Some Republicans Voted against Trump’s Impeachment Fearing for Their Lives, Cheney Claims

Ousted House Republican Rep. Liz Cheney claims that some GOP members of the Congress had voted against impeaching former US President Donald Trump out of fear for their own lives, CNN says.

According to her, there are more members who believe in substance and policy and cited the impeachment vote in which she was one of only 10 House Republicans who voted to hold Trump accountable for the Capitol riot. Cheney claimed to have talked to members who told her that they were afraid for their own security and their lives.

Cheney said that as a member of Congress, she was obligated to oppose the lie of election fraud, which along the criticism toward Trump cost her House Republican leadership post, where she was replaced by New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik.

Cheney is adamant that Trump and his lies that undermine the federal election system are an ongoing danger to the country.
