Freshly ousted Rep. Liz Cheney will not go quietly into the night. Only hours after being voted by her House Republican colleagues to be stripped of her role as House GOP Conference Chair the disgraced Republican is already speaking out. Rep. Cheney says that following the vote she plans to “everything I can” to prevent Trump from becoming president ever again.

Fox News reports:

“I will do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again never gets anywhere near the Oval Office,” she said after being quickly removed as the Republican conference chair via voice vote. “We have seen the danger that he continues to provoke with his language. We have seen his lack of commitment and dedication to the Constitution. And I think it’s very important that we make sure whomever we elect is somebody that will be faithful to the Constitution.”

…

But as Republicans in general, including many who voted to impeach Trump, have attempted to put the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol and Trump’s false claims that the presidential election was stolen in the rearview mirror, Cheney continued to harp on the issue.

“We must go forward based on truth. We cannot both embrace the big lie and embrace the Constitution,” she said Wednesday. “The nation needs a party that is based upon fundamental principles of conservatism. And I am committed and dedicated to ensuring that that’s how this party goes forward and I plan to lead the fight to do that.”

Cheney added: “We’ve got to get back to a place where we are a party that can fight for conservative principles that can fight for substance. We cannot be dragged backward by the very dangerous lies of a former president.”

Trump has yet to confirm if he will launch a third presidential campaign in 2024 but has strongly hinted at it.
