Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., called on her colleagues to cut off former President Donald Trump as his second Senate impeachment trial is set to begin this week.

Cheney, the third-ranking House Republican, was one of 10 House Republicans to vote in favor of impeaching Trump last month for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Cheney was censured by her state party over the vote and is facing a primary challenge, though she easily won a vote of confidence last week to remain House Republican Conference chair.

"We have to take a really hard look at who we are and what we stand for, what we believe in," Cheney told "Fox News Sunday." "I think that when you look at both [Trump's] actions leading up to Jan. 6, that he was impeached in a bipartisan fashion, the fact that he lost the presidency, the fact that we lost the Senate. We have to be in a position where we can say we stand for principles, for ideals."

"We should not be embracing the former president," she added.

1. Wyoming Republicans will censure her again, or may kick her out of the party.

It's a death cult.

2. GQP DOES stand for ideals: greed, racism, pollution, corruption

Get with the program, Liz. You've let your herd get out in front on so many issues. A good GQP leader follows their flock!

4. Good advice---not a chance of it being followed.

The self-destructive nature of present-day republicans really appeals to me.

5. "Embracing"..."embracing"...not exactly the word I would use...

but it is used in a syntactically correct manner.
