#NBCNews #january6 #Cheney
I like Liz. Good for her standing up for what is Law.
It’s incredible that people really still hang on to someone so anti-American as Trump. I had planned on moving to Wyoming, but I cannot be surrounded by such purely willful ignorance.
Trump 2024

2666 68 really
She’s a TRUE Republican
What can you say when people support Trump over Cheney.
ALL Republicans should remember what she said…” There will come a time when Trump is gone, but your dishonor will remain.” Are Republicans in Wyoming really saying they hold Trump in higher regard than the Constitution? Then they have no right to call themselves Americans.
If nobody should be above the law, Liz did what she can, and somebody has to do this job if not her. She did great job on the project. If angering for what Lid is doing, I believe that is not fair, though I am a fan of Trump.
Wyoming: Stupid!!
Need to investigate the Biden family and why he humiliated our country in Afgainistan and why he did not even try to negotiate with Putin during the last few weeks before the Russian invasion.
Gas prices are over $6 in some places and this stupid administration stopped building our oil pipelines from Canada and laid off 10,000 of its workers
Gotta wonder why Wyoming believes a New York ‘Billionaire’ over a well known local family.
Liz Cheney is the ONLY Republican with both a spine AND integrity!
Trump was without question, the worst US President of all time.
Supporting Trump guarantees that the Democrats stay in power!
Cheney is no Republican. She is just another Bat Sh#t Crazy Leftist Nut Case out to destroy American values.
I think people just don’t want to admit they’ve been fooled. Tricked. Conned. Bamboozled. I can get that. No one wants to admit to being the fool.
Good job Liz !!! Keep it up
Show everyone how to uncover the truth and show how Trump is an embarrassment to America 🇺🇸.. this is worse than a movie .. how a president can go crazy for power.. unbelievable
For persons to make judgment without hearing the evidence, shame on them. It is anti-American to not know why people ran into the Capitol building on January 6th. This is one for the history books and these Republicans are trying to make distractions talking about inflation. They need to shut up and sit the f down. We got domestic white terrorism who ran into the Capitol building, as well all these mass shootings of all ethnicities going on.
If Government personnel is not held accountable to the law or if police is not held accountable to the law, then the American citizens definitely feel like they should not be held accountable to the Constitution of the United States of america. These people are causing distractions. They’re asking questions that are not relevant. The people who got hurt would not have gotten hurt if they had not ran into the Capitol building.
Wyoming seems to have plenty of FAKE PATRIOTS! party over country mentality.
People love the lie. The truth they hate. She betrayed Trump? Trump betrayed his oath to uphold the Constitution. These people are out of their minds.
Why are Republicans so stupid about truo
Trump
I feel sorry for those brainwashed Republicans of Wyoming. That shows you the level of their morality, which seems to be at ground level
Pathetic self-delusional people who are clueless about what’s best for themselves. Good grief.
Why does anyone vote for red or blue? Obvious both sides do not know how to govern.
Amazing how stupid the human mind is. Protecting the constitution has mutated into protecting Trump. Yet they are the same ones to believe 5G is going to take over their brain when they’re so gullible that even the Cheeto man with his 3rd grade education was able to round them up. Talk about sheeple.
A good reason to keep out of Wyoming.
I’d like to be the first to say
GOOD RIDDANCE
Liz Cheney I would vote for you.
Her political career is over.
How should Wyoming voters react to Cheney? They should be proud of her for doing the right thing. These Republicans are either delusional or just stupid.
Shouldn’t even be a state. Just a massive piece of uninhabited land. More people in DC and Puerta Rico.
She’s called a REAL REPUBLICAN that WYOMING people needs more of.
Next president of USA 🇺🇸 go liz truth matters
It’s amazing how much people fear Trump!!! He’s a travisty, glad she’s willing to stand against him!!! I’m a Republican and against Trump!!! Don’t fear the repercussions of my statement against such an evil man(trump). And small t is intentional, against such a man who has no concept of reality along with 74,000,000 other American’s.
The he’ll with Wyoming. What a joke . thier boy is a traitor!
They want a dictator . they need to move out of this country !
