Cheney: I can't ignore Trump because he 'continues to be a real danger'
By Joseph Choi - 05/16/21 09:57 AM EDT

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who was recently ousted as House Republican Conference Chair, said on Sunday that she could not simply ignore former President Trump because he "continues to be a real danger."

"Fox News Sunday" host Chris Wallace asked Cheney why she could not ignore Trump, instead of attacking him which he said would "alienate" Trump's millions of supporters in the GOP.

"Well, you know, I wish we could do that Chris but unfortunately, as I said over the course of the last several weeks, former President Trump continues to be a real danger," Cheney said.

"What he's doing and what he's saying — his claims, his refusal to accept decisions by the courts. His claims continued as recently as yesterday that somehow this election was stolen," she continued. "You know what he's doing is he's causing people to believe that they can't count on our electoral process to actually convey the will of the people."

"Those millions of people that you mentioned, who supported the President, have been misled. They've been betrayed," Cheney added.

A real danger to whom, other than to her continued overinflated view of herself.

"You know what he's doing is he's causing people to believe that they can't count on our electoral process to actually convey the will of the people."

We plainly saw the election corrupted.  It has nothing to do with anything Trump says or does not say.

In fact it's the continued gaslighting by establishment authorities in both parties, the media, and the judiciary, that causes us to believe that we can't count on the electoral process to convey our will.

Liz has blown 1000X more vitriolic anger at DJT than any other dimocrat.  People are noticing.

This is why she is sliding down the chute of political irrevelance.

Exactly. It's enough for her to call him a danger, with a shred of evidence nor explanation. She's speaking to Chris Wallace, who sure isn't going to demand proof of her allegations.

She’s spending considerable political capital and is convincing no one. At least that much should be clear to her by now.

She and about 150 other nobodies who call themselves Rs are entering into a spiral of decreasing relevance.  They won't even make up a meaningful third party because their only platform plank is "Not Trump."

If we could, the TEA party movement would have heralded a sea change.

Really, instead of kvetching about Cheney I should be enjoying myself watching them thrash around like harpooned dogfish. Their unmasking has been far too long in coming.

Liz is trying to share her hysterical fits with the people and trying to impress us with them.  They used to fix advanced hysteria with hysterectomies, maybe some of the old ways weren't so wrong after all ? eh?

Trump is a malignant narcissist; he won't allow us to ignore him.

A real danger to whom, other than to her continued overinflated view of herself.

To the group of traitors expecting to resume their usurpation of the voters' will in the Republican Party, of course.

Trump was actually daring to commit the heinous crime of listening to what his voters wanted and giving it to them.

Horrors!

I saw on another thread where a RINO was describing working Americans as "serfs".

Looks like a simple case of NeverTrumpers getting desperate enough to bring in help to advance their cause.  It's not what you would do if you're succeeding.
