Here is Wyoming’s “Republican” Rep. Liz Cheney, in conversation with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, on why she should win her primary election fight — a fight which the polls say she is losing badly:
“Well, I think it’s important because I will be the best representative that the people of Wyoming can have. The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump. And I think that that matters to us as Americans more than anything else and that’s why my work on the Committee is so important and why it’s so important to not just brush this past, I think it’s very important that people know the truth and that there are consequences.”
The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway, in her usual, straight-on, perceptive style, described Cheney’s remarks as emblematic of a corrupt political establishment. Wrote Mollie:
Liz Cheney is the id of the regime. Truly something to behold. The unhinged obsession. The loss of any semblance of reality about what is and is not important. The enslavement to beltway blindness. The desire to make people pay for crime of rejecting what establishment decreed.
As mentioned in this space earlier, the Washington Times has also touched exactly on the point Mollie was making about Cheney. The Times editorialized it this way, bold print for emphasis supplied:
Wednesday’s hearing made clear the committee has been about three things all along. First, it wanted to disqualify Mr.Trump from running for public office again.
More disturbingly, it wanted to marginalize those voters who supported and support Mr. Trump and make sure that they are disqualified from participating in the political life of the Republican Party specifically, and the United States more generally. The presence on the committee of legacy Republican Reps.

Trump's REAL offense was his rejection of their whole worldview.
We were never ACTUALLY supposed to move the Israel embassy to Jerusalem.
We were never ACTUALLY to repeal Obamacare.
We were never ACTUALLY to overturn Roe vs Wade.
We were never ACTUALLY to stop illegal immigration.
We were never ACTUALLY to bring our troops home from Somalia (why exactly were they there at all?) or Afghanistan (unless in humiliation, which they gleefully brought about).
We were not SUPPOSED to pull out of worthless foreign treaties (once shackled by them, we were to REMAIN shackled by them).
We were never SUPPOSED to become energy independent (and thus remove ourselves from middle-east conflicts)
We were never SUPPOSED to eliminate regulations (once created, they must REMAIN).
Etc.
Etc.
The PEOPLE, through Trump, threw a VERY BIG wrench into their cozy little world. And THAT is the real offense. And so there MUST be retribution.
It's sick. But it's the reality.
They can't believe that Trump is still standing after all they have thrown against them. And God willing, he (through us) will vanquish them.
The swamp is going to make sure there is never another Trump from the outside.
“And God willing, he (through us) will vanquish them.”
I am afraid you will need someone other than Trump. Simply see how quickly his great work was undone. It will be the same again, without a change in tactics.
We need someone who knows what GITMO is for and who is not afraid to use the US Marines, as necessary.
GREAT comment !
Liz Cheney and her father support open borders also.
It may take a limited exchange of nukes to truly clean house. Would be rough but we can rebuild on the ashes. Hiroshima did.
Trump’s biggest offense was his attempt to stop the largest bipartisan project of the last 30 years, the fundamental transformation of the USA into North Mexico.
The overturning of Roe v Wade and the 2A and EPA decisions, DUE TO HIS THREE USSC nominations, say differently.
But I agree with you on additional tactics and strategy. I think Trump in his rightful second term would bring with him and renewed vigor and very focused agenda, myself.
Republicans must lead this charge or our country will be lost forever. This is my line for continued support. If they don’t do it after taking Congress and the Presidency, I will never again support a Republican for office again. I will be switching my party affiliation to pure Libertarian.
Life’s too short to keep being bamboozled into submission…
Well said.
What WE failed to do was to replace the Bush League Republicans that hobbled his first term and who assisted the Democrats in cheating him out of office.
WE MUST STOP ELECTING BUSH LEAGUE REPUBLICANS!
You go off and wish for that person. There is no sign of them and I doubt they are coming. America’s greatest champion is waiting to announce his third run. There is no one IMO that has the potential to bring back Trump’s achievements (which are not reversed, in any case, if you bother to review them) and to expand upon them to bring back American safety, prosperity, opportunity, freedoms & potential.
You are correct. That is what it was about. I’ve always imagined young newly elected congressmen getting Washington only to have one of the veteran trough feeders take him aside and say (in a Foghorn Leghorn style of delivery) “boy, things are different here. Yeah, we promise all that BS about “building a wall” to our rube voters when we’re campaigning, but we nevah really do any of that. Let’s don’t kill the goose boy, there’s plenty of money to made here by going along to git along”.
Not only does Cheney and other RINOs need to be defeated, but when President Trump is sworn in for his second term, the 3 letter agencies need to be purged ruthlessly. Then they need to be re-staffed with people who will actually enforce the law. Then those who got away with crimes over the last 8 years as well as those who illegally persecuted Trump supporters need to start getting arrested, perp walked put in shackles, thrown into solitary confinement and denied bail for a year or two and finally prosecuted - and in America, not in the DC Swamp.
Look at Cheney, Romney and Graham. Cheney will hopefully be gone, but it’s obviously difficult for voters to do what you demand. The Party is protecting itself from the voters. Hell, all of Government is protecting itself from the People.
Amen!
Agree
“The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump. “
I read this and assumed the article was written by the Bee, but it wasn’t. This dumb b!tch really said that, ignoring what Biden and the dems are doing to this country. I can’t believe her dad feels the same way.
Liz, as unhinged as she is, represents the establishment, the swamp, the true danger to our Republic.
