Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney would rather cede power to Democrats than see members of her own party win in 2024, she said, calling a Republican majority a “threat,” and warning of an existential crisis leading up to next year’s election.
“I believe very strongly in those principles and ideals that have defined the Republican Party, but the Republican Party of today has made a choice and they haven’t chosen the Constitution, and so I do think it presents a threat if the Republicans are in the majority in January 2025,” the Wyoming Republican said during an interview with CBS, when asked whether she would prefer a Democratic majority in 2025.
Once the No. 3 leader of the House Republican Conference, Cheney was booted from her role and later lost her seat after bucking her party to take a stand against former President Donald Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
Cheney overwhelmingly alienated members after refusing to tamper her criticisms of the former president in the weeks and months following the insurrection — unlike the then-leader of the caucus, Kevin McCarthy, who quickly returned to Trump’s side after initially condemning him for his role in the riot. Cheney became the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack. In 2022, she lost in the primary for her Wyoming seat.
Cheney has since written a book that details the groundwork laid by members of her party — including new House Speaker Mike Johnson — that led to the events of Jan. 6. “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning” is to be released Tuesday.
In an excerpt of the interview that aired Saturday, Cheney called the Louisiana Republican a “collaborator” in Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In the full interview Sunday, Cheney warned against sending the little-known Republican back to the role in 2025.
“What happens if Mike Johnson is the Speaker on the 6th of January 2025?,” CBS’ John Dickerson asked.
“He can’t be,” Cheney replied. “We are facing a situation with respect to the 2024 election where it’s an existential crisis and we have to ensure that we don’t have a situation where an election that might be thrown into the House of Representatives is overseen by a Republican majority.”
Might it be that the leadership of the GOP is captured and controlled opposition? That the parasitic reptiles that rule us have a few of their own claim to believe in the beliefs of the masses only to lead them to dead ends, blind alleys and snipe hunts?
Asking for a friend.
She was a fraud from Day One -- running as a Republican for the sole purpose of serving the globalist/corporate interests that owned her.
She has no concern about a Republican agenda. Neither do I, in fact. I'm a conservative nationalist. She's the exact opposite.
If she were honest, she'd stand up and admit that she represented northern Virginia, not Wyoming, in Congress.
Liz Cheney reminds me of those people who will cut a hand of because they think it doesn’t belong.
and Cheney’s vote included a lot of Democrat crossover voters!
Her hair dye has seeped into her brain, what’s left of it!
Being that she’s an under-cover DemonRAT, can that be a surprise?
The communists want Cheney back
Frankly, I think this woman is mentally unbalanced. Tragically so.
The whole dang world is on fire with President Trump gone, yet people try to put the fear of Jesus into us of what it “would be” like if he won. FCOL, we were there. How many people have lying eyes?
Her and her father. Dead to me.
We also have a much, much bigger corps of FReepers who do not support Mister Trump in the primary, however will support which ever GOPer wins the nom, even if it's Trump.
I'll add that if there was a FReeper who supported or agreed with the Lizard, any such posts somehow eluded me.
The Republican Party isn’t Cheney’s party. She’s a traitor to nation and party. She should be in prison for her anti-American actions and crimes.
This is why we need a new MAGA party. The GOP hates MAGA enough to sabotage MAGA. MAGA can not trust the Republican party. Its time to scrap the Republican party. Its that simple.
“ We also have a much, much bigger corps of FReepers who do not support Mister Trump.”

Still small, and small minded.
Liz Cheney was defeated by historic margins in her primary. I don’t know why conservatives keep her name out there.
Losertarians proved this long ago.
DUH?.......of course she does. She’s a Demonrat!!!
Of course she would rather have Dems in power..after all, the Dems are the party of Jew haters and forever wars, that makes the likes of the Cheney regime very very happy
I sit here and wonder how we could have been so betrayed by these so-called Repubicans. I see GW now and wanna puke, same with Cheney, Bush 1 (before he bit the dirt) and Mutt. Wasted votes from the most disgusting mob of anti-American, war mongering corrupt SOB’s ever!!!!
Sigh. Name-calling?
My Friend, I do believe that we hereabouts are better than insulting each other.
As a related aside, my long-time GOPer DW is so put off by Trump's name-calling that she refuses to consider voting for him when/if he wins the nom. She is not alone.
Another evil idiot
