Cheney: Trump Calls for a Firing Squad

Liz Cheney, the Republican vice chair of the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack on the Capitol, has accused former President Donald Trump of calling for a "firing squad" against those who opposed his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

In a blistering statement released on July 21, 2023, Cheney directly implicated Trump in a series of events that culminated in the attack on the Capitol, claiming that he "summoned a mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack."

Cheney's statement, delivered on the eve of the committee's final public hearing, is a culmination of months of investigation and testimony, revealing a disturbing picture of Trump's actions leading up to and during the attack.

Key Takeaways from Cheney's Statement:

• Trump's Call for Action: Cheney alleged that Trump, despite knowing his claims of election fraud were baseless, intentionally incited violence by calling on his supporters to "fight like hell" and "take back our country."
• Trump's Knowledge of Potential Violence: Cheney cited evidence suggesting Trump was aware of the potential for violence, yet continued to fuel the flames of unrest.
• Trump's Failure to Act: Cheney accused Trump of being "a coward" for failing to call off the attack while it was underway, highlighting his "dereliction of duty" as President.
• The "Firing Squad" Call: Cheney's statement made the most shocking allegation, claiming that Trump called for the "execution of those who had the courage to stand up to him" during a January 6th meeting with lawmakers. This alleged call was not explicitly mentioned in the committee's public hearings.

These allegations have sent shockwaves through American politics, reigniting the debate about Trump's role in the January 6th attack and his potential liability for the violence.

The committee's final public hearing, scheduled for July 21st, is expected to focus on Trump's actions during the attack, as well as his efforts to obstruct the transfer of power. The committee's findings, including evidence of Trump's actions and potential crimes, will be presented to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution.

Cheney's statement serves as a stark reminder of the gravity of the January 6th attack and the potential threat posed by those who continue to embrace Trump's dangerous rhetoric. It is a call for accountability and a reminder of the fragility of American democracy.
