The anti-Trump Republican warned Monday that if Trump were elected again, he would not surround himself with the moderating voices and advisors he did in his first term, but instead essentially employ sycophants to forward his agenda.
“[W]e don’t have to guess about what next President Trump would do, because he did it before, and he would not have around him the people that were around him,” she said, adding some former aides like ex-Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., will reportedly testify as witnesses in Trump’s forthcoming Atlanta trial.
“[That includes such] people that told him on January 6… that he needed to tell the mob to go home: People who told him that what he was doing was illegal. Those people won’t be around him,” she said, warning that court rulings are a fundamental safeguard of the republic, expressing concern over whether Trump could refuse to enforce countervailing rulings.
Cheney, who recently released a memoir and “warning,” “Oath & Honor,” wrote in the book that it is hard to tell whether the “story of January 6 is nearing its end or only just beginning.
