The treatment of Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., by her fellow House Republican leaders and colleagues "simply for having a contrary opinion" on former President Donald Trump is appalling, and late President Ronald Reagan would never have approved, presidential historian Craig Shirley wrote in a new opinion piece.
"Cheney's only crime of course is her belief that the GOP needs to wash its hands of Donald Trump," Shirley, a biographer for late President Ronald Reagan, wrote for Townhall. "Otherwise, she's a tried and true conservative. And our movement is big enough to accommodate personal opinions.

I guess they are invoking Reagan’s commandment don’t speak ill of other Republicans. Which Liz violated.
And she ran with the phony impeachment to boot.
And the more she speaks the more disgust she seems to show for the 75,000,000 Americans who voted for Trump.
Did she even vote Republican for president on election day 2016 or 2020? Hard for her to claim to be a Republican.
They are really having at the corpse of Ronald Reagan. They constantly confuse the Gipper with Gerald Ford.
The GOP hated Reagan as much as Liz hates Trump.
History is written by the winners..make no mistake abut it.
Well, President Reagan spoke to ME in a dream last night, and told me that's definitely NOT her only crime, so there.
He held close to the 11th Commandments, thou shall not speak ill of other Republicans. Thats why Trump is a better president, called a rat a rat no matter the party!
Reagan would support a Democrat? Liz is a disputable low down yankee Democrat liar.
“...cult of personality, etc. Cult of personality is getting a big workout lately.”
Yah, much better to be in a cult of non-personality.
The b!tch voted to IMPEACH him.
Anyone who thinks Ronald Reagan would have found that acceptable is a delusional dumb@ss.
Craig Shirley's father would find this BS on his son's part disgusting.
...using the opposing party’s talking points and nastiest, most unfair caricatures of your side, and expect no consequences.

Right, it was a nasty betrayal. It wasn’t a good faith disagreement. To do that and then act like a martyr when you get some well deserved pushback is pretty pathetic. As for the historian, I’m not familiar with him but I’d guess he’s not a Trump fan and has a blind spot.
They are left wing, or they won’t be published. Moreover, Reagan would have said, “She broke the 11th Commandment. She’s out.”
conjecture and speculation
as so many point out on other topics
NeverTrumper supports NeverTrumper. Yeah, that’s big news.
Bah - “”simply for having a contrary opinion”” She actively sought to have Trump impeached over absolutely nothing and she did nothing to defend the constitution or this country as well.
What a joke.
Cheney would have led an effort to Impeach POTUS Reagan after the Iran / Contra debacle.
I am pretty sure Reagan wouldn’t approve of Cheney and other RINOs voting for impeachment and being unsupportive of a sitting Republican president.
During Reagan’s tenure, the cancer was still trying to install itself. He’d be a very different man today and he still wouldn’t be a Dem.
Hey historian, STFU!
We’re tired of the RINO’s and the GDamn BUSHIES!
Reagan would approve of our efforts to remove these cancers from any form of party leadership!
