Wyoming Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney was chosen on Thursday to serve on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, making her the only Republican among the eight members.
Cheney released a statement following the announcement that said, “I’m honored to have been named to serve on the January 6th select committee. Congress is obligated to conduct a full investigation of the most serious attack on our Capitol since 1814.”
She added, “That day saw the most sacred space in our Republic overrun by an angry and violent mob attempting to stop the counting of electoral votes and threatening the peaceful transfer of power.”
Cheney also noted her concern about holding people accountable for the events of Jan. 6.
“What happened on January 6th can never happen again,” Cheney said. “Those who are responsible for the attack need to be held accountable and this select committee will fulfill that responsibility in a professional, expeditious, and non-partisan manner.
Keep in mind, this is the same House member who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump even when he was already leaving office.
Cheney has been censured by her own Wyoming Republican Party for that vote. Even House Republicans removed her from her position as the third most powerful Republican and stripped her of her committee assignments, agreeing her values did not match the values of conservative Republicans.
Trump endorsed New York Republican Elise Stefanik to replace Cheney as chair of the House Republican Conference. In a statement, he said, “Liz Cheney is a warmongering fool who has no business in Republican Party Leadership.”
He added, “We want leaders who believe in the Make America Great Again movement, and prioritize the values of America First. Elise Stefanik is a far superior choice, and she has my COMPLETE and TOTAL Endorsement for GOP Conference Chair. Elise is a tough and smart communicator!”
The congresswoman now faces six percent reelection numbers in her home district. How could she make herself relevant again? Maybe even get a bit of revenge against Trump on the way out the door?
Join with Democrats to blame Trump for everything that happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6!
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he was shocked Cheney would join Pelosi in anything, but nothing seems ordinary in the turbulent times of 2021.
Instead of supporting conservative freedoms, Cheney wants to punish Trump and his supporters. Since she’s unlikely to be reelected, she is more likely setting herself up for future plans outside of office.
Sadly, she’s doing so with American tax dollars and to the harm of the nation. It’s one thing to say you didn’t like what you saw on Jan. 6. Many conservatives would agree. But seeking to punish Trump and other Republicans for it months later, knowing you won’t be reelected, is a sad situation.
If only Republicans could impeach Cheney! The voters of Wyoming will have their chance in the next election, but much damage could take place between now and then.

And this is a surprise, WHY? Take a good look at the growing number of RINOs in the GOP who USE the party and its voters to gain power then turn on them all repeatedly.
Now consider this: WHY DOES THE GOP REPEATEDLY SUPPORT THEIR REELECTIONS AND WHY DO REPUBLICANS REPEATEDLY REELECT THEM????
I routinely damn the GOP for their back-stabbing duplicity. THIS IS WHY.
Doesn’t surprise me one bit, that Shady Cheney would do this. She thinks she is better than the people she represents
I think they’re rigging the elections! Pelosi’s husband owns the vote counters in California! Maybe in Wyoming too!
This doesn’t surprise me at all. She’s a worthless neocon RINO. All for open borders and a left wing commiecrat globalist behind closed doors. Her old man was Bush’s VP. That should say enough there for what these Cheneys really are. And now that she’s attacking President Trump and those of us who support him, it’s even more obvious what a snake she is.
What else is new? Cheney is just another turncoat RINO. Everybody already knows that.
Liz Cheney is a very sick person it would not surprise me if Democrats paid her to go against her party, money the rule of all evil. Money will not do you any good in hell, Wyoming, wake up find someone to represent you that cares about you and your state, Liz only cares about herself
Cheney is trash….thanks for nothing Wyoming.
All I can say to ms Cheney is, et tu Judais? Judes showed betrayal to Jesus. We have similar act
Today in Cheney….not only to trump but to all the. honest people of US. Why is she so much wanted to be paraded by the left; to show the world that we are betrayed by our own. SORRY, you are not our own! NO to your kind…and the wrong kind: THE SOCIALIST LEFT. Oksanna
Mrs. Cheney’s statement that this was the most serious attack on the capital since 1814 is false. She overlooked the March 1, 1954 attack in the House chamber by Puerto Rican Nationalists who shot and wounded 5 congressmen. A simple Google will tell her that.
This is all political theatre designed to entertain/sway the uninformed, lazy, and unintelligent.
Liz Cheney is just another Hate Filled RINO Bi**h
I don’t think Liz Cheney is a RINO, I think she’s a plant from the other side> Her and all her cronies
who are pretending to be Republicans!
CHENEY AGREED TO JOIN IN ON PELOSI,’S CORRUPT INVESTIGATION ON THE ATTACK ON CAPITOL ATTACK BECAUASE SHE HAS PROVEN SHE IS A RINO..SHE STILL HAS HER CLAWS OUT FOR TRUMP! WHY ISN’T PELOSI HAVING ANOTHER
GOP MEMBER ON THE COMMITEE??
