JOHN DICKERSON: After losing her 2022 Republican primary, Cheney traded the U.S. Capitol dome for the Thomas Jefferson-designed rotunda at the University of Virginia, where she has been lecturing on politics and writing a new book, "Oath and Honor." 

Let me ask you about that oath. If a person is a member of Congress and they have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution, can they defend the Constitution and also endorse Donald Trump?

LIZ CHENEY: No. It isn’t consistent.

DICKERSON: So they are breaking with their oath by saying they would like him to be the next president? 

CHENEY: In my view, you know, fundamentally, there is a choice to be made. You can't be for Donald Trump and for the Constitution. You have to choose. 

DICKERSON: It's a lot of people who are choosing Donald Trump. 

CHENEY: Yeah. It is.
