multi--proged effort was. >> was it a conspiracy. certainly. do you believe there was a conspiracy? >> i do. i'll really chilling. chen kbri was once the -- cheney was once a republican party leader. she angered mccarthy. he was recently issued a subpoena by the panel but he has refused to testify claiming the committee is illegitimate. >> what keeps kevin mccarthy close to trump, fear or something else? >> i think some of it is fear. i think it's also craving political calculation. i think he has decided the most important things to home him is to be supporting the house. he is embracing those who are

anti- anti-semetic. he is embracing those who are white nationalists. he's lying about what happened on january 6th and he's turned his back on the constitution. >> reporter: yet your colleagues continue to back him. >> i've never seen anything like it before. i think it reflects and represents the danger of this moment. >> mccarthy has publicly. cheney is now battling for re-election. >> i'm asking for your vote because this is a fight we must win. >> the forces a lined against her include wyoming democratic chair man. cheney says her job right now is a moral test. is this a moral test? >> absolutely. right now we're failing.

republicans to attend the house commemoration of the capitol attack. >> you know, we sat down and we were in the front row of the house chamber and he looked behind him and he turned back to me and he said, it's one thing to watch the news and read about what's happened to our party. he said, it is really another thing to be here and see all of this and not see another republican. >> reporter: cheney says she frequently seeks her father's counsel and as she seeks inspiration at this crossroads for the committee, she looks even further back into her family's history. >> i've thought a lot recently, especially about my great, great-grandfather who fought in the union army in the civil war, and i think about what he did. i think about what generations have done to hand to us this

incredible jewel. this unbelievable blessing in this country. you know, i am going to do everything possible that i can do to make sure that, you know, one irrational dangerous former president doesn't destroy that. >> is it a coincident that you think about civil war? >> we are thankfully not at civil war but we are at a time of testing. we are absolutely at a moment where we have to make a decision whether we're going to put our love of the country above partisanship. every american should be able to say we love our country more.
