Specifically, Cheney pointed to members of the incoming class of congressional Democrats who may implore likely House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., to take up such an agenda.
"We have a lot of Democrats now coming in who are socialists. I'm not exaggerating, they are socialists," Cheney said during a panel on Fox News Sunday. "And I think that it's very important that we actually do have very aggressive and clear policy debates. We've got to make sure that we understand the grave national security threat that's out there, as well as the threat that we're facing from the perspective of our debt.
"And the socialist set of agendas, set of issues, which I think leader Pelosi is probably going to be compelled to have to push forward, are ones that would be disastrous for the nation. So I think we've got to fight and fight hard on those issues."
Cheney will serve as the next chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, the No. 3 leadership position in the GOP minority set to be seated in Congress next year. It is the same position her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, held in 1987 before he was promoted to minority whip a year and a half later.
Cheney, who was first elected to Congress in 2016, will help steer the Republican conference's communications and public relations strategy as its chairwoman in a political environment in which self-proclaimed democratic socialists Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., have elevated liberal priorities

Thank you..I knew putting this up would bring some sour pusses...but like Trump has said he has to work with what he’s got til it changes or he changes it otherwise.
Liz Cheney has the toughness....if and or how she will use it we shall see. I am hopeful.
I've said all along I give Trump lots of room to maneuver in this terrain he has to work and I will do likewise for Liz........or anyone else who goes up against the lefts agenda.
You keep speaking of things that work. Liz is 100% east coast neocon true believer in whatever daddy says. She isn’t going to go up against the lefts agenda...she believes in it.
Global warming, check.
Gay marriage and military trannies, check.
TPP, NAFTA, WTO, etc...check.
I haven’t heard her screech for a wall or for full unlimited repeal of Obamacare.
Fighting the left is meaningless if you do it like a Bush because the result is the same.
Is that right? This linked video suggests she would have heard the 9/11 story from her daddy, Dick. She may well be waiting for an opportunity to again challenge Mike Enzi for his Senatorial seat, but her control of the Republican Caucus at the nexus of GHWB's passing and giving up control of the Shadow Presidency suggests her ascension is a major move by the Deep State / Shadow Government.
The three F-16s (from the North Dakota Air National Guard) that scrambled from Langley were told told by their military "active air north, buster," meaning an aircraft had been identified to the north and that they being sent and authorized to shoot it down, ASAP. There is no mistake about those orders.
As the F-16s headed north, they approached and were handed off from the Langley military controller to Washington Center (civilian) controller, who immediately directed them to turn eastbound and head toward W386 (a Warning Area off the east coast). They dutifully made that turn eastbound and continued toward W386, completely missing the A-3's bunker buster that would shortly have been fired. That bunker buster swooped down from roughly a mile NW of the White House at 7000', over where the WWII Memorial would be completed two and a half years later, directly over the 14th Street Bridge, over The Reagan Airport, over what is now becoming Alexandria Gateway, over Arlington Forest, over the Tomb of the Unknowns, then into the western face of the Pentagon, directly into the offices of where Capt. Gerald DeConto in the Naval Operations Center was in the midst of controlling a gigantic, currently-active, complex war game scenario on the east coast of the US.
The chance that a commercial airliner (e.g., AAL77) would have executed either that descent profile or that precision navigational turn to hit the Pentagon within a few feet of ground level without tearing up all manner of terrain, pulling the roughly 4-5gs that would have been required, is neigh unto impossible even for a very experienced, military-trained pilot attempting it as if his life depended on it it. We, however, have had the official narrative foisted upon us that this turn and descent was accomplished by a novice pilot trainee, who never landed anything more than a stiff-legged, single-engine reciprocating, 100-low-lead, and then not even enough times to acquire a pilot's license. That narrative is beyond impossible. It's totally absurd. scores of Airline Transport Pilots have affirmed the nonsense of the official narrative, with essentially no high-time, AT pilot asserting that the official narrative is entirely plausible.
“[Washington, DC] is ringed with Air Force bases and Navy bases and the ability to get defensive planes in the air is very, very high, and at the same time you would do what is being done and that is closing off the entire airspace, so that in effect, the whole Washington area is a no-fly zone, so that any planes that can’t identify themselves and get into that are to be shot down.” -- Former US Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger on DC precautions while being interviewed on TV on 9/11.
And yet, "AAL77," ostensibly the plane that went into the Pentagon did so over an hour after the first plane went into the World Trade Center. No ground-based Pentagon defenses put into play.
Those that put this plan into action weren't sitting operationally-blind in a cave in Afghanistan. As Norm Mineta noted, they were handing orders to underlings within earshot of the uninitiated.
Air Traffic Controllers under orders from Senior Executive Service government officials were telling those who could have stopped the murders and destruction to benignly head out over ocean waters when the fight was directly over DC, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Truth Will Out! (as Shakespeare and Jim Robinson have said).
Amen. She has nailed the issue. Do whatever you can to fight the socialists!
There’s no debating socialists. There really isn’t. The last decade has shown this, if the last 80 years has somehow escaped your attention. The only valid course of action is to defeat them.
I will no longer debate the merits/antimerits of Obamacare. I don’t care about the details. I just want it never to happen.
For the most part, all you can do debating a socialist is to land up in the gutter; of being called a racist, a Nazi, a xenophobe, a fascist, a misogynist, an old white guy who should be turned into fertilizer, religious zealot, or any combo of those. For the most part, their talking points are more rehearsed, more widely repeated, use many fewer words and have more emotional appeal. Which is all they have, but that is all socialists run on.
They have no real principles; other than residing in a self-appointed aura of superiority, both moral and intellectual. They are smarter than you or they get their ideas from people who are smarter than you, which to them is the same thing. They care more for downtrodden children than you. They are more moral than you. They want everyone to have what you have.
I just don’t debate liberals or socialists any more. They hate this country, they hate the Constitution except for “free speech” so they can insult you and insult the country and its heritage. They do not value freedom as we generally know it. They are eager to disassociate from any semblance of freedom in the name of creating the utopia they envision; that utopia is so much better than freedom to them it’s the same kind of non-debatable to them as their vision is to me. Freedom is really not on their hierarchy of values. Society would be so much better off if we were in fact NOT free, but subject to the benificent yet always changeable urges of the State. All just waiting for the next “big idea” to come along.
They have to be defeated, not debated.
RINOs are the Left in disguise, what are you talking about?
Here’s a clue: I’d take his word for anything before I’d take yours. I know what he has done over the decades. What have you done besides nothing?
I will get pounded by some here, but I like Liz Cheney.
She’s tough and smart like her daddy and maybe more Conservative than him. She is also a very good communicator.
She may say or do something in the future that will sour my admiration, no doubt. But so far, so good.
I read it as—"coat-tails".
Wow. Bookmarking
I wish the adults would take back control of our elections. Turning them over to the retarded chimps was a really bad idea.
Not always on the same page in the same family; sons of Reagan for example. Biblical 4 sons of Aaron.
I heard her say that, and I hope she will do it and not do lip service.
Doesm't that eliminate them from the ranks of "Democrat" thus reducing their majority count and giving the Republicans the House ?
Self-made ^Belgian^ billionaire dies at 93.
A billionaire in a socialist country? How’d that happen? I mean really, nobody should have that much money in a country where everyone is equal.
Interesting.
