'Orange Jesus' and a note from George W. Bush: 5 takeaways from Republican Liz Cheney's book
Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is one of former President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics. But she has few kind words for other prominent Republicans in her new book.

Dec 23, 2022: NBC News: House passes $1.7 trillion spending bill that rewrites U.S. election law, sending it to Biden to sign

The departing Wyoming Republican said Monday that former President Donald Trump is "unfit for any office" and should never "serve in any position of authority in our nation again." Her sharp-edged certainty, deployed to save democracy, has been a gift to Democrats, fellow Republican resisters and, above all, America. But today's GOP is hostile to Cheney precisely because of that mission. And unless working with the opposition has upended her worldview, the Democratic Party won't be a fit, either. Dec 19, 2022: Arkansas Online: WATCH: Liz Cheney speaks at Crystal Bridges

Dallas Morning News: No recommendation in Texas’ 4th Congressional District
Two years ago we endorsed Pat Fallon, 54, who is finishing his first term as the representative for this district, based on his previous public service and his support for limited government, low taxes, personal responsibility and property rights. But he lost our confidence with his vote to object to the presidential election results after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. We are troubled by other stances Fallon has taken since. He was one of several leading Texas GOP politicians who recently filed an unsuccessful petition with the Texas Supreme Court to have Libertarians expelled from the ballot. And instead of focusing on his constituents in Northeast Texas, he made it a point to go to Wyoming this summer to campaign against his Republican colleague Liz Cheney because of her desire to hold former President Donald Trump accountable for Jan. 6 10.16.22 CNN: Liz Cheney says electing Arizona GOP nominees for governor and secretary of state could put US at risk

Cheney responded, "My vote to impeach was compelled by the oath I swore to the Constitution. Wyoming citizens know that this oath does not bend or yield to politics or partisanship. I will always fight for Wyoming values and stand up for our Western way of life." May 5, 2021: An Op-Ed written by Cheney was published in the Washington Post. She wrote: "The GOP is at a turning point. History is watching us." In it, she reiterated her positions on adhering to the principles of the U.S. Constitution, upholding the law, and defending "the basic principles that underpin and protect our freedom and our democratic process" May 11, 2021: On the eve of a House Republican vote to remove her, Cheney made an address on the House floor after her colleagues had left the chamber, saying in part: "Today we face a threat America has never seen before. A former president, who provoked a violent attack on this Capitol in an effort to steal the election, has resumed his aggressive effort to convince Americans that the election was stolen from him. He risks inciting further violence. Millions of Americans have been misled by the former president. They have heard only his words, but not the truth, as he continues to undermine our democratic process, sowing seeds of doubt about whether democracy really works at all. I am a conservative Republican and the most conservative of conservative principles is reverence for the rule of law. The Electoral College has voted. More than sixty state and federal courts, including multiple judges he appointed, have rejected the former president's claims. The Department of Justice in his administration investigated the former president's claims of widespread fraud and found no evidence to support them. The election is over. That is the rule of law. That is our constitutional process. Those who refuse to accept the rulings of our courts are at war with the Constitution."

In the House, Representative Liz Cheney’s tenure as the No. 3 Republican appears to be coming to an end, thanks to her willingness to stand up to Mr. Trump’s fabrications. With Ms. Cheney on her way out, a new era in G.O.P. politics is being ushered in: As early as next week, every member of the House leadership could be fully committed to a pro-Trump platform.

Nov 1, 2020: Politico: ‘She Kind of Reminds You of Margaret Thatcher’: Liz Cheney Prepares To Make Her Move
Earlier this year, Liz Cheney’s ambitions came into focus.
After Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi announced his retirement, Mitch McConnell and his team offered Cheney, the state’s sole House member and the chamber’s No. 3 GOP leader, what they and many of Cheney’s close allies thought was a no-brainer: a mostly clear path to the U.S. Senate seat in a reliably Republican state. The job comes with a larger microphone, they argued, and would set her up for a Cabinet position in foreign policy or national security—Cheney’s passion—or a presidential run in 2024 or 2028.
