Former president Donald Trump has no love lost for Congresswoman
Liz Cheney, and the war of words picked up once again on
Thursday after Cheney presided over the January 6th Select
Committee's eighth public hearing.
During Thursday's hearing, Cheney referenced comments made by
Trump's former advisor, Steve Bannon, in which Bannon said that
if Trump lost, he would "do some crazy shit."
"This Committee has shown you the testimony of dozens of
Republican witnesses, those who served President Trump loyally
for years," Cheney said in her closing remarks. "The case
against Donald Trump in these hearings is not made by witnesses
who were his political enemies. It is, instead, a series of
confessions by Donald Trump’s own appointees, his own friends,
his own campaign officials, people who worked for him for years,
and his own family."
Cheney then referenced a quote that Trump made before he was
elected president.
"At one point in 2016 when he was first running for office,
Donald Trump said this: 'I could stand in the middle of 5th
Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,'"
Cheney said. "That quote came to mind last week when audio from
Trump advisor Steve Bannon surfaced from October 31st, 2020,
just a few days before the Presidential Election."
The select committee then played audio of Mr. Bannon stating
that Trump was going to say he won the presidential election,
whether he actually did or not.
He didn't.
"And, of course, four days later, President Trump declared
victory when his own campaign advisors told him he had
absolutely no basis to do so," Cheney said. "What the new Steve
Bannon audio demonstrates is that Donald Trump’s plan to falsely
claim victory in 2020 – no matter what the facts actually were –
was premeditated. Perhaps worse, Donald Trump believed he could
convince his voters to buy it, whether he had any actual
evidence of fraud or not."
Congresswoman Cheney said that Trump continued to decry the
election results up until that fateful day in early January.
"Donald Trump was confident that he could convince his
supporters the election was stolen no matter how many lawsuits
he lost," Cheney said. "And he lost scores of them. He was told
over and over again, in immense detail, that the election was
not stolen. There was no evidence of widespread fraud. It didn’t
matter. Donald Trump was confident he could persuade his
supporters to believe whatever he said, no matter how
outlandish, and ultimately that they could be summoned to
Washington to help him remain President for another term. As we
showed you last week, even President Trump’s legal team, led by
Rudy Giuliani, knew they had no actual evidence to demonstrate
the election was stolen. Again, it didn’t matter."
Cheney continued, reiterating that Trump purposefully deceived
his followers, for his own gain.
"Here is the worst part," Cheney said. "Donald Trump knows that
millions of Americans who supported him would stand up and
defend our nation were it threatened. They would put their lives
and their freedom at stake to protect her. And he is preying on
their patriotism. He is preying on their sense of justice. And
on January 6th, Donald Trump turned their love of country into a
weapon against our Capitol and our Constitution. He has
purposely created the false impression that America is
threatened by a foreign force controlling voting machines, or
that a wave of tens of millions of false ballots were secretly
injected into our election system, or that ballot workers have
secret thumb drives and are stealing elections with them. All
complete nonsense. We must remember that we cannot abandon the
truth and remain a free nation."
Needless to say, Trump did not take kindly to the comments of
Congresswoman Cheney.
On Thursday night, Trump took to his own social media Truth
Social (because he was banned from Twitter for his perceived
role in the January 6 insurrection) to denounce Cheney, as well
as the rest of the 'Unselect Committee,' as he put it.
Trump seemingly live tweeted (or, live...truth social'd?) the
hearing, offering various comments throughout the evening and
presenting his own side to the story.

Trump specifically called out Congresswoman Cheney too,
reigniting the war of words that the two have had since January
of 2021.

Then, proving that he will not back down from his stance, just
as sure as Liz Cheney won't back down from hers, reiterated that
he believes the election was stolen.

reconvenes in September. Video of Congresswoman Cheney's full
