Liz Cheney believes former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from the ballot, but said „we have to be prepared to ensure that we can defeat him at the ballot box.“
Former GOP Rep. of Wyoming said Sunday that she believes former President Donald Trump should be disqualified from the ballot, saying his behavior related to the on the U.S. Capitol „certainly“ falls under the of the 14th Amendment.
„If you look at the select committee’s work, we made a criminal referral with respect to the part of the 14th Amendment that talks about providing aid and comfort to an insurrection,“ Cheney, who served on the congressional Jan. 6 select committee, told „Face the Nation.“ „I certainly believe that Donald Trump’s behavior rose to that level. I believe that he ought to be disqualified from holding office in the future.“
The Supreme Court has from Colorado’s top court that barred Trump from the state’s primary ballot, citing the Constitution’s insurrection clause. The clause bars a person who has sworn an oath to the Constitution and engages in insurrection from holding public office.