Millions will be spent and Zero conclusion!!! More from the left who spend money like a drunken Sailor . RINO Liz wants to attack President Trump as he will be backing a true Republican to primary her.
This was to be expected. Liz dishonors the Republican Party and her family name by serving on this faux committee. Her political career, hopefully, is ended unless she wants to join the Democrap Party.
Liz Cheney is a “TRAITOR” to the United States in my opinion.
‘
“CHIN NUTS” Cheney the commiecrat boot licker is a disgrace & Embarrassment to Wyoming & the USA.
The SKANK & her brother (Romney) are complete waste of skins. These scumbags should be exiled to a shit hole in Venezuela.
why does she even bother? she is already defeated among the Conservative voters. She and pence should hook up and see how little Americans think about them! LOL*
absolutely right on. The minute they display signs of being a RHINO they should be kicked out of party immediately. They are not demonstrating what they were elected to do so adios.
If the GOP doesn’t drum these RINO’s out soon, there will be two democrat parties. It’s time the party grew a pair, and stamped on all of these traitors. The list gets longer every day. Soros bought off half the EU to get his policies voted for in Europe, it looks to me as though the Republican Party corrupt is also on his payrol.
CHENEY needs to be sent packing back to her state and removed from the State Republican party!! Let her join the DEMs officially!!! After all she is Really a RINO!!!!
If she is so intelligent and understand what she Did ( She betrayed her party) with disregard to the end result. She should know her Political generes is gone. Get out and let someone else do what you failed to do!!!!!! or Did you really failed????????. I met a snake in Panama once but was in a cage, I guess you need to be in one 2.
Liz Chaney is an American traitor and should be hung.
Liz Cheney should be removed she did not keep her oath of office is she’s not representing the people that voted her in. Once you are elected official and take the oath you are not supposed to go off on your own and do your own wishes you’re supposed to vote the wishes of your representative people’s
A truthful and honest investigation, would reveal that the Democrats, along with never Trumpers, basically planned this so called “insurrection”, to stop States from challenging the electoral College fraudulent results. Pelosi, along with the Capitol Police, and the FBI, needed one last chance to keep Donald Trump from re-election. The vote totals were fraudulent, and they knew they would be found out if they returned Electoral College verification back to the state legislators. They had to steal this election to keep Trump from continuing to represent the American people! This “sham” investigation will be as ridiculous and dishonest as Adam schiff’s impeachment Trump!
We the people need to demand a full and public investigation into all demorats fraudulently activities and then we the people need to decide what American’s want to do about it…. And I want to know how people who are Americans trespass on grounds we own as Americans.. Don Vet…
She is lying through her teeth about the whole thing. Hate keeps you from being truthful.
This country was founded on Gods laws and commandments as stated in the declaration of independence. Anyone who doesn’t have faith in God’s laws and doesn’t respect the Constitution are invited to go back to the countries they’re ancestors immigrated from. Which looks like the whole democratic party to me.
WHAT A DIRT BAG !!
FBI = FUMBLING BUNGLING IDIOTS ! Wray is only White Washing the CRIMINAL ACTIVITY of the FBI STOOGES ! They are only interested in persecution of innocent Citizens ! My guess is the ONLY reason they have searched high and low for that missing Piglosi Laptop is because it has the plans and instructions for the Jan 6th intrusion of the Capitol on it and the FBI was in on the entire thing from the start ! Most all of the Citizens that entered the Capitol were welcomed in by the Capitol Police and the FBI thugs dressed as police and ordinary citizens !
Piglosi wants to investigate Jan 6th ? For what ? To make sure that her paid agitators and instigators did their jobs correctly ? The entire thing was set up and staged for the cameras so they could trap as many Trump supporters as possible ! I just bet that the missing Piglosi laptop has all the plans and instructions for the Jan 6th intrusion on it and that is why the FBI has been looking high and low to find it ! I hope that some Patriot Citizen finds that laptop first and turns it over to an Honorable Senator or House Rep and they make sure the contents are used to arrest and imprison ALL those that took part in the Jan 6th Capitol SCAM !
Liz Cheney and other RINOS are better off that they leave the Republican party and become Demorats.
Cheney is a miserable rino traitorous twat who will be gone in 2022. Don’t fret about her she is just full of shit. anyway!!!
Traitor Liz Cheney was chosen by the democratic monster Pelosi to betray 100 million Republicans, whose peaceful delegates came to the Capitol to tell their elect how their elections were stolen. And in response, these monsters killed the mother of three children, an unarmed veteran warrior Ashley Babbitt. Eternal memory to the hero!
Cheney is a RINO witch, she needs to go home and stay there.
Come on Wyoming
Cant you get rid of that evil traitor
What better way to take out a republican can there be than by enlisting them to a committee run by democrats? She’ll likely be voted out in the next election anyway but they’ll use her in the meantime. Pelosi gets off on taking down republicans even RINOs. Let’s see if the republicans show the same resolve when they’re back in power.
