I Don’t Donate to Politicians, but I Will to Liz Cheney
The Wall Street Journal ^ | August 5, 2022 | Joseph Epstein

Posted on 08/05/2022 8:43:05 PM PDT by Trump20162020

I am a minor-league philanthropist. I give modest sums to animal shelters, the preservation of wildlife, children’s hospitals, my local public library, the Simon Wiesenthal Foundation and several other organizations and institutions. I don’t give to universities, lest they think I encourage their wanderings from their true mission—although I have considered giving $5,000 to Northwestern University, where I taught for 30 years, and earmarking the money to be spent exclusively on a Jewish tight end for the football team.

I have never given money to politicians or political parties. Yet I am about to send a $200 check to Liz Cheney for her Wyoming congressional campaign. Ms. Cheney, who is trailing more than 20 points in the polls against Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman, appears all but guaranteed to lose her congressional seat in the Aug. 16 primary. She says she has been unable to campaign openly because of credible death threats posed, one assumes, by ardent Trump supporters. The Republican Party in her home state has abandoned her. It not only endorsed Ms. Hageman but flatly refuses to recognize Ms. Cheney as a Republican.

He’s swinging for the fence.

Abandoned by her voters? No she left them and went establishment. Perhaps that is not what her constituents want.

Death threats? Not saying she didn’t get any, but how does he know that they’re Trump supporters?

Maybe the idiot doesn’t realize that she does not sufficiently represent the people in her state and they want a change.

So I bet old Joe there is giving to the Lizard because of her openness and fairness in participation in the democratic function known as the J6 committee? That alone ought to be cause for her ouster!

...one assumes...

How does one determine if a DEATH! threat is 'credible', Epstein?

Her stance against Trump is hers, not the hundred thousands of rer constituents. Like an ex mother in law hating her son in law. She does not not show professional integrity. She’s just being a big o’l Karen who’s been fed and fattened at the taxpayer trough, confusing her slop with wisdom.

And then there's this about Epstein....

"Epstein was never a tenured professor at NU, the University wrote, and has not been a lecturer since 2002. He currently holds emeritus status with the English Department.

Seems that the Wall Street Journal does not consider its sources with any rigor.

Cheney -- who appealed for Democrats to vote for her and has accepted Democrat funding as well as played her role in the kangaroo court of the J6 committee -- is NO real Republican in any sense.

“Bye Bye WSJ.”

All Rupert Murdoch-owned news outlets are very anti-Trump. Prior to the 2000 election, they were not quite as strident but still hostile. Now they are letting out all the stops.

Another WSJ columnist, Peggy Noonan, idolizes Lynne Cheney and has always propagandized against Trump, calling him crazy.

Send a BIG check! Won’t matter. Save the cost of postage stamp. Just light it on fire.

It’s an opinion piece. But has this kind of nonsense become trendy on WSJ?
