Liz Cheney Hides Behind Pardon While Calling Trump a “Liar” Over Pelosi J6 Comment [WATCH]

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) wasted no time lambasting newly inaugurated President Donald Trump, accusing him of lying during his remarks at the Capitol’s rotunda, as reported by Breitbart.

Her fiery reaction came just hours after she received a controversial preemptive pardon from outgoing President Joe Biden.

Cheney, known for her participation in the January 6 Committee, accused Trump of perpetuating falsehoods while deflecting from her own accountability.

During his inaugural address, Trump addressed the chaos surrounding January 6, 2021, calling out former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for allegedly rejecting his offer to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops in advance of the day’s events.

“Think of it, 10,000 soldiers. In other words, J6 wouldn’t be J6. There would have been no J6,”

Trump said, pointing the finger at Pelosi for what he suggested was a deliberate failure.

He went further, alleging the January 6 Committee, spearheaded by Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), “destroyed all evidence” related to the Capitol breach.

“Maybe she [Pelosi] wanted that to happen,” Trump speculated. “But she’s guilty as hell. And now we have to go through the process because they destroyed all evidence.”

Trump’s claims echo footage showing Pelosi taking responsibility for the lack of preparedness.

In the footage, Pelosi admitted, “We did not have any accountability for what was going on there, and we should have.”

🚨 Since January 6, 2021, Nancy Pelosi spent 3+ years and nearly $20 million creating a narrative to blame Donald Trump.

She also acknowledged the absence of the National Guard, saying, “I take responsibility for not having them just prepare for more.”

Cheney, however, used Trump’s speech as an opportunity to hurl her own accusations.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, she blasted, “Trump’s remarks in the Capitol Visitor Center today were a reminder that neither lies nor the liar who tells them get better with age.”

She doubled down, claiming,

“The Select Committee evidence is available on multiple websites, and as a criminal defendant, Donald Trump has had access to all the transcripts for years. Remember Trump’s character: He sat in his dining room watching on television as his supporters attacked our Capitol and brutally assaulted law enforcement. For hours, he refused to instruct the mob to leave. The truth will never change.”

Cheney’s fiery rhetoric seemed to ignore the unresolved questions about the January 6 Committee’s handling of evidence and Pelosi’s own admissions of unpreparedness.

Convenient timing, some might say, given Biden’s parting gift of a preemptive pardon to Cheney, raising eyebrows across the political spectrum.

Trump’s comments—and Cheney’s retort—set the stage for a contentious term ahead, with fresh questions swirling around the integrity of investigations, accountability, and political maneuvering. While Cheney basks in Biden’s favor, Trump signals he’s ready for a fight, armed with pointed accusations and promises to expose what he sees as glaring truths.
