Liz Cheney sought the opportunity to express his discomfort regarding the comments made by former President Donald Trump against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, after writing on his social network that “he had a death wish”, in addition to assaulting his wife Elaine Chao. What the representative of Wyoming described as an “absolutely despicable racist attack”.
Liz Cheney, who is the vice chair of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on Capitol Hill 2021, warned during a presentation at Syracuse University that Donald Trump’s comments could incite more violence.
“When you see former President Trump in the last 24 hours suggesting in a very little veiled way, using words that could well cause violence against the Republican leader of the Senate , saying that he has a death wish”, argued Cheney when he gave his speech.
And annoyed by the comments, she also added: “Launching an absolutely despicable racist attack on Secretary Chao, the wife of Leader McConnell, and then you see the fact that no one in my party will say that is unacceptable. Everyone should be asked if that’s acceptable or not, and everyone should be able to say no, that’s not acceptable! They should be forced to say that,” he added.
Last week the former president used his social network to fuel the attacks against Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, suggesting that the Republican leader had “a death wish”, since he had voted to pass legislation that was introduced by the Democrats.
The most unpleasant thing about the matter, and which has been criticized by other legislators, is that Trump referred to McConnell’s wife, the former Secretary of the Department of Transportation as “his Chinese wife Coco Chow”.
Everything indicates that Donald Trump exploded in anger, after Congress approved a resolution to finance the government until 16 of December and avoid a closure. The bill passed with bipartisan support in the House and Senate, including Mitch McConnell’s vote.
Liz Cheney is one of the fiercest critics of Donald Trump, so she would not allow these expressions that bothered her to be overlooked and how he mentioned make him “despicable”.
At the end of last month, the representative from Wyoming stated again that she will do everything possible so that Trump does not reach the White House during the Festival The Texas Tribune.
“I will make sure that Donald Trump… I will do my best to make sure that he is not the candidate . And if he’s the nominee, I won’t be a Republican.”
Former Vice President Dick Cheney’s daughter lost her state primary against Harriet Hageman, a candidate endorsed by Trump. And during a post-results interview, she said that she would think about running for president in 2024. she Later she hinted that she could launch her independent candidacy
