Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) said those who spread the false claim that the election was stolen is “poisoning our democratic system.”
“The 2020 presidential election was not stolen,” Cheney tweeted. “Anyone who claims it was is spreading THE BIG LIE, turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system.”
Earlier on Monday, Donald Trump released a statement calling President Biden’s victory in the November election ‘the big lie”.
“The Fraudulent Presidential Election of 2020 will be, from this day forth, known as THE BIG LIE!” Trump said in the statement.
Cheney is one of 10 House Republicans to have voted to impeach Trump for inciting a mob to attack the Capitol and interfere with the counting of the Electoral College results on Jan. 6.
Trump has vowed to endorse any Republican primary candidate who runs against Cheney in the upcoming 2022 midterm elections.
