Cheney Accuses Fellow Republicans of Urging her to Lie About Trump and January 6 in Commencement Speech

Liz Cheney gave a commencement speech at Colorado College, urging graduates to not compromise on the truth and criticizing her Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat Donald Trump's lies about the 2020 election being stolen.
Cheney recalled being asked by fellow Republicans to lie about the election and the January 6th attack on the Capitol, which led to her losing her position in House leadership.
Cheney touched on themes she has promoted since leaving office, including her work on the House committee investigating the January 6th attack and standing up to the threat she believes Trump poses to democracy.
Cheney encouraged more women to run for office and criticized election-denying attorneys who worked for Trump, including Cleta Mitchell, who recently made remarks about college students voting.
Cheney's busy speaking schedule and subject matter have fueled speculation about whether she may enter the 2024 GOP presidential primary, but she has not yet announced her plans.
