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.”
Who could have imagined that?
Deep state gonna deep state.
LIZ IS GETTING FATTER...SCHADENFREUDE.
No other republican can win.
And the republican party is full of pantywaists like you.
Reagan took on a republican president Ford, and stood up to Republicans like Bush.
There is only one answer:
LIZ LIKES WARS.
THAT is how I see her.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was just thinking:
If you were to take ALL the INSULTS, FROM NILES DA BUTLER , FROM “THE NANNY” TO CE CE BOOBCOCK AND APPLY THEM TO LIZ, IT WOULD BE A PERFECT PAIRING.
“Liz will always be bitter because she saw herself as future Presidential material. Trump and MAGA blew her entitled dream out of the water.”
I consider Trump a hero for taking out the Bush, Clinton, and Cheney dynasties.
And...?
Take the party away from the Cjeneys and Romneys and Murkowskis. Educate the public as to what a Constitutionalist or conservative of traditional values really is, and how he/she wants to live out one’s life without interfering agitators.
I remember when Dick Cheney got a heart transplant and the left was so pissed wishing Cheney would have died and someone else got the heart..now I kind of understand their logic
And to this day they (Cheney’s) kiss the lefts rings...not an iota of difference between the Demonrats and Republican today (except for a few Republicans like Gaetz and others like him)
