Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) made a plea to New Hampshire voters to
take a stand against what she calls “cowardice” in the Republican party
when they head to the polls later this month.

Cheney slammed the faction of her party that has devoted itself to former President Trump in remarks made at Dartmouth College on Friday, the eve of
the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

“In a little over two weeks when you in New Hamshire go to the polls the
world will be watching,” Cheney, who has emerged as one of Trump’s most outspoken critics, said of the upcoming first-in-the-nation primary.

She added, “Show the world that we will defeat the plague of cowardice
sweeping through the Republican party.”

Cheney, once a prominent member of the GOP, split with much of her party
in the aftermath of the insurrection and her subsequent vote to impeach
Trump.

“As a nation, we have arrived at a point where a group of elected
Republicans cannot be counted on to defend the Constitution,” she said
Friday.

Since being voted out of office in 2022, the former Wyoming lawmaker has
made several warnings about what she feels could happen if Trump is
reelected. She doubled down on her claims Friday, arguing the former president’s actions and attempt to seize power only “threaten the very foundations of our democracy.”

Her comments come in the lead-up to the Jan. 23 New Hampshire GOP primary. Polls show Trump maintaining his leading status among Granite State
voters, although rival Nikki Haley has been narrowing the gap in recent
weeks.

Primary voting season for the Republican Party begins in less than two
weeks, when the Iowa caucuses take place on Jan. 15.