Wyoming voters so you would vote for a lier than the truth trump is a traitor to America 🇺🇸 and you don’t like liz politics I don’t think voters there understand politics 🤔
Probably never expected to survive primary when she refused to roll over.
Wyoming is full of willfully ignorant that believe trumps lie
If the Democrats like her, you know something is wrong.
It’s very sad that people have forgotten what their nation is supposed to about because they are so caught up with their idolization of Trump. I may not agree with her police but this woman is brave. She’s got something that Trump never had-INTEGRITY.
Republicans continue to show there Rottenness!!!📈😂
A Blue Wyoming for a true Democracy Wyoming! No more republican communism!!!📈
I’m not a fan of Liz Cheney’s conservative politics. But I greatly respect her for standing up for our democracy & Constitution. Wyoming voters should be very proud that they have someone like her representing them instead of a user like trump running the country into the ground just so he can hang onto power.
Trump will bring them all down to their knees they will fall and won’t rise again Liz bybybyb.
Now do a follow-up after the public hearings.
As a politician what Cheney is doing right now is the most important issue that she or any politician could face. So whether she is reelected or not her legacy will be one of bravery and truth. So many people in her state still believe the big lie and have no interest in the truth. They have no idea how close we came in this country of an Autocratic government which would have destroyed not on the Constitution , our freedoms but the very fiber of our greatness that made us the most revered and powerful country in the World.
Someone get Liz another drink.
Liz should be running for President with Kamala as her VP
There should Be NO Politics in The “United States” of America,
Unless it’s owned by the Christoper Nazis Representing the Reptilian Race from Atlantis.
looks like dumb c…. in Wyoming 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shes not taking on Trump she’s just doing the right thing and not a lot of people understand what that is anymore but seems like you can’t cure stupid.
What a bunch of goat ropers.
Liz Cheney will go down in history as a patriot…she puts country first not that traitor Trump
LC knows doing what’s right is often vilified. History tells us the brave can have many flaws. But it also shows us that despite flaws, heroes make the right call at the right time. LC is making the right call.
Shame on anyone who puts down Liz Cheney. Trump tried to take over our Democracy and he was well aware that he had lost the election and has lied to everyone, getting people killed. Spend some time watching the hearings and don’t be taken in by lies.
They’re part of an evil cult. Of course they don’t stand for what is right.
These people are so dumb it hurts. Pure insanity. If you ask them why they support Trump…what would they say?
Who are these republiklowns? Has stupidity won out?
I’m trying really hard to understand how any intelligent, well-educated, informed American would still support (or even think of supporting) Donald Trump after ALL this crazy stuff. The man is a ‘stealth conman’! The likes of Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger are the only future hope of the GOP.
I’m not a big fan of the Cheney but she is an American hero. She more courage, integrity, and bigger balls than anything coming out of Wyoming.
I’m a lifelong republican but can’t ignore the fact that Trump was trying to overthrow a fair election. Cheney is absolutely doing the right thing.
I’m a democrat and view Liz Cheney as a hero to our country. She is fighting the good fight. It still surprises me that anyone would support Donald Trump especially now that we know how he conspired to steal the election and destroy our democracy…
Thank you ☺️
I cannot understand peoples allegiance to Trump. I will never forget the level of Anxiety I, and I’m sure many experienced while he was in office.
Boot her out! She has dug her own grave. You’re finished Lizzy!!
Seems like they want a dictator or they can’t handle the truth.
NBC news can’t be trusted. NBC news lied to the public by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story before last election, and also aided and assisted the democrats by promoting the phony russian collusion propaganda lie back in the prior election. Why doesn’t NBC fess up that they were wrong and will strive to broadcast content with higher integrity in the future?
“Liz betrayed Trump”?
Are you freaking crazy?
Trump betrayed all of us.
Liz is standing up for all of us.
Repub voters must think that Jan. 6 should be hidden under the rug and not investigated?
