Congresswomen Liz Cheney on Tuesday announced that she would vote to impeach Donald j trump for a historical second time in his presidency and I endorse her for doing this and standing up to her party president.

Liz Cheney daughter of Former Vice president Richard Cheney is a republican who represents Wyoming at large congressional district in congress and is the only women in republican leadership serving as the third highest Republican and chair of the republican house conference. On Tuesday she told her conference that the impeachment vote was one of conscience for the conference who is blind loyal to trump expect for a handful of moderate republicans.

I believe she and handful of republicans in congress have had enough of Donald trump and the presidency he had delivered. He has wasted and destroyed the moderate version of the Republican Party and turned it into the trump party. He has also disrespected Cheney on multiple occasions leading to a fractured relationship.

The events of last week did not help their relationship when trump did nothing for an hour when his supporters attack our flag of the democracy he so cherishes to destroy from us. He did nothing to stop the violence which led to 5 dead that could have been her or any other person in the capital who is on the side of democracy.

On Wednesday she and 9 of her republican colleagues did the very brave thing and voted to impeach Donald J trump. 4 more did not vote which still shows bravery in a party that is fractured and still loyal to Donald j trump. Many of trump biggest supporters in congress voted no as they saw the violence as acceptable and are been rewarded with medals of freedom e.g. Jim Jordan of Ohio. However trump will remember the people who voted to impeach him and he will do something about this what we don’t know but we must all be scared about this as he said be careful what you wish for. This scares me as I don’t know what he do as his unpredictable.

Liz Cheney is very brave as due to her action she may be pushed out of her leadership position or McCarthy might replace her and put her in ranking member of a committee and replace her with someone like Jim Jordan or matt gatexz who both has shown blind loyalty to Donald j trump. He will endorse primary challenges against every republican who voted to impeach and every republican who votes to convict in the senate when the trial is held.

Every moderate republican in congress will be afraid of what this president might do when he leaves office he has destroyed political careers e.g. Justin Amash of Michigan and Senator Jeff flake of Arizona and would do it again. Liz Cheney if she runs for president in the future might have just shrunk her base to women and moderate republicans with voting to impeach Donald j trump on Wednesday .She might run for the speakership which will be increasingly hard to get and might just of destroyed her chance of being the running mate of any conservative republican in 2024.However she had committee political heroism and she is a hero in my eyes for the future of nation. She will remember in history as the women who stood up to Donald j trump at one of the most important times in our history.

Let me finish by quoting President Lincoln as this speech speaks lots about last week attack. one of best president in our history Lincoln at his Gettysburg address said “these dead shall not have died in vain that this Nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”.
