The daughter of the former vice president Dick Cheney reiterated on Wednesday his claim that Trump cannot be president again. “It is not suitable,” he said. “You can never be near the Oval Office again.”

“For reasons I do not understand, the leaders of my party have decided to embrace the former president who launched that attack,” Cheney said. “And I think you have observed over the course of the last few months, the former president has become more aggressive, more vocal, pushes the lie, and I think that is something really important for people to understand. It is not about disapproving of the past. It’s about the current real-time potential damage that it’s doing, that it’s still doing. ” And he added: “It is a constant threat, so silence is not an option.”

Cheney pressured his fellow Republicans to accept a bipartisan commission to investigate the January 6 attack on the Capitol to get to the truth of what happened that day , and said that “there should be no reason why there should be resistance.”
