DETROIT, Oct. 22, 2024 ~ Liz Cheney, former U.S. representative for Wyoming, continued her tour against presidential candidate Donald Trump during a stop at the Detroit Economic Club.
Following Cheney’s speech to the DEC on Tuesday, she told WJR‘s Paul W. Smith that the Trump-fueled insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 reminded her of the 9/11 attacks. “One of the things that struck me as I was watching video footage from Jan. 6, when I saw Vice President (Mike) Pence being rushed down the steps in the Capitol by his Secret Service detail, it immediately brought me back to an image of my dad on Sept. 11 being rushed down the steps of the White House into the bunker by his Secret Service detail,” Cheney said.
“Not to compare the tragedy of the two days, obviously, we lost 3,000 people on Sept. 11, but to be in a situation where my dad had to be rushed out of his office because al-Qaeda was attacking us. On Jan. 6, Pence, when he was evacuated, President Trump was watching the attack on television (and) was told that his vice president had to be evacuated.“
