Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Liz Cheney may hold views that are typically at polar opposites of the political spectrum. But on Thursday the progressive lawmaker from Vermont jumped to the defense of the Wyoming conservative, as she's expected to be ousted from her leadership position by House Republican leaders.

"Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) will likely be voted off the House Republican Leadership. Her crime: acknowledging the reality that Trump lost the election," Sanders, an independent who identifies as a democratic socialist, tweeted Thursday afternoon.

She thinks that Rat Party Maoists are helping her by supporting her. I suppose she might be right in one sense...she’d have no problem getting a prime time gig on MSLSD right now.

All these Marxists coming to Cheney’s defense. Leftist media, the hardest of leftist politicians, all coming to Cheney’s defense. What those morons apparently do not realize is that their support only solidifies that getting rid of her is the absolutely correct thing to do.

For a brilliant woman, Liz has piss-poor political instincts. Her bashing Trump has isolated her, and these same media figures will turn on her if she chooses to run for POTUS. These people hated her and her father’s guts in the 2000s and they still do today no matter how much leftist butt she kisses. I don’t understand why certain Republicans want to be cordial with the very people who want to destroy you.
