Congresswoman Liz Cheney Is the Latest Republican Calling on Trump to Prove Fraud Claims in Court

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney urged Donald Trump's legal team to support their varied election fraud claims with evidence or cease attempts to challenge results in court last week.

In a statement released Friday, the congresswoman and House Republican Conference Chair called on the sitting president to respect "the sanctity of our electoral process" amid a flurry unsubstantiated allegations about corruption and misconduct, which have become the focus of more than two dozen lawsuits filed on behalf of his re-election campaign.

"America is governed by the rule of law. The President and his lawyers have made claims of criminality and widespread fraud, which they allege could impact election results. If they have genuine evidence of this, they are obligated to present it immediately in court and to the American people," said Cheney in last week's statement.

"I understand that the President has filed more than thirty separate lawsuits. If he is unsatisfied with the results in those lawsuits, then the appropriate avenue is to appeal," the congresswoman continued. "If the President cannot prove these claims or demonstrate that they would change the election result, he should fulfill his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States by respecting the sanctity of our electoral process."

Then again, I don't think we'll see too many people associated with, or related to, people from the George W Bush administration who will be too supportive of Trump after what he said about the Bushes during the Republican Primaries.

Kudos to Liz for keeping the ball rolling.
