Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on the U.S. Capitol at the Cannon House Building in Washington, D.C. (Photo by Jim Bourg-Pool\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 12:47 PM PT \u2013 Monday, September 27, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Wyoming\u2019s sole Republican Rep. Liz Cheney has tried to save her position in the House of Representatives from what she said were unconstitutional forces. Speaking to 60 Minutes on Sunday, Cheney was asked about how she felt going up against 45th President Trump, who has maintained extreme popularity among Republican voters.<\/p>\n<p>While Cheney claimed the mantle of being a strongly conservative Republican as she voted with Trump over 90 percent of the time during his tenure, she believed his insistence on fighting election fraud was worse than Joe Biden\u2019s disastrous policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn my view, the American people, they deserve better than having to choose between what I think are the really disastrous policies of Joe Biden\u2026very dangerous policies for the country,\u201d she stated. \u201cBut, the alternative cannot be a man who doesn\u2019t believe in the rule of law, and who violated his oath of office.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Liz Cheney spent President Trump\u2019s term fighting his agenda. Now she is embracing Joe Biden and partnering up with Nancy Pelosi to smear Trump supporters. Wyomingites deserve a real conservative that will always put America First. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/h7XMq5PoYP\">pic.twitter.com\/h7XMq5PoYP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Harriet Hageman (@HagemanforWY) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HagemanforWY\/status\/1440737665784090625?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 22, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Since she first came out in favor of impeaching Trump in the second impeachment trial, Cheney\u2019s national profile was boosted by both Democrats and the media. Her continued insistence on attacking Trump cost her position as GOP conference chair as well as led her to be shunned by most of the House Caucus.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships between Cheney and most of the party have frayed to such an extent, she has turned her ire against House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif). When asked about her defiance of her own leadership in favor of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Cheney said McCarthy shouldn\u2019t have embraced Trump after the election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat he\u2019s done is embrace Donald Trump and if I were doing what he\u2019s doing, I would be deeply ashamed of myself,\u201d she expressed. \u201cI don\u2019t know how you explain that to your children. When you are in a situation where you have somebody who did what Donald Trump did, it is absolutely clear he cannot continue to be somebody you embrace.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We know what you like. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pT7hCDsvfO\">https:\/\/t.co\/pT7hCDsvfO<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nC9dm8GZU9\">pic.twitter.com\/nC9dm8GZU9<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Harriet Hageman (@HagemanforWY) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HagemanforWY\/status\/1442168183985618952?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 26, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Due to her continued trashing of party leadership, Cheney has been faced with an uphill battle to get reelected in 2022. Polls have shown her approval tanking in her home state of Wyoming as she faces a former family friend who has since been endorsed by Trump in the primary.<\/p>\n<p>For her part, Cheney wasn\u2019t worried about reelected as she has believed a vote against her was a vote against the Constitution itself.<\/p>\n<p>She went on to claim, \u201ca vote against me in this race, a vote for whomever Donald Trump has endorsed, is a vote for somebody who\u2019s willing to perpetuate the big lie, somebody who\u2019s willing to put allegiance to Trump above allegiance to the Constitution, absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cheney is vice chair of Pelosi\u2019s January 6 Committee and is one of only two Republicans to defy party leadership to sit on the committee. Subpoena\u2019s against high ranking officials in the Trump White House are expected from the Committee in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gop-urges-biden-to-show-scientists-behind-murky-covid-19-probe\/\">GOP Urges Biden To Show Scientists Behind Murky COVID-19 Probe<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
