Liz Cheney Urges All Americans To Respect Donald Trump’s Win

Liz Cheney has said Americans should respect the outcome of the election following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
The former congresswoman, a prominent critic of Trump, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris and appeared alongside her at several campaign events in key swing states.
In a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, Cheney said that the nation’s democratic system had worked as intended and that all Americans, “whether we like the outcome or not,” must accept the results of the election.
“Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night, and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections.
“We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press, and those serving in our federal, state, and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.”
Her father, Dick Cheney, also endorsed Harris’ unsuccessful bid for the White House.
The Trump campaign previously called the father and daughter “warmongers.”
Trump and Cheney have been embroiled in a war of words throughout the campaign.
Cheney called Trump a “cruel, unstable man” after the President-elect said that she should have “guns trained on her face.”
During an event in Glendale, Arizona, on October 31, Trump was asked by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson about his thoughts on Cheney. Trump responded sharply, calling her “a radical war hawk,” and added: “Let’s put her with the rifle, standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let’s see how she feels about it when the guns are trained on her face.”
“This is how dictators destroy free nations,” the former Wyoming representative wrote on X=. “They threaten those who speak against them with death. We cannot entrust our country and our freedom to a petty, vindictive, cruel, unstable man who wants to be a tyrant.”
A legal analyst said Trump should be “detained” over the remarks he made about former GOP Representative Cheney.
Glenn Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. attorney and frequent Trump critic, previously said: “There should be motions filed by the prosecutors in all of these cases seeking to have Donald Trump revoked on release and detained pending trial or sentencing because the evidence will warrant it and because that’s the way the law was intended to be applied to somebody in Donald Trump’s circumstances.”
Cheney, who decisively lost her seat in 2022, served as one of two Republicans on the Jan. 6 House select committee that investigated the Capitol riots.
Thousands of MAGA supporters stormed the Capitol Building to overturn the 2020 election results, following President Joe Biden’s victory.
Trump falsely claimed it was due to widespread election fraud.
