Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) didn’t make any new friends in the GOP with her star turn bashing former President Trump in prime time on Thursday night. It doesn’t bother her a bit.
Cheney, a dynastic figure who sits in the House seat once held by her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, used her high perch on the Jan. 6 select committee to accuse Trump of abusing the powers of the presidency to orchestrate nothing short of an attempted coup — explosive charges that have reinforced her status as Public Enemy No. 1 in the eyes of the MAGA faithful.
The much-watched hearing has further complicated Cheney’s path to reelection in deep-red Wyoming, a Trump stronghold where her primary opponent has the energetic backing of the 45th president, who is actively stumping against the mutinous incumbent.
But as Cheney’s attacks on Trump have grown only louder, it’s increasingly clear that she’s motivated by something other than securing her future in the lower chamber. Whether that thing is a self-sacrificing desire to save the country’s democratic traditions from the former president or an egomaniacal effort to advance her own fame and political powers largely depends on the perspective of her fans and critics.
What is not in question is that Cheney has staked her legacy on her relentless anti-Trump activism — a reputation that will become only more deeply entrenched as the select committee airs its investigative findings in a long series of public hearings that will dominate discussion in Washington through the rest of the month.
“President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit the flame of this attack,” Cheney, the vice chairwoman of the select committee, said during the panel’s prime-time hearing Thursday night.

She apparently cares what Demorats think of her.

No bias with this writer. No siree. Bwahahahaha
Bush Leaguers all hate Trump and MAGA, she is just more honest about it.
That’s the words of a candidate that knows the fix is in!
Somebody may have some really good dirt on her.
“...egomaniacal effort to advance her own fame and political power...”
BINGO!
The Deep State will take care of her. That's why she doesn't care about the polls or losing her seat. She can make millions by the Deep State ensuring she appears on the News Misleadia shows, or by the 'book deal' money laundering scam, or by a position in some NGO or another.
Pig at the Democratic trough, scarfing up the slop that nancy gives her.
Why should she care about the Republicans, she is a Dem and used RNC money to get elected. She should pay back any RNC monies used by her to get elected.
“..abusing the powers of the presidency to orchestrate nothing short of an attempted coup....”
Oh. there was a coup alright. The DNC and Bidens pulled off the greatest coup of all time.
she has sold her soul.
Obsessives don’t feel affected by the criticisms of sane people.
Like when hostages think they can convince a killer to drop his gun and maybe let them all go because that’s what they would do. The killers are not interested.
Liz is nuts. The football hero in high school (Trump) rejected her and she will get revenge someday.
Bush Leaguers are all in for the New World Order and importing a new electorate to vote to give up our sovereignty is the path they chose.
No conservative thinks about the witch
Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel will get right on it….
Here’s hoping she won’t be caring as a private citizen.
Maybe she can replace Whoopi on The View. They are intellectually similar.
Not losing any sleep over cheney spawn’s likes or dislikes.
Maybe she will move to a blue state, change parties and run there. Nazi Pelozi is liable to pass through her current rigor mortis stage any time now (leaving her unable to maintain an upright posture) and sLiz may believe she’ll have a shot to be Speaker.
(I should probably be sanctioned for even thinking of that)
Good. Then it won’t bother her when she loses.
