Liz Cheney: 'No Question' Trump and Pompeo 'Also Bear Very Significant Responsibility' Over Afghanistan
Townhall ^ | 15 August 2021 | Rebecca Downs

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), referred to by former President Donald Trump as the "most quoted Republican in the history of our country by Democrats," strongly denounced both the Biden and Trump administrations for their handling of Afghanistan during her Sunday appearance on ABC's "This Week."

In an exchange with co-anchor Jonathan Karl, Cheney discussed how this "didn't happen in a vacuum," when it comes to the withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Cheney's focus was on criticizing the Trump administration in particular. "Look, I think absolutely President Biden bears responsibility for making this decision. But there is no question that President Trump, his administration, Secretary Pompeo, they also bear very significant responsibility for this," she responded when asked who is responsible.

She is desperately using the "both sides" argument because she knows she has zero credibility on the Right while the Left will never, ever embrace her.

I've never seen a politician paint themselves into a corner and be hated by both sides. Well, maybe Lincoln Chafee & Arlen Specter can be added to the list.

Think about it Liz. Your father who ran Bush’s foreign policy had more to do getting America into the Afghan quagmire than any other given individual.

Liz Cheney blames Trump, yet her father and GWB went into Iraq diverting resources from Afghanistan. What did her father’s Administration accomplish with when they were in control?

Not to worry, the warmongers made their money on this. They’ll cry all the way to the bank.

Bingo, this debacle is on Cheney/Bush. Biden was just holding the bag.

Someone please get this detestable [insert c-word] out of our lives already.

The Cheney family has made millions off our misery in the Mideast. Her globaloid POS father is largely responsible for this - I’ll do a Snoopy dance when his heart finally explodes.

What a she-pig.

Although it was addressed to the Parliament at the time, Oliver Cromwell's speech is also applicable to Liz Cheney:

20 April 1653, London, England

It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.

Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.

Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.

Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?

Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?

Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?

Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.

Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.

I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.

Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.

In the name of God, go!

You know who else bears responsibility, Liz? Your daddy!
