Vice Chair Liz Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, told ABC News of
"firsthand testimony" that Trump's daughter Ivanka, then a West Wing
adviser, twice asked him to intervene in a melee in which police
officers were beaten by his crowd.
Cheney
did, however, warn that Trump's conduct was so egregious that he should
not be allowed anywhere near power again, as the former President
considers a potential new tilt at the White House in 2024.
"This
is a man who has demonstrated that he's at war with the rule of law.
He's demonstrated that he's willing to blow through every guardrail of
democracy," Cheney said on CBS News' "Face the Nation" on Sunday. "And
he can never be anywhere near the Oval Office again."
On
the face of it, a refusal by the commander in chief to intervene to
stop an assault on the citadel of American democracy during the process
of certifying Biden's election is a clear infringement of his oath of
office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
