Sen. Ted Cruz: Trump 'Just Broke' Liz Cheney
Newsmax ^ | Monday, 29 August 2022 | Charlie McCarthy

Posted on 08/29/2022 12:41:27 PM PDT by conservative98

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said former President Donald Trump simply "broke" Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who "decided she is a Washington, D.C., left-wing Democrat now."

Cruz, speaking on his "Verdict" YouTube show, spoke of Cheney's recent loss in the Wyoming Republican primary after she joined House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's Jan. 6 select committee as vice chair.

"There are some people who Donald Trump just broke," Cruz, R-Texas, said. "They hate Trump so much that their mind went on fritz.

"And I got to say, Liz is unrecognizable. She has become a left-wing Democrat now."

Cruz said, while he sometimes takes issue with Trump's personal actions, he has been aligned with the former president when it comes to policy. That is unlike Cheney, whose remarks stemming from the House Jan. 6 Select Committee are "indistinguishable" from Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., or Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., according to Cruz.

"Trump came into power, and her mind just shattered," Cruz said.

"Cheney's circus act on the Jan. 6 commission is indistinguishable from what Nancy Pelosi would say. It's indistinguishable from what [Senate Majority Leader] Chuck Schumer would say."

"She didn't just lose, she lost by almost 40 points," Cruz said. "And the reason is simple – she doesn't represent the people of Wyoming anymore. The people of Wyoming are conservative. And she has decided she is a Washington, D.C., left-wing Democrat now."

Following her primary defeat, Cheney said she intends to continue her assault on Trump after losing in her bid for reelection. She added that she even was considering running for the White House in 2024.

Cruz told "Verdict" co-host Michael Knowles it was a "badge of honor" that Cheney had made him the "No. 1 person on her list" in attempting to defeat conservative Republicans.

In defense of Liz, she inherited her hatred from dad.

And what did Cruz’s Dad do before that? Don’t want your family attacked then don’t bring your family on stage to talk crap and lie about Trump. You can only poke and poke Trump so much. If you poke too much Trump will bite your arm off. Anyway this is ancient history. Let’s not keep on relitigating 2016.

Agreed.

Trump is the great revealer.

His enemies can’t help but reveal themselves.

It’s amazing to watch so many politicians immolate themselves.

I heard Cruz’s father helped NASA begin the slow work of faking the moon landing right after he helped Lee Harvey Oswald load his gun. But that’s just what I heard. LOL

I seem to remember Trump saying some things about her daddy and that's when she lost it

Did she sell her rustic Wyoming Pied-a-terre yet?

May have to check with her Chaffeur in DC.

“Don’t want your family attacked then don’t bring your family on stage to talk crap and lie about Trump.”

Agreed

See how our PDJT The GOAT treated Ben Carson.
Carson didn’t talk smack, just policy and constructive crticism. And a smart accomplished guy
PDJT respects that. Offered the guy a job in the Administration.

The rest of the politicans got the back of his ass, as they deserved.

She was always a left wing democrat. The only thing that changed is that she finally got called out for it in a meaningful way. She can’t pretend anymore.

“She was ALWAYS a left-wing democrat, she just lied about it”

She was so clever keeping that hidden that she voted with Trump more than 92% of the time in her first two terms. Pretty sneaky left-wing democrat, I’d say.

Liz has a lot of support from Republicans. There are more liberals than ever in the party now. I remember when they were confined to large Democrat states because they fit and could get elected there. Now they are even in Wyoming.

I also remember when liberals used to faint at the mention of the Cheney name. Now they raise a toast.

And I am reserving full bladder capacity for the spot in which they bury her.
