Liz Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the J6 commitment, knows that powerful eyewitness testimony and damning facts won’t necessarily change the minds of Republican voters who believe in Donald Trump.

That’s why, you may have noticed, she has been subtly but firmly appealing to their sense of honor and loyalty, such as it is, and repeatedly reminding them that the witnesses who have testified against the former president are lifelong conservative Republicans.

Here’s what she said in closing remarks after the fifth hearing:

Let me also make a broader statement to millions of Americans who put their trust in Donald Trump.

In these hearings so far, you have heard from more than a dozen Republicans who have told you about what actually happened in the weeks before January 6.

You will hear from more in the hearings to come.

Several of them served Donald Trump and his administration. Others in his campaign. Others have been conservative Republicans for their entire careers.

It can be difficult to accept that President Trump abused your trust that He deceived you. Many will invent excuses to ignore that fact. That’s a fact. I wish it weren’t true, but it is.
