ERICKSON: The Truth Behind The Cheney Story
By  Erick Erickson

May 15, 2021   DailyWire.com

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney is out as Republican conference chair in the House of Representatives. The story has dominated American news outlets over the past week. Most Americans are probably hard-pressed to care about the story, but to the political press in the United States, the story has mattered deeply.

This past Tuesday night, as rockets rained down on Tel Aviv from Gaza, the press was focused on Cheney’s pending ouster, which happened Wednesday morning. On Wednesday afternoon, while President Joe Biden was holding a press conference about the Colonial Pipeline shutdown, MSNBC was holding a panel discussion about Cheney and the future of the Republican Party. Chris Cillizza, CNN’s regurgitator of convention hot takes, wrote, “The maneuvering to get Cheney out on Wednesday bodes very poorly for House Republicans.” One would think the House GOP conference chair was an important position. It is not. One would assume Americans care. They do not.

To understand the salacious, constant coverage of Cheney by the press, we must venture across the Atlantic to Great Britain and consider an essay by former Prime Minister Tony Blair on the collapse of the global progressive movement generally and his Labour Party in particular. Writing in the New Statesman, Blair notes that Biden won not because of some sweeping progressive agenda but because former President Donald Trump was “considered by centre-ground voters to be uniquely strange and unacceptable in his behaviour. … Without Biden, and his self-evident reasonableness and moderation, there might have been no victory.”

Biden "won" because of an unprecedented and extensive network of cheats, from the precinct to the people writing algorithms for tabulation devices, with the fawning collusion of the Mass Media.

Attempts to explain his "victory" otherwise are just so much manure.

Yep. Either it is stopped, or it won't stop...and I am sure they have set their sights on the next steal already.

I also strongly suspect that the 'fix' was in for Hillary, and part of the reason they had such fits is that the votes for her plus the 'fix' margin were just not enough to prevail. They learn from some of their mistakes, though. (which tells me their policy stupidity is intentional)

There is no shortage of manure when it comes to Erickson.  I will turn the radio dial to the Black Information Network before I listen to Erickson.  His radio show is intolerable.
