With just under four weeks until Election Day, former Rep. Liz Cheney was in Glenside, Pennsylvania, Wednesday night, talking about another day — one that happened 1,372 days ago: Jan. 6, 2021.
That was the day a violent mob overran police at the Capitol in an effort to overturn the 2020 election — a day that turned a lifelong Republican like Cheney into a swing voter — and it’s a day that Cheney hopes will convince other Americans like her to oppose Donald Trump and support Kamala Harris.
“Every single one of us has a responsibility and an obligation to remember the facts,” Cheney said as she addressed the crowd in Montgomery County. “To remember that on Jan. 6, of 2021, when Donald Trump woke up, his intention was that he would stay in office despite having lost the election.”
