Cheney hits 'Trump cult of personality,' says she'll keep speaking out
By Mychael Schnell - 05/05/21 05:38 PM EDT


House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.) on Wednesday urged the GOP to steer away from what she called a "Trump cult of personality" while vowing to continue speaking out amid backlash from her congressional colleagues.

Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, has come under increasing attack from GOP lawmakers over her vote to impeach former President Trump earlier this year. In a Washington Post op-ed Wednesday afternoon, Cheney said she stood by her earlier criticisms of Trump and called on the party to back away from his claims that the 2020 election was stolen, saying he is “seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure.”

“Trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work — confidence in the result of elections and the rule of law. No other American president has ever done this,” Cheney wrote.

Cheney pushed back on rising pressure and criticism she has received in recent weeks and vowed to “defend the basic principles that underpin and protect” freedom and the U.S. democratic process.

“History is watching. Our children are watching. We must be brave enough to defend the basic principles that underpin and protect our freedom and our democratic process. I am committed to doing that, no matter what the short-term political consequences might be,” she wrote.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Trump would not have shut down leasing and drilling permits in half the State, nor would he  have declared war on the considerable coal industry there. You have chosen to side against your constituents, Ms. Cheney, and should be removed asap.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I wonder what demographic she's playing to. It ain't the base.

Please keep talking Lezzie.  Don't let your voters forget your treachery.

Cheney's advice to daughter: 'Don't screw it up'
The Hill, May 3, 2019

Dick Cheney had this piece of advice for his daughter after Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-Wyo.) election to House leadership: “Don’t screw it up.”

Liz Cheney relayed the anecdote during an appearance on Rep. Sean Duffy’s (R-Wis.) “Plaidcast” podcast, saying the former vice president offered the advice while visiting on the day of her election as conference chair.

“It was really special for me to have him there,” she said. “And I did ask his advice — and he's warmer and fuzzier than his public persona — but the advice he gave was pretty vintage Dick Cheney. He said, ‘Liz, just don't screw it up.’ ”

Ol Dick was pretty savvy - I’m pretty sure he would consider going to war with your base ‘screwing it up’.

If Rodents like Cheney want to restore the public's faith in the integrity of elections, the first thing they have to do is stop stealing elections.

Trump's wasn't the first election they stole.
The GOP is not the party leadership.  The GOP is the party MEMBERSHIP.   The members need to kick the leaders out if they leaders are going the wrong way.  No coddling allowed.

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion
I think Liz should go right on attacking Trump and his supporters, it's worked out so well for her so far. As a matter of fact I think she should amp it up a couple of notches.

Looks like she's aiming for a spot on CNN or MSLSD or The View.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.
