Mitch McConnell Donates to Liz Cheney, Joining GOP Proxy War
breitbart.com ^ | 4/7/22 | WENDELL HUSEBØ

Posted on 04/07/2022 8:20:08 AM PDT by cotton1706

The ringleader of the establishment Republicans, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), announced on Thursday a donation to Democrat ally Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) reelection campaign.

Cheney, who is no longer recognized as a Republican by the Wyoming GOP, has received a campaign contribution from the Senate GOP leader, McConnell told Axios. When asked if he will hold a fundraiser or other campaign event with Cheney, McConnell redirected the conversation back to his lane of Senate business.

McConnell and Cheney apparently believe the Wyoming member may lose her seat to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman, a strong threat to the establishment Republican order in Washington, DC. With Hageman catching momentum heading into the August 16 GOP primary, former President George Bush has also donated the legal maximum amount to Cheney. McConnell and Bush are joined in their support of Cheney by failed presidential candidate Mitt Romney (R-UT). In March, Romney delivered a speech at a closed fundraiser for the embattled Cheney.

The Wyoming race has become a proxy war between the establishment and conservative Republicans. Hageman has earned the support of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). Party leaders typically rarely endorse against sitting members of Congress. But after Cheney deserted the Republican party by allying herself with Nancy Pelosi’s January 6 committee and reportedly “orchestrated unprecedented” Republican sabotage, McCarthy presumably believed Cheney must be ousted from her seat.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct.

They WILL assist the Democrats to a permanent majority if we do not replace them.

Ditch is trying to gain friends at The Lincoln Project?

Why was Ditch’s military career so short?

Expect nothing to change even if the GOP wins the senate. Not with Mitch as the Majority Leader.

Some sleepy heads were wondering what side Mitch was on. This should remove all doubt.

Mitch doesn’t quite grasp what is going on.

He’s close to being our Joe Biden.

He’s destructive to the efforts we need to laugh to right the
ship of state.

I wish he would gracefully retire.

The most common excuse is if we don’t vote for Assistant Democrats a Democrat will get in.

How about electing real Republicans that won’t betray us every time?

I told people all throughout Trump’s Presidency that McConnell wasn’t a Trump ally or conservative, yet you people kept defending him.
