She\u2019s one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump and she\u2019s also one of two Republicans on the January 6 panel. Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) is the other who has come to her defense often.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cLook, we are standing up against evil, Liz Cheney\u2019s standing up against evil,\u201d claimed Kinzinger. \u201cAnd I say this, you know I put out this message the other day, which is a lot of people sit around and they dream up the day they get to do it and very few people ever get that chance to really stand up against evil.
