Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the No. 3 House Republican, tore into President Trump over his response to Wednesday riots in and around the Capitol that delayed Congress’s certification of the Electoral College results, The Hill reports.
Said Cheney: “What he has done and what he has caused here is something that we’ve never seen before in our history. It’s been 245 years, and no president has ever failed to concede or agree to leave office after the Electoral College has voted, and I think what we are seeing today is the result of that, the result of convincing people that somehow Congress was going to overturn the results of this election, the results of suggesting that he wouldn’t leave office.”
She added: “Those are very, very dangerous things, and he will be remembered, this will be part of his legacy, and it is a dangerous moment for the country.”
