Quotes from the news wire:

I really believe that if Liz Cheney had not seen the whole party moving, Liz Cheney would not have moved either. And that, to me, is indicative of the problem we have in Congress that people are waiting until they feel they're safe. I think Liz Cheney thought Liz Cheney was safe. Liz Cheney moved. Now Liz Cheney's got no choice, Liz Cheney can't backtrack.

I'd like to see some real development when people learn. Like, what is it that changed your mind ? Liz Cheney, what is it that you saw that made it so different for you versus how Donald Trump was behaving, say, before January 6th ? I mean, I don't think there was any radical difference there. It was the same, what, because the outcome was different ? Because that was the one time they stormed the Capitol ?

Everyone has the right to protest. And I think the governor overreached in a lot of ways. And that upset a lot of people in the state of Michigan, but when we protest, we have to do it in a way that is appropriate. I totally denounce and condemn Nazi symbols that were used in some of the protests. I think it's a terrible idea to come into the capitol with weapons, bearing weapons, knowing that it might be perceived as some form of intimidation toward legislators. So, I denounce those things. But everyone has the right to protest.
