by from US news | The Guardian on (#60XRD)
The Republican US representative Liz Cheney has said Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election were 'more chilling and more threatening' than first imagined, while calling on Republicans to choose between loyalty to Trump and the constitution.
Cheney, a commanding presence on the congressional panel investigating the January 6 Capitol riot by Trump supporters, warned against descending into vitriolic partisan attacks that could tear the political fabric of the country apart and urged her audience to rise above politics.
'My fellow Americans, we stand at the edge of an abyss, and we must pull back,' she said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California
