindly drink the Democrat Kool-Aid) have often discussed the non-zero chance that something strange or amiss about the entire January 6 Capitol incursion. The prevailing theory is that the incursion was largely sparked and instigated by federal agent plants.
Given how little transparency was offered from Cheney and her Jan. 6 Committee cohorts, it’s little surprise that there was vested interest in this new video dump.
Cheney’s not-so-subtle jab at people who care about Jan. 6 transparency did not go unnoticed, as Utah Sen. Mike Lee swiftly slammed Cheney on X.
“Liz, we’ve seen footage like that a million times,” Lee posted. “You made sure we saw that — and nothing else. It’s the other stuff — what you deliberately hid from us — that we find so upsetting. Nice try.
“P.S. How many of these guys are feds? (As if you’d ever tell us).”
Cheney, to her minimal credit, is not one to back down from a verbal altercation and responded to Lee.
Hey @BasedMikeLee – heads up. A nutball conspiracy theorist appears to be posting from your account. https://t.co/N26lfzPZPU

“Hey @BasedMikeLee – heads up,” Cheney said in her response post. “A nutball conspiracy theorist appears to be posting from your account.”
Lee, looking for the proverbial knockout shot, responded to Cheney’s denigrating post with a simple question that he knew she couldn’t answer:
Shouldn’t the J6 committee have been demanding answers to this question?https://t.co/g6g2mm7zLV https://t.co/IQC10Saf1z

“Shouldn’t the J6 committee have been demanding answers to this question?” Lee posted, linking to an exclusive from the New York Post that cited an ex-official who claimed that the “FBI lost count of how many paid informants” were at the Capitol on Jan. 6, and required an “audit” to get the final tally.
Look, if you want to argue that this line of questioning is “conspiratorial” or something only “nutballs” would indulge — fine, have at it.
That doesn’t change the fact that Lee’s question — the very same one so many Americans have — remains unanswered.
A Note from Our Staff:
Did you know that 90 percent of advertisers will have nothing to do with The Western Journal? The liberal elites have put us on one of their financial kill lists.
They did it because we’ve told the truth and spoken out against them for over a decade. And since they couldn’t shut us up, now, they’re trying to starve us out.
We’re turning to you because, frankly, we have to have your help. It might not sound like much, but just one membership to The Western Journal can make a real difference.
We don’t have a huge staff, big salaries, or deep donor pockets. We’re family-owned and independent. But because we’re independent from the elites, we have to rely on readers like you.
Can we count on you for just a single membership? The cost of a month-long membership is less than a single cup of Starbucks coffee. And, unlike with Starbucks, you can be 100 percent certain that every penny we spend goes toward fighting for traditional American values and against liberal elites.
Please help us continue exposing the truth. Please join today.
Thank you for reading The Western Journal!

How do Liz Cheney’s actions and words contradict conservative values such as truth, transparency, and the rule of law?
People it is watching” in the lead-up to the January 6th Capitol riot.
In this exchange, Cheney’s true colors are on full display. She is not interested in seeking the truth or uncovering the full story of what happened on January 6th. Instead, she seems more focused on belittling her fellow Republicans and engaging in petty Twitter wars.
This is not the behavior of someone who claims to be a conservative or Republican. Conservatives value truth, transparency, and the rule of law. Republicans believe in the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and the Constitution. Cheney’s actions and words do not align with these values.
Furthermore, her constant attacks on her own party only serve to divide and weaken the Republican base. At a time when conservatives should be united in opposing the radical agenda of the Democrats, Cheney is busy tearing down her own side.
Cheney’s focus on January 6th is also misguided. While it is important to investigate any wrongdoing and hold those responsible accountable, obsessing over one event detracts from the larger issues facing our nation. There are pressing concerns such as the economy, national security, and the erosion of our constitutional rights that deserve attention and action.
It is clear that Cheney has chosen a path of self-aggrandizement and self-righteousness, rather than serving the best interests of her constituents or the Republican Party. Instead of working to advance conservative principles and policies, she seems more interested in gaining personal fame and notoriety.
As conservatives and Republicans, we must hold our elected officials accountable. We should demand leaders who are committed to the values and principles that we hold dear. Liz Cheney has shown by her actions that she is not such a leader.
It is time for conservatives and Republicans to move forward and find leaders who will truly represent our values and fight for our principles. Liz Cheney may claim to be conservative and Republican, but her actions speak louder than her words.
Let us not be distracted by the antics of Liz Cheney. Instead, let us focus on the future and the battles that lie ahead. Together, we can build a stronger, more united conservative movement that will lead our nation to prosperity and freedom.
