Republicans Dumping On Lynne Cheney For Telling The Truth

B-man is sitting here thinking that old people will bale him out in these midterms.

 

Trump killed half of them!

 

He likely killed off 400,000 of his own voters!

 

 

If HR1 gets through maybe they can still vote 😉

Manchin just released his version of the new Voting bill and it’s actually good. It will pass.

The liberal media has finally found a Republican it can promote in Rep. Liz Cheney. As Twitchy told you Wednesday, the ousted House GOP Conference Chair promptly made a beeline for the “TODAY Show” and an interview with co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. We didn’t get much into the substance of the interview, but here’s a clip in which Guthrie tries to get Cheney to blame sexism in the party in part for her ouster. Cheney, to be honest, had a very good answer, but Guthrie is so enamored of Cheney, she says the quiet part out loud, calling the current situation “one woman against the Republican Party.”

 

 

 

This is the dumbest take of 2021. Did she get conference chair because of sexism, too?

 

And she will be replaced with another female

Liz Cheney Goes on Fox News, Loses Her Ever-Loving Mind

 

 

 

Apparently, Liz Cheney’s ouster from leadership has taught her nothing.

 

She went on Fox News this evening with Bret Baier. Instead of trying to reconcile with voters or show that she’s focused on moving forward and combating Joe Biden, the Wyoming congresswoman lost her ever-loving mind, ranting about “The Big Lie” and refusing to hold Democrats accountable for anything. She even managed to attack Fox News directly, which is an odd thing to do when you are being interviewed by someone as straight and level as Baier.

 

 

Cheney’s arrogance seethes through these clips, which is ironic given that would be one of her chief criticisms of Trump. Baier is dead-on in pressing her about where her priorities are. Why would any Republican dedicate their life to stopping a former Republican president? Where was this fire when it came to opposing Democrats, who are ostensibly Cheney’s opposition?

 

 

But there was one final clip that should really get your blood pumping. Baier asked her about spreading a false story about Russian bounties which was propagated extensively to attack Trump during the 2020 election. I’ve written extensively on that so click here and here for background.

 

This was her answer.

 

 

 

She has no regrets? The story was false, so how exactly does that confirm any of her priors? This just shows that Cheney has no principles and is guided by nothing but a blind thirst for power. This is a woman who went from the backbench to leadership in just four years. That was almost certainly due to her family’s name and not her qualifications (as her floundering performance would later show). Instead of showing some humility and just admitting she was wrong here, she doubles down, once again perpetuating a lie that has been used to prolong the war in Afghanistan. How war-hungry can one person be?

 

What Cheney did in this interview is validate every criticism recently leveled against her. Forget about Trump. This is not a woman who needs to be anywhere near Republican leadership. Heck, I’m pretty sure she has no business being in the party at all at this point. She is obviously pushing this martyrdom act to raise her profile, recognizing that Trump has derailed her previous path to power (no doubt, she wanted to be Speaker one day).

 

If she cared one iota about the truth, she’d correct her lies on Russian bounties, focus on Joe Biden, and help Republicans win in 2022. Instead, she’s operating as a pawn for left-wing media and trashing every bastion of conservatism along the way.

Buh bye, Lizzie.  After next year, you can run as a Dem using your daddy's Haliburon blood money, thanks to a much bigger and far worse lie...

Republicans and Democrats just need to request a trade... 

 

Liz Cheney to the Dems as an MSNBC Republican grifter for Tulsi Gabbard or Kyrsten Sinema.

House Republicans voted to put Congresswoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) in the number-three role in caucus leadership, after Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) was ousted from leadership for her criticism of former President Donald Trump.

Liz Cheney, the Captain Ahab of the House

by Patricia McCarthy

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2021/05/liz_cheney_the_captain_ahab_of_the_house.html

 

Herman Melville’s novel Moby Dick is one the finest books ever written for many reasons, but the main theme is obsession. The captain of the whale ship Pequod is obsessed with hunting down and killing the white whale, the giant mammal that cost the captain his leg. Despite his having lost the last battle with the whale, Ahab is filled with a terrible resolve that is frustrated by his megalomania, his hubris and overconfidence. (snip) Doesn’t that character description sound exactly like Liz Cheney, just-ousted from her House GOP Caucus leadership slot? She is obsessed, overconfident and hubristic to the point of insanity.

IS LIZ CHENEY A VICTIM OF THE CANCEL CULTURE?

Some leftists, including Dana Milbank, are saying so. But then, these are some of the same people who claim that Republicans packed the Supreme Court by nominating and confirming conservatives Justices to fill vacancies on the traditional nine-member court.

 

These folks will argue anything.

 

It’s gratifying to see that attacks on the cancel culture are moving the needle sufficiently for hacks like Milbank to want to throw the charge back at Republicans. However, it’s dopey to claim that Liz Cheney’s removal from House leadership has anything to do with cancel culture.

 

Politicians and other public figures don’t become cancel culture victims when political positions they take, or the manner in which they do so, cost them office. Rep. Joe Crowley wasn’t canceled when Democratic voters in his congressional district decided they preferred to be represented by the more radical Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Bill Clinton didn’t cancel Lani Guinier when he withdrew her nomination for a top civil rights job at the Justice Department after learning about some of her extreme (at the time) positions on racial issues. Reince Priebus wasn’t canceled when he lost his job as Donald Trump’s chief of staff.

 

Even those those insisting that Justice Breyer step down to make way for a more left-wing jurist aren’t trying to cancel him, in my opinion. That’s a closer call, though.

 

The cancel culture isn’t about politicians and political figures losing jobs because their views on political matters, or their stridency, don’t mesh with those who select them. Politicians have no right — legal, moral, or otherwise — to hold a particular office. Nor is personal freedom, including freedom of expression, diminished when officeholders lose out based on their stances on the issues of the day.

 

That’s a lot of what politics is about — taking positions and facing the consequences, happy or unpleasant.

 

Victims of the cancel culture are mainly non-politicians who lose their job or are punished in some other way for expressing their views on public policy or the events of the day. An actress removed from a show because of her political expression is a classic example.

 

Politicians fall victim to the cancel culture when they are prevented from expressing or disseminating their views. Being kicked off of social media can be viewed as cancellation, for example.

 

But no one is preventing Liz Cheney from disseminating her views about Donald Trump. She seems to be doing so non-stop.

 

Both examples of cancel culture cited above — a private figure losing a job due to her political expression and a public figure being prevented from sharing his views — have fascist overtones.

The implications of politicians losing out because of what they advocate or how they advocate it are democratic.

Watching the Republicans eat their own is amusing.

 

All of this is because Cheney is one of the very few Republicans who have balls to tell it like it is, and isn't afraid of wannabe dictator trump.

Liz Cheney is a war mongering hawk.  Stop pretending you like her.  
 

Meanwhile, you have over a dozen Congressional Dems criticizing Biden over his support for Israel.   Not a peep from the national media about the very real fissure in the Democratic Party over the Palestine/Israel escalation.

Strefanik should have gotten it from the beginning.  Lizzie only got it thanks to her last name.
