“I will vote to impeach the President,” she announced, before all the facts were available.
Last Monday, House Democrats released their single article of impeachment against President Trump for allegedly inciting what they claimed was an “insurrection” at the Capitol.
“The censure resolution passed in a unanimous vote by the 45-member central committee,” The Washington Times reported. “It included a demand that Ms. Cheney appear before the committee to explain her actions.”
Carbon County Chairman Joey Correnti IV told the Times: “Our representative did not represent our voice.” Thus she failed the Party by going rogue.
The resolution says Cheney defied the will of most Wyoming Republican voters when she voted in favor of the Democrats’ rushed impeachment article, denying President Trump due process.

Due process of the law is the idea that a person is presumed innocent until proved guilty, a process revered by Republicans and shunned by many on the left.
“The wind in Wyoming has been horrendous today—with gusts up to 65 miles per hour. That is nothing compared to the whirlwind created by Representative Cheney’s announcement that she would be voting to impeach President Trump, and her subsequent follow-through of doing just that,” the party said in a statement, to The Daily Wire.

“There has not been a time during our tenure when we have seen this type of an outcry from our fellow Republicans, with the anger and frustration being palpable in the comments we have received. Our telephone has not stopped ringing, our email is filling up, and our website has seen more traffic than at any previous time. The consensus is clear that those who are reaching out to the Party vehemently disagree with Representative Cheney’s decision and actions.”
“This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic,” Cheney herself said in a statement last Tuesday, blaming the President for the behavior of others.
“Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough,” she continued. “The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack.”

Except the siege of the Capitol was planned prior to Trump's speech about a "peaceful, patriotic" protest [Trump's words].
“Everything that followed was his doing [unlike the time when a gunman was inspired by Sen. Bernie Sanders (Communist-VT) to shoot Republicans at a ballgame and nearly killed Sen. Steve Scalise]. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. [This part is true, but you cannot blame him for what others did unless he specifically directed them to do it.] There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution.”

Again, no Republican, no conservative, and no independent voter who voted for Trump believes the attack on the Capitol was anything but horrible. But Democrats always try to lump all Trump supporters in the same category, like Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" categorization of all his supporters.
And Liz Cheney gave the left exactly what they want.
Trump's words at the speech were:
Trump's words at the speech were:
“I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today, we will see whether Republicans stand strong for the integrity of our elections.”These words sound very typical of how political people speak and they clearly do not call for violence or insurrection.
I believe Liz Cheney voted her conscience but I also believe she needs to be voted out of office in the next primary election.
