Cheney becomes GOP's Trump foil
The Hill ^ | October 21, 2021 | Scott Wong

Posted on 10/22/2021 1:00:05 AM PDT by FryingPan101

Rep. Liz Cheney is using her platform on the special committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack to take direct aim at Donald Trump — and become a foil to the former president and de facto leader of the GOP.

Since she led a band of 10 Republicans to impeach Trump for his role in inciting the Capitol riot, the Wyoming Republican and political scion has become the public face of the anti-Trump GOP movement.

But her new role as the vice chair of the Jan. 6 panel — one she owes to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) — has helped elevate her national profile, through dramatic televised hearings, media interviews and big speeches, for whatever comes next.

Scott Wong is wrong.

Cheney is not the de facto leader of the Republican Party….and help is not on the way, Papa Cheney. What a hellacious thought as if Republicans don’t have enough problems. An ambitious Liz Cheney saw an opening and slithered thru it. She’s allowed her own personal thoughts but using her elected official position is on par with the behavior of Ilhan Omar.

Long article but worth a glance just for background.

Yup…breaking news Lib media journalists love Liz Cheney. Not news and not changing minds.

Anyone still believe this crap? She’s political roadkill since President Trump basically exorcised her from the party like some queer demon.

She is a gnat. Trump is an elephant.

Any questions?

She’s not a foil of anything. Comparing her to Trump is like comparing a rat to a lion. If Trump even notices her existence in 2024, he’ll simply chew her up and spit her out. Maybe have to lick some dirt to get the bad taste out of his mouth.

Scott Wong is wrong.
Cheney is not the de facto leader of the Republican Party

The article is poorly worded, but I think it is saying Trump is both former President AND he is the defect leader, not Cheney.

Cheney is a flat out traitor who will be a former rep in a bit over a year, unless the people in Wyoming have lost their minds.

It's The Hill Pile...she's on the island of misfit toys, the steaming pile(like other leftist outfits) wants to give her cred's because she hates Trump(like them).

The war-mongers who brought the Republican party down(twice)under a Bush...and gave us Clinton, then Obama.

Expose, chastise, then dispose of these cretins once and for all.

It’s amazing. People who hate Trump are obsessed with him. They can’t stop. We have a guy who calls in to a local radio show here and the minute he opens his mouth, it’s uncontrollable Trump-hating toxic venom spewing from him. He’s sick. They all are. Liz too.

That's because he(Trump) tried to show us how to fight back against their lies and deception tactics...either by using their tactics against them(not easy when 90% of media/academia are on their side), or simply being a in-your-face counter-puncher.

That made the hierarchy of the left scared, as they had gotten used to defecating on us without repercussions, they fear(ed) the wake-up call.

(sunlight kills vampires).

The right are like the villagers in the movie "The Magnificent Seven"...they sit-back and allow bullies(and their brain-fornicated hoard)to push us around.

It's gone on for too long, one can no-longer just take care of just your immediate circle, the history of the country(not to mention the sacrifice to get us here)is at stake.

...stake the vampire.

Cheney doesn’t have much of a following. She and the other 9 malcontents live in their “own little world.” They are marching off a cliff to certain political death. Let them, they’re stupid politicians.

Good riddance is my position on the “dirty 10.”
