Some Republicans have argued that Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is losing her leadership post not because of her criticisms of former president Donald Trump, but because she is too focused on what happened in the past.
Meanwhile, Trump has spent nearly all of his post-presidency rehashing the November 2020 election and spreading the falsehood that it was stolen from him.
On Friday morning, Trump was out with a new statement accusing Michigan and Wisconsin — two states he won in 2016 but lost in 2020 — of “miraculously” finding votes for Biden. He’s urged audits of ballots, insisting still that massive corruption will be uncovered, when there is no evidence of any malfeasance that would have turned the election in his favor.
Cheney’s outspoken opposition to Trump’s rhetoric is not solely focused on what he said to spur his supporters to attack the Capitol on Jan. 6, but also comes in response to the comments Trump continues to make.
