"Today, I am perhaps most disappointed in many of my fellow conservatives who know better, those who stood against the threats of communism and Islamic terrorism but concluded that it was easier to appease Donald Trump or keep their heads down. I had hoped for more from them." ~ Liz Cheney, Vice-Chair, Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol
Two questions for veiled and unveiled election deniers and insurrection supporters
Vice-Chair Liz Cheney’s Foreward to the Final Report (according to section 4(a) of House Resolution 503, 117th Congress) issued by the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol:
“Part of the tragedy of January 6th is the conduct of those who knew that what happened was profoundly wrong but nevertheless tried to downplay it, minimize it or defend those responsible. That effort continues every day. Today, I am perhaps most disappointed in many of my fellow conservatives who know better, those who stood against the threats of communism and Islamic terrorism but concluded that it was easier to appease Donald Trump or keep their heads down. I had hoped for more from them.
“The late Charles Krauthammer wrote, ‘The lesson of our history is that the task of merely maintaining strong and sturdy the structures of a constitutional order is unending, the continuing and ceaseless work of every generation.’
This task is unending because democracy can be fragile, and our institutions do not defend themselves.
“The history of our time will show that the bravery of a handful of Americans doing their duty saved us from an even more grave Constitutional crisis. Elected officials, election workers, and public servants stood against Donald Trump’s corrupt pressure. Many of our witnesses showed selfless patriotism, and their words and courage will be remembered.
“The brave men and women of the Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and all the other law enforcement officers who fought to defend us that day undoubtedly saved lives and our democracy. Finally, I wish to thank all who honorably contributed to the work of the Committee and to this Report. We accomplished much over a relatively short period of time, and many of you sacrificed for the good of your nation. You have helped make history and, I hope, helped right the ship.”
Signed.
Liz Cheney
The questions are:
Is anything said by Liz Cheney untrue? If so, what and why?
Waiting patiently for answers worth waiting for,
