Historian: Ronald Reagan Would Disapprove of Cheney Treatment
newsmax ^ | 05/08/2021 | Sandy Fitzgerald

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.

It’s going to be really funny now watching all these liberals fall over themselves to start defending Reagan now.

It’s the same as pro-abortionists saying, “Jesus would have approved of abortion.” The reason they say things like this is, they live in a world where the approval of others is paramount. Gaining that approval is the reason for virtue signally; another attempt at getting approval.

It’s hard to say one way or the other what Reagan would have approved of. And, even if he did or didn’t my approval is the only thing that concerns me. If I was at dinner with Reagan and he wanted to discuss it, I’d certainly listen to his position with an open mind. But, failing that, I can’t care less what he would or wouldn’t have approved of.

The globalist/left fears a reinvigorated nationalist Republican Party that represents decent, rational Americans who will not ascent to the loss of their liberties and the transformation of their country into a socialist cog in a world government controlled by the elites and ruthless foreigners. A vibrant Republican Party cannot have a person like Liz Cheney in a position of leadership. She allied herself with the vile Democrats by voting for an impeachment based on the Russian hoax, other phony charges and most of all meant to destroy politically a President who advocated and practiced America first policies. Liz Cheney must be purged. Also agressive primaries must be used to rid a vibrant Republican Party of people who do not share the values of the rank and file.

#1 Reagan said never speak evil of a fellow Republican. Last time I checked Trump is a Republican President and one of the most successful in fact. Cheney and her menagerie of fellow RINOs have been goring the party leader since he declared himself a candidate. I doubt Reagan would
approve of Cheney et al.

#2. Cheney and her ilk are far worse than the limousine liberals Reagan faced. They are more like the limousine liberals of the Goldwater betrayal- Rockefeller, Keating, Javits, Case, Freylinghuyson, Scranton, George Romney ( sire of Mittens).

That’s not her only crime.

Reagan was opposed to Republicans attacking other Republicans ... just like Cheney did.

RR wouldn’t have allowed a RINO like her to have gotten a leadership position in Congress.

#nevertrumps don’t deserve a seat at the table much less a leadership position.

None of these guys calls out Liz for not living up to Reagan’s standard in her treatment of Trump.

Since when does Trump, or anyone else for that matter, have to be silent in the face of criticism? Get over it, Liz.

Reagan sought peace with Russia/Soviets. Cheney is always seeking war because she is a psycho.

Reagan would not approve of her.

This ‘historian’ things he knows Reagan, but, Reagan would have invoked his ‘11th commandment’ against Liz, saying:

“Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.”

She doesnt have a “contrary opinion” - she’s actively working with the communist Democrats to subvert this nation.

The machine is sure giving us a load of "poor Liz" stories of late. Cheney's "treatment" is getting deprived of a leadership role in a party whose leader she betrayed. If she'd voted to impeach Reagan for nothing the same thing would have happened then.

The theme is simply that the weakling, cringing, mealy-mouthed, back-stabbing, whipped-dog establishment Republicans are the "true" face of the party and that Trump is not. Why? Because they say so. Spare us, please.

Reagan would also disapprove of Cheney's behavior towards Trump.

Reagan's Eleventh Comandment: Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.
