US Representative Liz Cheney said Wednesday that the US is facing a domestic threat given the revelation of the January 6 select committee which investigated the attack on the US Capitol. The select committee had learned that former President Donald Trump "oversaw and engaged in were even more chilling and threatening than we imagined."

In a speech at the Ronald Reagan Library in California, the vice-chair of the House panel investigating the Capitol riot had stated that Trump was "attempting to unravel the foundations of our Constitutional Republic ... aided by Republican leaders and elected officials." In accordance with that, Cheney, who is a Republican, argued that the people, in following through with the former President’s plans, had “made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man."

Cheney is polling, for the state’s at-large House seat, against a Trump-backed Republican primary challenger. The core argument she had been using is that people who are loyal to someone who goes to war with a democratic process cannot be accepted to defend a constitutional republic. 

"No party and no people and no nation can defend and perpetuate a constitutional republic if they accept a leader who’s gone to war with the rule of law, with the democratic process, or with the peaceful transition of power, with the Constitution itself," adding "It is undeniable — the Republican Party cannot be both loyal to Donald Trump and loyal to the Constitution," said Cheney in her speech.

On the same topic, it is worth noting that Cheney praised Cassidy Hutchinson, the former top aide to Trump’s Chief of White House Staff Mark Meadows. Hutchinson had given testimony, on Tuesday, before the Jan. 6 panel, during which she revealed that the former president leaped at his security detail when he learned he would not be taken to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. 

Cheney described that the testimony shows bravery and patriotism to serve as an example for girls across the US. Trump’s representative gave no comment in return.
