Liz Cheney’s Latest Fans: Democratic Donors
The New York Times ^ | July 9, 2022 | Maggie Haberman

Posted on 07/09/2022 10:06:20 AM PDT by Trump20162020

WASHINGTON — As one of the nation’s biggest Democratic donors, the film producer Jeffrey Katzenberg helped make Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton into Hollywood darlings. But this year, he is backing a surprise candidate: Representative Liz Cheney, the staunchly conservative Wyoming Republican.

“We agree on little, if anything,” Mr. Katzenberg said in an interview. “But she has done something that very, very few people in history have done, which is she’s put her country over party and politics to stand in defense of our Constitution.”

He was referring to Ms. Cheney’s leadership role on the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol and her condemnation of former President Donald J. Trump, whom she has called “a domestic threat that we have never faced before.”

To help Ms. Cheney bolster her chances in Wyoming’s upcoming Republican primary — she is facing a Trump-backed opponent — Mr. Katzenberg and his wife have donated more than $43,000 to her campaign and groups supporting her.

Wyoming is an open primary state.

The NYT is calling her a "staunch conservative", which will tell you how skewed that publication's political savvy has become. To get an idea of how much an establishment darling she is, consider how little of her funding is actually coming from Wyoming. Less than 50%? Quite a bit less. According to The Federalist, it's 2%. The other 98% is coming from outside the state.

$255,000 out of more than $10 million, according to the FEC: https://www.fec.gov/data/raising-bythenumbers/?office=H

Scroll down and search “Cheney” into “Where individual contributions come from”

Out of $7.5 million, I mean, but still, the 8th biggest source of donations. California and Virginia are #1 and #2.

So? South Carolina is too, and fellow impeachment-supporting Republican Tom Rice received <25% in his primary.

The NYT needs to break the habit of getting their material from the Babylon Bee. I know that is what they are doing because nobody could actually be expected to believe this nonsense.

When it’s from BB it’s funny.
From the NYT it’s just sad.

Maggie Habermann, again. Hillary’s best friend and go-to “journalist”. I really have to wonder if ‘ol Maggie is on the DNC payroll and use the NYTimes as cover.

And Nancy Mace defeated a Trump-endorsed challenger with Democrat votes.

I’d enjoy hearing some NYT academic try to explain that one away.

the staunchly conservative Wyoming Republican

That is almost as laughable as Romney being seriously conservative or Jeb being a reform conservative.

Now that people are wanting to QUESTION their gender..maybe Cheney needs to QUESTION which party she REALLY belongs to.

CPAC gives her a 71% rating, just behind Crenshaw at 76%, McCarthy at 74% and Sasse at 73%.

https://www.conservative.org/2022/04/27/2021-congressional-ratings/

FreedomWorks scores her even lower, at 60%.

http://congress.freedomworks.org/keyvotes/house/2020

American Conservative Union rates her at 71%

http://ratings.conservative.org/people/C001109

Those are hardly staunch level ratings. They are more at low C to low D ratings.
