violence and actually, some super interesting parallels there. while liz cheney is, you know, engaged in the january 6th committee, which some of people in wyoming have criticized her for being too focused on a national issue, it actually has direct implications for what is going on in wyoming, which is currently grappling with its own hostile takeover of the republican party with far-right extremists and militias. proud boys who are trying to gain political power at a very local level and have so far actually been successful in doing so. so, these threats of violence are real, and these coordinated efforts might not be happening at the same scale that we saw on january 6th and that all much of the country was able to witness, but they are still happening at a very local level, deliberately, in order for these groups to accumulate more power. such a scary moment. clint watts, jackie, joyce vance, all sticking around. when we come back, we ll be
this is just sort of a picture perfect moment of what happened to the republican party. it is no longer a classic political party in the way that we thought of american political parties for one representative an ideology that would be more center right, one represented center left. you could argue which had the best policy given any particular issue. that is out the window now. it s just about power. that s it. what they don t like about liz cheney is, think about it, she is trying to be part of a process to get to the bottom of the most successful terrorist attack on the united states capitol since 1812. and that s a crime in the republican party? because it might implicate republicans. it will implicate republicans. they were the ones who did it. so she has to be banished.
they win the house next his leadership position if they win the house. mccarthy is feeding the alligator hoping the alligator will eat him last. it ll never work. you know, there is a certain clarity in this moment. it is sort of like no pretense anymore. we can t pretend the republican party is about conservativism. i mean, there are a few members of the house that have a more conservative few members of the house have a more conservative record than liz cheney. she is a cheney. it is just about an autocratic movement that is oriented around a strong man and if you don t recognize that and submit to it, then you ll be purged. it is straight out of the soviet union. just about a year ago liz cheney did survive a push to remove her as conference chair for voting to impeach donald trump. mccarthy defended her at the time. watch this. liz cheney our conference chair who just got a resounding
law. liz cheney said so much yesterday, you can be for the rule of law and donald trump. liz cheney is, again, the only one with a whatever word you want to use spine to do what needs to be done if you want to save the republican party. i know she made strange bed fellows by taking on this notion. but she doesn t see trump she sees it as sort of a parasite that has taken over the party she loves. i made a different conclusion conclusion. i left the party, i don t think it can be saved. the only way to save the party is to destroy the parasite. no one is underestimate what liz cheney is willing to do if they have the goods to hold the ones for the crimes they need to be held accountable for. she s going to go as far as
guilty to allegations he traveled to washington, d.c., with two other suspects armed. the whole slew of weapons and ammunition, and it comes as we re also learning even more about what happens inside the capitol on that day. thanks to the new book we ve been talking about, the book describes a conversation between liz cheney and general mark milley the day after the insurrection. quote, how are you doing, he asked her. that bleeping guy, jim jordan, that son of a cany said, referring to. he said, quote, we need to get the ladies away from the aisle. let me help you. i smacked his hand and told him get away from me you bleeping did this. you did this. wow. liz cheney is, of course, the only republican so far named to the january 6th select committee to investigate the insurrection.
