We cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the Constitution,\u201d Cheney proclaimed. \u201cThe nation needs it. The nation needs a strong Republican Party. The nation needs a party that that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism. And I am committed and dedicated to ensuring that that\u2019s how this party goes forward. And I plan to lead the fight to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked how concerned she was that former President Donald Trump might end back up in the Oval Office and what she was prepared to do to prevent that, Cheney responded, \u201cI will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language,\u201d Cheney continued. \u201cWe have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution. And I think it\u2019s very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody who will be faithful to the Constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded to Cheney\u2019s ouster by saying in a statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"15\">\n<p><em>Liz Cheney is a bitter, horrible human being. I watched her yesterday and realized how bad she is for the Republican Party. She has no personality or anything good having to do with politics or our Country. She is a talking point for Democrats, whether that means the Border, the gas lines, inflation, or destroying our economy. She is a warmonger whose family stupidly pushed us into the never-ending Middle East Disaster, draining our wealth and depleting our Great Military, the worst decision in our Country\u2019s history. I look forward to soon watching her as a Paid Contributor on CNN or MSDNC!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump was likely referring to watching Cheney speak on the House floor yesterday, not about any of the crises facing the U.S. under the Biden administration, but about Trump not accepting the election results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president who provoked a violent attack on this capital in an effort to steal the election has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him,\u201d Cheney <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rev.com\/blog\/transcripts\/liz-cheney-speech-transcript-ahead-of-gop-vote-to-oust-her\">said<\/a>. \u201cHe risks inciting further violence. Millions of Americans have been misled by the former president. They have heard only his words, but not the truth as he continues to undermine our democratic process, sowing seeds of doubt about whether democracy really works at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"7.21875\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Freedom only survives if we protect it.
