Liz Cheney unveils PAC to try to stop MAGA candidates reaching office and names Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley as targets because 2020 election claims 'made them unfit for future office'

Cheney on Sunday singled out Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri as possible early targets She also said Ron DeSantis deserved censure for backing election fraud claims, and said Kevin McCarthy was not fit to be House speaker
Liz Cheney has launched a new political action committee dedicated to defeating members of Congress who backed Donald Trump's claim of a rigged election.
The 56-year-old Republican, who on Tuesday lost her seat in the House due to her condemnation of the former president, filed with the Federal Election Commission to transfer the remaining cash from her federal campaign account to her new PAC.
As of the end of July, she had a $7million war chest, The Wall Street Journal reported.
'I'm going to be very focused on working to ensure that we do everything we can not to elect election deniers,' Cheney said on ABC on Sunday morning.
'We've got election deniers that have been nominated for really important positions all across the country.
'And I'm going to work against those people. I'm going to work to support their opponents.'
She singled out two senators - Ted Cruz, for Texas, and Missouri's Josh Hawley - as obvious targets.

Perfecto
As representative from Wyoming, who just lost her primary I might add, whom does she work go?
Can’t disagree.
Well said, and accurate. It's very concerning when a significant number of politicians have disdain for the voting citizenry. That said, Liz appears to be suffering from pathological narcissism.
Is it just me who thinks she’s getting far more attention than she deserves? Who’s setting her up as a “lightning rod” for us MAGA patriots to throw so much effort and invective at? Wyoming’s people voted her out by a greater than 2:1 margin. She’s a lame duck and won’t be in Congress much longer. Other than being married to a former vice president, what’s her claim to fame? What source of legitimacy/power does she have? Other than the media and $oros types using her as “raw meat” to bait us with?
56…. What a hag.
I guess all the stressful nights sifting through the information to pick all those great stocks took a toll.
She just looks bitter, all the time.
well... you’re not wrong.
Not another Lincoln Project!
She is the daughter of the former Vice President not the wife!!
Well now we know how she plans to profit from her kookery. It looks like she’s taking the same playbook as Rick Wilson and the Lincoln Project.
#herpesLiz .The diseased mind that won’t go away.
She is governed by revenge, spite, hate, and self. She lives with that.. she must be miserable!
Indeed 🥴🥴🥴
I guess we're gonna find out.
Back to the kitchen, Liz...or can you even cook?
Her PAC is called: MORONS for the Ruination of America by MORONS like me PAC. 🤓
Anyways, just an observation. No idea what this may or may not say about Cruz.
This guy is not the real DJT:
“So this Bush league witch will be sending money to Democrat candidates?”
Probably not. The idea of a PAC is to gain power for whoever runs it. Therefore, the PAC keeps control over the use of the money. It extracts a favor from the person the pack “supports” by spending money in that person’s favor. It does not give that person the money. She is attempting to become a king maker. The ideal outcome is that she gets appointed to a political position rather than elected to it. A cabinet seat would be ideal but failing that there’s always becoming a university president or some other prestigious but no-show job.
