==Eagle Forum Position==
During August, 2018, the [[Eagle Forum]] praised Cheney’s dedication to conservative policies and her approval for the Pres. Trump’s pro-life agenda on issues such as Title X reform and other policies.

On May 13, 2021, the Eagle Forum commended House Minority Leader [[Kevin McCarthy]] and House [[Republican]]s for ousting Liz Cheney from her position as Chair of the Republican Conference. Eagle Forum President Colleen Holcomb was quoted as saying: “Disagreements about political issues are inevitable and should not disqualify legislators from leadership, but when Liz Cheney blamed the violence and lawlessness of a few rogue actors on President [[Trump]] and the thousands of law-abiding Americans who gathered at the Capitol on January 6th to peacefully protest widespread election irregularities, she broke faith with the grassroots of her Party and disqualified herself from leadership.” <ref>https://eagleforum.org/publications/press-releases/mccarthy-and-house-gop-commended-for-ousting-cheney.html</ref>
