Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is comparing former President Trump’s election claims to those of the Chinese Communist Party, concluding “it’s very dangerous and damaging.”
“When you listen to Donald Trump talk now, when you hear the language he’s using now, it is essentially the same things that the Chinese Communist Party, for example, says about the United States and our democracy,” Cheney said on “The Axe Files” podcast, which was released on Monday.
“When he says that our system doesn’t work … when he suggests that it’s, you know, incapable of conveying the will of the people, you know, that somehow it’s failed — those are the same things that the Chinese government says about us,” Cheney continued. “It’s very dangerous and damaging … and it’s not true.”

During the podcast interview, Cheney also condemned House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for meeting with Trump in Mar-a-Lago following the Jan 6. attack at the Capitol by the former president’s supporters.
She said she was “stunned” when she saw McCarthy meeting with Trump, adding, “I could not imagine any justification for doing that.”
She said Trump committed the “most dangerous” and “most egregious” violation of an oath of office of any president in history, and McCarthy’s meeting with the former president was “inexcusable.”
“And so the idea that a few weeks after he did that, the leader of the Republicans in the House would be at Mar-a-Lago, essentially, you know, pleading with him to somehow come back into the fold, or whatever it was he was doing, to me was inexcusable,” she said.
