Jan. 6 committee member and Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney on Thursday released an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, assuring those who criticize the panel's Capitol riot investigation that their taunts and threats go in one ear and out the other.
Titled "The Jan. 6 Committee Won't Be Intimated," the op-ed begins with Cheney recounting the oath her great-great-grandfather made when he re-enlisted in the Union Army in 1863, the same oath that's been made by generations of Americans since — the promise to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic."
