Whatever It Takes: A Conversation with Rep. Liz Cheney

Starting at 6:00 PM ET: Join us live in the JFK Jr. Forum as Congresswoman Liz Cheney speaks with former governor of Wyoming Matt Mead and Harvard College student Hannah Bottarel ‘24 about her work in Congress, the future of the Republican Party, and the state of our democracy.

[@pmmk24]

Bravo Liz Cheney . I’m a Democrat , but I thank you for having a moral compass that knew the difference between an allegiance to the Republican party led by an insane and corrupt man and an allegiance to the Constitution and democracy . I may not agree with you on policy , but you will always have my admiration and respect . 🇺🇸

[@jascam1]

As an independent I would gladly volunteer my time to ms Chaney should she decide to restore the office of the U.S. President to decency.

[@leafuller3153]

Excellent program ! So happy she was given Profiles in Courage award ! Well deserved !

[@aaronhteikk4487]

She is calm, cool, collected. Not a single shrill word. And a normal sense of humour. A real, authentic person.

Never thought I’d be a Liz Cheney fan but she is definitely a profile in courage standing up for our democracy and founding principles in the face of Trump’s numerous transgressions 🤔👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@SeptemberAdam]

Think we Democratic progressive libs need as much Republican allies (such as Liz) as much as possible. Of course Channey isn't perfect. Not by a long shot. But she's much MORE better than nothing at all to counteract the crude authoritarian elemnents in todays US Republican Bloc, seemingly having, exercising more power and authority than rightly theirs. It's a start man. A start. So just chill out you purist progressive libs leftist screaming and hollering "But she's still worse than a Nazi and hates Black, Native American, and Mexican people!!!!" Blah blah, scream and holler and all that jazz!

The republican party is very disheartening in these times. They used to stand for all the right things, and now we only see corruption and obstruction. I commend Liz Cheney for her unbiased look at the party and America's needs. She and Kinzinger stood strong in the Jan 6th committee, and deserves recognized for their commitment to our nation.

[@danielceschini4986]

Thank you and Adam, for standing for democracy.

[@pauljebb6921]

One of unintended consequences of Jan 6th was a spotlight on great Americans heroes that few of us were aware of: Ruby Freeman , Shaye Moss, Brad Raffensperger, Rusty Bowers, Adam Kinzinger, Michael Fanone, Cassidy Hutchison, Liz Cheney, and so many others. That is a source of great hope for this democracy, “if we can keep it.” Thank you Ms. Cheney for your wonderful profiles in courage.

We need more Republicans like you, a person with honor and a conscience.

[@Erschophone]

Liz Cheney's contribution to the Jan. 6th committee is to be lauded. BUT, she never questions the role that she or her father played in the evolution of the current-day Republican party. As Bush jr. was not a very proactive figure, her father was virtual President for the first 8 years of this century. Bush/Cheney crimes in Iraq are comparable in seriousness to the crimes of the Trump administration.

Disagreement is not the issue. Racism versus white entitlement is the issue, and the future of democracy will depend on the agreement that the outcome of this issue will be determined by progressive rather than regressive policies. Those who wish to preserve racism in whatever form it takes has monied, corporate interests lobbying to preserve it. The rule of law must be applied in order to preserve our freedom. Consider the lobby that supports guns and killing so powerful that our society becomes inure to innocent children being assassinated by armed and dangerous mentally ill individuals. This is a lethal imbalance that is not supported by the citizenry. Consider also the donation of billions to campaigns which support candidates who oppose a fractured racist, sexist and ageist health care system.

Is she, and the few who support her, trying to assume the role of dictator and decide who and what America should have ruling over them rather than allowing them the right to make that kind of decision for themselves?
