.MaddowBlog: 'Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics or will we look away from the danger and the threat, embrace the lies and enable the liar?' Rep. Liz Cheney asks of the Republican Party.
Rep. Liz Cheney took a risk when she became one of the Republican Party's most vocal critics of Donald Trump and his anti-democracy efforts. By most measures, the Wyoming congresswoman has paid a price for doing what few others in her party have been willing to do.
Cheney was kicked out of her leadership post in the House Republican Conference; she's seen several primary rivals launch campaigns against her; and the House Freedom Caucus hasShe's not, however, changing course.
"Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics or will we look away from the danger and the threat, embrace the lies and enable the liar?" Cheney asked."There is no gray area when it comes to that question, when it comes to this moment. There is no middle ground.
"It's a real reflection of the times in which we live that privately and behind the scenes, there are many Republicans who say, 'Thank you for what you're doing. We wish we could be more public,'" the Wyoming lawmaker said."People who understand that what the former president is saying is dangerous, is not true, and who know that our party's got to be a party based on truth, that we can't embrace the lie.
When Cheney asked yesterday,"Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics or will we look away from the danger and the threat, embrace the lies and enable the liar?" it was a rhetorical question, but a painfully large majority of Republican voters are nevertheless answering that they prefer the latter to the former.
