Profile in Courage awards honor commitments to protecting democracy

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY):

President Kennedy said, in the long history of freedom, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger.

Today, that role is ours, as we face the threat we have never faced before, a former president attempting to unravel our constitutional republic. At this moment, we must all summon the courage to stand against that.

The question for every one of us is, in this time of testing, will we do our duty? Will we defend our Constitution? Will we stand for truth? Will we put duty to our oath above partisan politics? Or will we look away from danger, ignore the threats, embrace the lies, and enable the liar?