Liz Cheney and others in Congress are trying to blame others for their cowardly action and wasting taxpayers money and time I say let vote these type of peaple out and get people who will help America not destroy it. Not to take but give back what American people need. It’s time for the rich stop taken but to give back. Greed, power has gone to their heads,that we gave to them but now it time to take it all back its time to take back our world and start to be what we supposed to be not greedy, backstabbing, two-face, cheating peaple. There are peaple out here dying starving with no homes to call their own. Please stop this insanity to all and start living a better way if we don’t then we are all doomed God help us all Please
Liz Chaney detests Trump because her father was called out by Trump for being a fake military hero and he was, when you back stab Trump and YOUR party they will come down on you with furious anger ” pulp fiction .” She went rogue and committed political suicide, good riddance to an Uber rhino!!!!!!!!!
JFK was the last US president to oppose the military/industrial complex and US-funded coups to topple elected presidents and he paid the ultimate price. The US hawks wanted JFK to nuke the USSR. Opting for peaceful coexistence with the USSR and Cuba, and ordering the withdrawal of US troops from Vietnam got JFK killed by the military-industrial complex which controls the US. LBJ reversed the order, four days after the assassination. The 20 year-long Princeton University research in 2014 revealed/confirmed the US is not a democracy or a republic, it’s a corporate-controlled oligarchy which serves the corporations not the people.
Pinhead hicks.
Cowboy is ignorant.
Liz needs to go
Wyoming knuckleheads Cheney is doing a very important job she’s presidential material
American people hate liz Cheney betrayed, American are loyalty to Gop party
What a shame that people still don’t realize Jan 6th was instigated by the Dems to make PRESIDENT TRUMP look bad
One word…integrity
Another DEMOCRAT RIGGING OF THE SYSTEM.. 9 TRUMP HATING POLITICIANS, SITTING IN JUDGEMENT OF TRUMP… yeah, this KANGAROO COURT is gonna produce an “IMPARTIAL” outcome! 🙄
So apparently, if you’re a Republican, doing anything to uncover the CRIMINAL acts of your President, is betrayal.
The charade
Liz is great and courageous! I honor her! She is honest and voters who don’t support her are treacherous
Bye Liz…
Do these voters realize she voted with Trump something like 99% of the time. She’s a lifelong staunch Republican. This is not about just Trump, it’s about our country, democracy, and the rule of law.
“…she betrayed Trump…”
Trump betrayed America. Pro-Trump is anti-American 🤷🏽♂️
Tell the truth. Cheyney trailing 56 to 28 percent you rats lol. See what flores did in a demoRat stronghold. Funny patriots have the first Mexican ever in congress
Inflation,border,Gas,stock market that’s what we need to be worried about.
The old lady with the horses, she has an accent when speaking English and looks like she snuck across the border.
Lots of leftist Dems on this NBC YouTube thread – Wow. What a surprise(!) Maybe one of them might be able to answer a question: Why is it that citizens who believed – correctly or incorrectly – they were taking a stand against what they saw as injustice while causing minor property damage and no loss of life or serious injuries are labeled “insurrectionists,” while others citizens who battered the Senate chamber door, disrupted procedures and even unlawfully detained a Senator inside an elevator during the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings, Antifa and BLM members who set fires, did million$ in property damage, assaulted and killed people, and misappropriated public and private property which they violently defended as “autonomous zones” are labeled “peaceful protesters?” Can anyone put their partisanship aside and answer that question honestly? If you can, congratulations. You understand (though you might not admit) why most Americans are tuning out, if not snickering at, the partisan, prime time shows the media and the Democrats are producing regarding Jan. 6.
How can the good rational people in Wyoming think the sun shines out of Trumps back s*de
She’s finished as a Republican
It’s like watching millions of people descend into full blown addiction and denial.
We have land and a cabin in the mountains just west of Laramie. If I had time I would move out there and establish residency just to vote against her. We need to get rid of Chaney as she is a Republican in name only…
Well not everybody is about the idea of America like the news pushes. Sad and treasonous acts are welcome in most communities: use to think lady justice was blindfolded boy was I ever so wrong today.
Unless Trump is charged for treason, the American republic will fail. Do the right thing.
I earnestly hope that Liz Cheney is defeated, not because of Trump but because she embraces the same disastrous hawkish foreign policy as her dad.
Cheney is a turn coat. She is not the person she pretends to be, vote her out.
Democrats will dump Liz like a cheap date after the hearings accomplish nothing.
What specifically do these Trump sycophants believe is the reason she is committing political and career suicide? What does she have to gain other than she’s a true patriot?
