"The Lincoln Project has said that the Republican Party is at an end and that the modern GOP has become a "nationalist cult" dedicated to Donald Trump.
"Tonight, the nation marks the end of the Republican Party. What remains shares the name and branding of the traditional GOP, but is in fact an authoritarian nationalist cult dedicated only to Donald Trump," the Lincoln Project's statement read.
"Liz Cheney stood up to the lawless, reckless attack on our nation led by Donald Trump and millions of Americans saw leadership that transcended ideological boundaries," the group said.
"Liz Cheney showed America what a dedicated public servant driven by principle is like; it's no wonder today's GOP hates her," the statement read, going on to call Cheney an "essential leader of the pro-democracy forces in the United States today."
