WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Liz Cheney says she was wrong to oppose gay marriage in the past, a stand that once split her family.
Cheney, R-Wyo., a fierce critic of fellow Republican Donald Trump, also tells CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that she views her reelection campaign as the most important House race in the nation as forces aligned with the former president try to unseat her. She voted to impeach Trump over his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
In the interview aired Sunday night, Cheney said she had little affection for President Joe Biden, who she believes has embraced harmful polices for the economy and national security with the Afghanistan withdrawal. “But the alternative cannot be a man who doesn’t believe in the rule of law, and who violated his oath of office,” Cheney said.

But remember, how many clowns were in that clown car in 2016?
I think the GOP learned their lesson and basically will clear the way for Liz. It will be one-on-one, Liz vs the MAGA candidate, whether that’s Trump himself or the heir apparent.
It’s going to be a nasty POTUS primary fight, I can’t even remember anything like it, not even 1980 with Bush’s “Voodoo Economics” remarks, will even come close to the nastiness we’re bound to see.
Gay=abomination.
Liz is the same.
I plan to marry my printer, it is a cute Epson.
Wyoming is not like the rest of US. The press will spin it to her advantage nationally, even if she loses there.
They’ll just basically say Wyoming is a bunch of “hicks”, that don’t represent the rest of the country.
If my cat was still alive, I would marry him.
She should just be honest and officially become a Democrat... or a Communist.
Oh wait, was not supposed to say that. Sorry mom.
In 2016 Trump was leading early on, but still polling at 30% (at most), due to the large field. So people said that 70% of Republicans didn’t want Trump. We all quickly learned it was more like 85% of Republicans wanted Trump (90% of Cruz hadn’t made an ass of himself).
Cheney’s base of support within the part is TINY...she’ll be lucky to hit 20%. If they want an anti-Trump candidate, they’ll at least have to find one that doesn’t insult the base and pretty much supports the same issues as Trump.
STOP THIS CRAP. STOP THIS TALKING ABOUT THIS ISSUE OR THAT ISSUE.
This is personal. It’s about her. It’s not about anything her campaign staff manufactures as a way to draw Democrats to vote in the GOP primary. It’s about her. Her and nothing else.
Remove her. Here are the numbers:
2016 Primary GOP — a total of 88,000 votes cast. She won a plurality of 35,000. The next 3 candidates had significant numbers at 19K, 15K, 13K.
The Democrat primary had a total of 19,000 votes.
Her plan is to get the 19K Dem votes added to what she thinks she can keep from the Never Trumper total — and hopes that sums to over 44,000 to get 51% of the 88K.
There were 9 GOP candidates for that seat in 2016. As of now, only 1 is left after Trump made his pick and appeal.
Even with the Dem 18K, she’s in trouble.
And WITHOUT QUESTION, if she wins the nomination turn out en masse for the Dem.
It’s not about politics. It’s about her.
She can run. Only Dominion can help her win.
She doesn’t think Biden is violating his oath or the law by letting in millions of illegals.
I despise her.
If there really is someone who is a lying, dog faced pony soldier, Liz Cheney is it.
She and Fauci need to sit down and shut up.
Oh please you think Liz Cheney is a viable GOP presidential primary candidate? Not even close whether Trump runs or not.
Female mccain needs to go away. Nobody likes her.
She means, at first I really didn’t see how many votes and how much campaign cash there was in gay pandering but now I do and I’m going for it in a big way.
Bought some Judy Garland songs on iTunes and sent a bouquet to Buttigieg for the babies. I’ll kiss one of the deviants on the cheek for the cameras when I get a chance. Uh, I meant on the face cheek but if there’s money in it I’ll go for the other ones, too.
Woke sucks.
That is a mandatory position to join the democrats.
Gay marriage is an oxymoron.
“I was wrong obeying the Word of God in the past. I’ll be supporting the agenda of political correctness and Satan from now on.”
Thanks for letting us know, Liz. Glad that’s been cleared up.
Liz Cheney is wrong about a LOT of things.
I understand
We can all be wrong sometime.
Just like I was wrong to ever think you were a Republican
Thank you for setting me straight. oops, I said “straight”. Is that racis?
