Liz Cheney

Republican Representative Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, gave a speech in New Hampshire on Tuesday.

She said, in part:

"We are...confronting a domestic threat that we have never faced before: A former president who's attempting to unravel the foundations of our constitutional republic, aided by political leaders, who have made themselves willing hostages to this dangerous and irrational man." 

The CNN.com report, below, noted that Cheney--known for her conservatism--said she disagrees "strongly with nearly everything President Biden has done since he has been in office."  The report continued:

But while she [has] opposed Biden's policies, she repeatedly took aim at the former President, calling him a "liar" who "tragically misled" Americans and "provoked violence" on January 6.
 
"I love my party. I love its history. I love its principles," Cheney said. "But I love my country more. I know this nation needs a Republican Party that is based on truth."
 
"We need a Republican Party that is led by people who remember that the peaceful transfer of power is sacred," she added. "We need Republican leaders who remember that fidelity to the Constitution, fidelity to the rule of law — those are the most conservative of conservative principles."

The CNN.com story included the following:  "Her comments are sure to prompt speculation about a 2024 presidential run, which could potentially be against the former President."
