Cheney says a lot of GOP lawmakers have privately encouraged her fight against Trump

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney (Wyo.) in a new interview said a number of GOP lawmakers have privately encouraged her high-profile fight against former President Trump.

Cheney - during an interview with Lesley Stahl on CBS's "60 Minutes" that is airing on Sunday - said GOP senators and House members have secretly encouraged her anti-Trump efforts.

"Have members of Congress, Republicans, come up to you privately and whispered in your ear, 'Way to go, Liz' and encouraged you but won't come forward and say that publicly?" Stahl asked Cheney.

"Yes," Cheney responded.

When asked if "a lot" of lawmakers have taken part in such encouragement, Cheney replied, "Yes," adding, "Both in the House and the Senate."

Those encouraging her need to step up themselves.

Her colleagues are using her as a human shield. She's bulletproof, her father's network protects her, tfg can't touch her or influence her so she's the only one who can go after him, and anyone who actually feels it's worth losing their career to save the country.
