The Wyoming Rep. is one of two Republicans on the committee investigating the January 6 events at the U.S. Capitol.
This Thursday night, the House Select Committee investigating the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol will hold its first public hearing in nearly a year, asking us to relive, and reckon with, a day that some would rather have us forget.
CBS News' Robert Costa asked the committee's vice chair, Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney,"Are you confident that what you have found as a committee will somehow grab the American people by the lapels and say, 'Wake up: You have to pay attention'?""You know, we are not in a situation where former President Trump has expressed any sense of remorse about what happened," Cheney said.
It also means standing apart from most of her fellow Congressional Republicans."We have too many people now in the Republican Party who are not taking their responsibilities seriously, and who have pledged their allegiance and loyalty to Donald Trump," Cheney said."I mean, it is fundamentally antithetical, it is contrary to everything conservatives believe, to embrace a personality cult. And yet, that is what so many in my party are doing today.
