Washington Post and MSNBC contributor Washington Post and MSNBC contributor Jonathan Capehart compared Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., and former President Trump to Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in "Star Wars" on Friday.
Capehart and New York Times columnist David Brooks appeared on "PBS News Hour" with Judy Woodruff to discuss various topics, including Cheney's upcoming primary.
Brooks called Cheney "a hero," but noted she is behind her Republican challenger by more than 22 percent and likely to lose her seat. That's when Capehart praised her as comparable to a beloved Jedi.
"And, look, I keep thinking about the scene in ‘Star Wars: Episode IV,’ when Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi are battling it out on the Death Star. And Obi-Wan says to Darth Vader, ‘If you strike me down, I will come back more powerful than you can imagine,’" Capehart said. He explained, "And, to me, Liz Cheney is Obi-Wan Kenobi. If she loses, which she very well might lose her primary on August 16, she could very well come back more powerful than Donald Trump has imagined. And if her goal is to ensure that he never comes within any manner of feet of the Oval Office, if she can succeed in doing that, she will have done a major service to the American experiment."

This is the same playbook they used with McCain. Shower him with faux praise to manipulate him into being a useful idiot. Gush about how he should run for President. And then rip-him-to-shreds after he actually secures the nomination.
Though Liz’s chance of security the GOP nomination are below zero.
liz “little dick” hates America
she does not like a secure border
she does not like a growing economy
she does not like low inflation
she does not like low taxes
why is she even a republican?
in short, she hates you
These people are juveniles.
I would agree.
If you are talking about the Kenobi who was on the TV show.
A total nitwit who could not do anything right.
How does this guy keep getting re-elected? He fools his voters every six years just like Manchin does.
Oh I forgot him. Then there is her mother and father. Hey, she’s on her way! She will not has 60 or 70 million more to go, but she should have no problem, she has such an endearing personality 🤮
“Brooks called Cheney “a hero...”
I wonder if he noticed what the left has redefined that word as basically anybody who exists.
Fox News may as well be Media Matters.
These people are so sick. How can there be this many mentally deranged people in our media?
Looks like him/it too.

Help us, Obi Wan Cheney, you’re our only hope!
I am ok with striking her down, metophorically Let’s see if she can become more powerful than we can imagine.
Oh I was talking about her run for president. She will lose her WY seat and she thinks that qualifies her to run the country.
