GOP Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), vice chairwoman of the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, delivers remarks during the seventh hearing on the Jan. 6 investigation in the Cannon House Office Building on July 12, 2022 in Washington, D.C.
After a strategic misfire by House Republicans, Donald Trump has been left twisting in the wind as Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, vice chair of the select committee investigating Jan. 6, dismembers Trump in real time in the Jan. 6 hearings. At the outset of Tuesday’s hearing, Cheney landed yet another blow, noting that Trump—and Trump alone—is responsible for his actions.
"President Trump is a 76-year-old man. He is not an impressionable child,” Cheney noted. “Just like everyone else in our country, he is responsible for his own actions and his own choices."
In other words, just because Trump petulantly throws plates of ketchup against the Oval Office walls doesn’t mean he escapes culpability for trying to get congressional lawmakers and his own vice president killed.
Cheney’s framing was pitch perfect, evoking Trump’s childish impulses while reminding viewers that, dammit, he’s a 70-year-old man. And just like all the other adults being held responsible for their actions on Jan. 6, Trump must be too.
