This an article that goes into detail about what she has to say, kind of long but a quick read.
Cheney says elected Republicans must be held accountable for Trump
Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney was in Missoula last week for a talk hosted by the Mansfield Center. The discussion ranged from her memory of being at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, her thoughts on supporters of Donald Trump and her lack of surprise at the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.
Cheney sat on stage at the Dennison Theater on Thursday night with former Republican Gov. Marc Racicot to talk about American democracy. Both Racicot and Cheney have faced backlash from the GOP for their criticism of the party in recent years.

People ask me how many Republican House members do you think really believe that the election was stolen? And it's not double digits. I mean there may be two, Cheney said.
She speculated who.
One of them might be one of your representatives here in Montana, Cheney said.

It was a really good speech, and dead on. But, the House GOP seems to know what their constituents want.
