Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney says GOP candidates for Arizona governor and secretary of state pose a risk for democracy because both say they will refuse to certify election results if they don’t like them.
PHOENIX — Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney on Wednesday said the Republican candidates for Arizona governor and secretary of state pose a huge risk for democracy because both say they will refuse to certify election results if they don't like the results.
She said both looked at Trump's 2020 loss in Arizona, and both know that it was carried out following state law, and that there were counts, recounts, audits and court challenges that all went against Trump. “The first thing that we have to understand is that we’ve never been where we are,” Cheney said. “We’ve never been in a phase, a place where we’re facing this kind of a threat. And that’s because we’re facing a threat from a former president who is attempting to unravel the Republic.”
Cheney, who said her first vote was for Ronald Reagan and is a traditional conservative Republican who favors low taxes and international engagement by the United States, also took shots at Fox News Channel. “And that means that you put your love of country above politics, you put it above your political career,” she said.
She pointed to what she called “a growing Putin wing of the Republican Party,” referring to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
