House Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (Wyo.) on Tuesday rejected the “America First” foreign policy that was the centerpiece of former President Trump’s global agenda.

Speaking during a virtual event with the Reagan Institute, the No. 3 House Republican warned against policies of isolationism and said the U.S. must take a leading role on the world stage as part of efforts to push back against China's and Russia's ambitions.

“These ideas are just as dangerous today as they were in 1940, when isolationists launched the America First movement to appease Hitler and prevent America from aiding Britain in the fight against the Nazis,” Cheney said. “Isolationism was wrong and dangerous then and it is wrong and dangerous now.”

America first and America only are different concepts, Lizzy.

Now do Vietnam and tell us why intervention was a good thing.

Oddly enough, the George W. Bush’s grandfather, Prescott Bush, did business with the Nazis, when we were at war with Germany. Liz would be no one without her father being VP for George Bush.

I reject Cheney’s policy as dangerous interventionism.

What isolationism?

[DoughtyOne]

She’s number two in my book.

[DoughtyOne]

She, Graham, and McCain can’t seem to keep their mouths shut.

It bothers me that Trump even meets with Graham at this point.

I think not Lizzy. And I figure our creditors really would like it if we had some hope of paying our debt back. America First is the very best way to make it possible.

Trump was RIGHT!!!! Lizard, you are WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a very temporary rejection on the part of Liz Cheney. She'll be primaried in the summer of 2022, and then she'll be gone.

Hope so. Go Wyoming.

[DoughtyOne]

Yep, we’re on the same page.

Cheney’s brand of “forever war” interventionism has cost thousands of American lives and billions of American taxpayer dollars - and she’s out here calling for more. She’s insane and needs to be turned out of office by her constituents as soon as possible.

Everytime this dummy opens her mouth, she shoves both feet into her piehole.

Oops, sorry for the multi-post.

So Liz is as much of a warmonger as her dad. Probably works for and gets paid by the same war profiteers as him too.
