She is a passionate person, and his family foolishly pushed us into endless The mid-Easter disaster exhausted our wealth and exhausted our powerful military power.

Six months after beating President BidenNearly four months after leaving office, Mr. Trump still insists that the election was stolen from him through extensive voter fraud.

After the election, his claims were tested extensively in court. Judges at the federal and state levels, including several judges appointed by Mr. Trump, Found them unfounded. Mr. Trump’s own Justice Department found no evidence to support his conspiracy theory.

On January 6, thousands of Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from proving Biden’s victory, insisting that it was fraudulent.

Then Trump was impeached for impeaching the treason government — Ms. Cheney was one of only 10 Republicans who opposed him — even though he was later acquitted by the Senate. Between 57% and 43% of senators voted to convict Trump, far less than the 67 votes required to find him guilty.

Ms. Cheney continued to contradict Trump’s debunking claims about the election in the next few months. On the floor of the House of Representatives last night, she explained why.

“Today, we are facing threats that the United States has never seen before. A former president provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an attempt to steal elections. He resumed his radical efforts to convince Americans that it was from him. Stolen there.”

“He risked inciting further violence. The former president misled millions of Americans. As he continued to undermine our democratic process, they only heard his words but not the truth.

“The election is over. That’s the rule of law. That’s our constitution-making process. Those who refuse to accept the rulings of our courts are fighting the constitution.

“This has nothing to do with policy. It has nothing to do with partisanship. This is about our responsibilities as Americans. Keeping silent and ignoring lies can make liars feel timid. I will not participate.

“When others lead our party to abandon the rule of law and join the former president’s crusade to undermine our democratic path, I will not sit down silently.”
