Liz Cheney was in Richmond Saturday night delivering her warning about Donald Trump.
Cheney represented Wyoming in the U.S House of Representatives and held the No. 3 leadership position in the Republican caucus. She served on the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
Her speech was this month’s offering of The Richmond Forum, a long-running public subscription lecture series. According to the president of The Forum, Cheney was booked about a year ago, before her high-profile role in the 2024 Presidential election campaign could have been known.
Cheney’s message was simple: if elected President this year, Donald Trump will destroy constitutional democracy in the United States.
Another takeaway: congressional Republicans have been infected by a “plague of cowardice.”
For her Virginia audience, Cheney had effusive praise for U.S. Representative Abigail Spanberger. She said that Spanberger was only the second Democrat she had ever endorsed.
Apparently, all the media outlets in the Richmond area were asleep.
