Liz Cheney Criticizes MAGA Senator for “Spreading Lunacy”

Liz Cheney Responds to Allegations Regarding January 6 Committee

Former U.S. Senator Liz Cheney (R-WY) is addressing accusations of suppressing crucial evidence related to the January 6 Capitol attack. These claims were made in an article by The Federalist titled ‘Liz Cheney, January 6 Committee Suppressed Exonerating Evidence Of Trump’s Push For National Guard.’

Confrontations with Conservative Figures

Recently, Cheney engaged in heated exchanges with Fox News pundit Mark Levin and criticized Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) for his stance on investigating the riot. The committee, led by Cheney, uncovered over 100 emails between Lee, Mark Meadows, and Congressman Chip Roy, revealing plans to overturn election results.

Cheney’s Response to Mike Lee

Cheney reminded Senator Lee of his speech on ‘Counting Electoral Votes’ following the January 6 incident. In a tweet, Cheney urged Lee to reconsider his position and shared a link to Dallin Oaks’s speech ‘Defending Our Divinely Inspired Constitution.’

.@BasedMikeLee: Here you are on 1/6 explaining that Trump’s plan to seize power was illegal. It’s sad you’ve abandoned what you know is true. You should take a break from spreading lunacy to read these remarks by Dallin Oaks https://t.co/7nBWnZeYkl https://t.co/miY9EiWlry

The Importance of Upholding the Constitution

In her response, Cheney emphasized the significance of governance by law rather than individuals. She highlighted Dallin Oaks’s speech, stressing loyalty to the Constitution and its principles. Oaks’s address, ‘Defending Our Divinely Inspired Constitution,’ underscores the fundamental role of law in a democratic society.

Note: Dallin Oaks, a prominent figure in the LDS Church, asserts the importance of adherence to constitutional principles in his speeches. Cheney’s reference to Oaks’s remarks reinforces the commitment to upholding the rule of law.
