Embattled Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, scorned by her party for working with Democrats on the Jan. 6 riot investigation, linked the tumultuous event to Russia’s attack on Ukraine in a bid to get people to focus on problems larger than political infighting.

Speaking this week to members of the centrist Republican Ripon Society, she said, “Some things have to matter,” pointing to the violent Capitol protest of President Joe Biden’s election certification and the fight for democracy in Ukraine.
