Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) supports impeaching President Trump for “summon[ing] the mob” that invaded the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Cheney put out a statement on Tuesday evening, saying that “there has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the United States of his office and his oath to the Constitution” than Trump’s actions on Jan. 6.
“On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic,” Cheney said in a statement.

Everything that followed was his doing,” she continued. “None of this would have happened without the President.
