[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Rarely has so much ignorance and ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know you and @realDonaldTrump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, and destroying the security of America and her allies, but you would do well, @JDVance, to spend some time actually studying history. Start here with Ronald Reagan: “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.  And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

Thank you, former Atty Gen’l Gonzales:
“All of us in the legal profession have a special obligation to abide by and to protect the rule of law.”

“And no amount of rationalization to support Trump because of his policies can overcome the disqualification of this man based on his lack of integrity.”

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Let’s be clear: This is illegal and unconstitutional. The American people had voted. The courts had ruled. The Electoral College had met and voted. The Governor in every state had certified the results and sent a legal slate of electors to the Congress to be counted. The Vice President has no constitutional authority to tell states to submit alternative slates of electors because his candidate lost. That is tyranny. Our institutions held on Jan 6 because Mike Pence refused to violate his oath to the Constitution. Trump picked JD Vance because Vance will do whatever Trump wants, including violating the Constitution. They are both far too dangerous to serve. It’s our duty to stop them.

No matter what your policy views are - no matter if you are a conservative Republican or not - Donald Trump cannot be trusted with power. He is a risk that we simply can’t take, and he has to be defeated.

As a conservative, as someone who believes in and cares about The Constitution, I have thought deeply about this, and because of the danger that Donald Trump poses, not only am I not voting for Donald Trump, but I will be voting for Kamala Harris. -@Liz_Cheney

Mitch McConnell knows Trump provoked the violent attack on our Capitol and then “watched television happily” as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the Vice President. He knows Trump refused for hours to tell his mob to leave and “even then with police officers bleeding…he kept repeating his election lies and praising the criminals.” He knows Trump committed a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and is a danger to our Republic. Trump and his collaborators will be defeated, and history will remember the shame of people like @LeaderMcConnell who enabled them.

Two years ago today @Liz_Cheney said:

“To my Republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible: There will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.”

Still true today.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

“A country must be great to call for the sacrifice of such men. America will always be great because such men have fallen in order that the principles expressed in our Constitution will endure. The people of America will realize what that gold star means…and will resolve to keep America worthy of such men.”

Letter from LTC James Rudder to the mother of Cpl Willis Caperton who was killed at D-Day.

Today, we remember the courage of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago to defend freedom and defeat tyranny.

America deserves a president as good and steadfast as our nation, a president of character, driven by a noble purpose, one who honors the sacrifices of our troops. Not a man consumed by spite, revenge, and self-pity.

Thank you, @KenBurns, for speaking the truth.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Donald Trump is unstable and dangerous. He knows this is a lie that could again provoke violence from those who blindly follow him. Rs in Congress: You know Trump is unfit.
When will you put aside your cowardice and stand up for what you know is right? https://t.co/lTy2hZQiGP

[Sarah Matthews @SarahAMatthews1]

Trump’s continued use of Nazi rhetoric is un-American and despicable. Yet too many Americans are brushing off the glaring red flags about what could happen if he returns to the White House.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY), at NORPAC event: “The greatest threat for democracy comes not from the far right or the far left but from the cowardice of the center unwilling to condemn them.”

Actually, @GovDougBurgum, Trump didn't just negotiate with terrorists, he invited the Taliban to Camp David on the anniversary of 9/11 and had his Secretary of State sign a surrender agreement with them.

@Liz_Cheney @GovDougBurgum The Trump Doctrine = Surrender to Terrorists

In an ominous foreshadowing of what would happen on Jan. 6, Donald Trump called armed Michigan militia members who stormed the State Capitol in Lansing "very good people" on this day in 2020, and thought the Governor should give into their threats of violence and intimidation.

On this day in 2017, Donald Trump wrote another chapter in his long obsession with authoritarian dictators, calling Kim Jong Un "a pretty smart cookie," a day after the North Korean dictator shot a ballistic missile directly over the second-largest island in Japan.

American presidents should never kowtow to our adversaries. We can't allow it in the future.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

POTUS has no official role in the 1/6 count. When a candidate pressures/threatens the President of the Senate (Pence), pressures and lobbies state legislatures & members of Congress, and oversees a fraudulent elector scheme, his acts are private. And plotting to appoint an AG in a quid pro quo for help on 1/6 parallels CJ Roberts’ bribery hypo.

Trump told SCOTUS in his 12/9/20 brief that he was filing in his “personal capacity as a candidate.” The Court need not resolve more difficult immunity Qs not at issue here. Rule quickly and decisively.

.@Liz_Cheney: "Americans want to be reminded that not only are we a great country, but that we're a good country...and you want your president to be somebody that you're proud for your children to look up to."
