Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) said Monday on ABC’s “The View” that she was proud to vote for Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris. Cheney said, “Look, I think, first of all, there is only one serious responsible adult in this race. There’s just one. It’s not a race where we have the luxury of being able, you know, sometimes conservatives will say, ‘Well, I’m going to write in an alternative. I’m not going to vote for Trump, but I’m going to write somebody in.’ I want to make sure people all across the country understand you don’t have...

Dick Cheney did it. Arnold Schwarzenegger did it. Adam Kinzinger did it, of course. So did Jeff Flake. Mike Pence walked right up to the edge but ultimately declined to take the plunge, but even George W. Bush’s daughter, Barbara Pierce Bush, and Dick Cheney’s notorious daughter Liz (that is, former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Jan. 6) jumped right in. And now Liz Cheney is calling upon the biggest prize of all, former President George W. Bush, to join the party for the uniparty and endorse Kamala Harris for president. appropriate forum for an establishment mouthpiece to issue a call to...

Former President Trump lashed out at prominent critic former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), calling her a “Muslim-hating warmonger” during a campaign event in Michigan on Saturday. “Kamala is campaigning with Muslim-hating warmonger, Liz Cheney, who wants to invade practically every Muslim country on the planet. And let me tell you the Muslims of our country, they see it, and they know it,” Trump said at a rally in Novi, Mich. “Her father was responsible for invading the Middle East, killing millions of Arabs – millions – and this is the one that Kamala is campaigning with,” he continued, referring to...

Liz Cheney teamed up with Vice President Kamala Harris Monday in a last-minute effort to appeal to moderate Republicans who the former congresswoman believes might be uneasy about voting for Donald Trump but are afraid to say so publicly. Harris and Cheney visited three counties: Chester County in Pennsylvania, Oakland County in Michigan and Waukesha County in Wisconsin. Each were won by Nikki Haley, the former South Carolina governor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations who ran against Trump for the Republican nomination. During a townhall in Michigan, Cheney framed the November election as a choice between "right and...

oe Scarborough loves to describe himself as a conservative. On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough boasted at length of his conservatism, describing Russell Kirk's The Conservative Mind (first published in 1953) as his philosophical North Star, keeping a copy of it on his desktop throughout his adult life. The show opened with a clip of Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris. Scarborough praised Cheney for it, calling her a "real conservative" in the Kirkian tradition. [snip] So let's do a little thought experiment. What if, by some miracle, Liz Cheney had won the Republican nomination? And if that is too far-fetched, what...

Tuesday, during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” long-time MSNBC personality Chris Matthews said former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is the most “heroic figure” he has ever seen. Matthews said, “I would think a few years ago, I’d ever be singing the praises of a Cheney member of the family, a member of that family. I really did not like the Iraq War, and I didn’t like the Neo-Cons, and Cheney was leading them all, and he took us into that war, and it killed almost 200,000 people in Iraq, and it served no purpose. They had a bunker, a...

Democratic political pundit James Carville argued the recent endorsements Vice President Kamala Harris has received could net her support from Republican voters, including those who have never voted for a Democrat before. The past week saw Harris net two more endorsements ahead of Tuesday’s presidential debate, with the first from former Wyoming Republican Rep. Liz Cheney and the second from her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney. When asked what kinds of voters these two endorsements appeal to, Carville contended the endorsements could push voters hesitant to support Democrats to finally take the plunge, especially those who dislike former President...

Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney Mitch McConnell knows Trump provoked the violent attack on our Capitol and then “watched television happily” as his mob brutally beat police officers and hunted the Vice President. He knows Trump refused for hours to tell his mob to leave and “even then with police officers bleeding…he kept repeating his election lies and praising the criminals.” He knows Trump committed a “disgraceful dereliction of duty” and is a danger to our Republic. Trump and his collaborators will be defeated, and history will remember the shame of people like @LeaderMcConnell who enabled them.

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) went after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Monday, saying he is not “fit to serve” after he said he would have chosen not to certify the 2020 election results without pro-Trump electors. Vance said Sunday in an ABC “This Week” interview he would have allowed states to send multiple slates of electors to Washington after the 2020 election and “Congress should have fought over it from there,” adding there “were problems” in the 2020 election. “Yesterday, J.D. Vance claimed that Trump could defy rulings of the Supreme Court as President,” Cheney wrote on X, formerly...

Former Wyoming Congresswoman Liz Cheney rejected claims she has shown a double standard in her critiques of former President Trump and President Biden. The anti-Trump Republican warned Monday that if Trump were elected again, he would not surround himself with the moderating voices and advisors he did in his first term, but instead essentially employ sycophants to forward his agenda. […] (On “Special Report”) […] Citing a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed, anchor Bret Baier noted the paper, which is also owned by the parent company of Fox News, is not always friendly to Trump either, but had published that...

Former congresswoman Liz Cheney of Wyoming is the poster child of a Republican establishment abandoned by the party’s far-right base. Now, she’s billboarding what may come next: In an interview with CBS aired Sunday, Cheney lamented the extent to which the Republican Party had been “co-opted” by Trumpism and said she feared the potential of a vengeful Trump presidency in 2025. “One of the things that we see happening today is a sort of a sleepwalking into dictatorship in the United States,” Cheney said. Cheney’s refusal to accept former president Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election had been...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s upcoming tell-all is being described by her publisher as a “warning” about the threat to American democracy posed by former President Donald Trump and his allies. Little, Brown and Company ​calls the book by Cheney, one of two Republicans on the House select committee that investigated Trump’s actions in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot a “gripping first-hand account from inside the hall of Congress … by the House Republican leader who dared to stand up to it.”​ Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, lost her Wyoming congressional seat last August...

Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who was on the House select committee that probed the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, weighed in on and welcomed potential House Republican plans to investigate Jan. 6 for themselves now that they control the lower chamber. “If @HouseGOP wants new Jan 6 hearings, bring it on.

Cheney tweeted from the unemployment line on Monday, lecturing Greene on the “governing principles of America” after the Georgia congresswoman proposed a national divorce.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Tuesday said it is “disgraceful” for some Republicans to be mocking Paul Pelosi, the husband of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), after he was violently attacked at the couple’s San Francisco home last week. Cheney, speaking with journalist Judy Woodruff at an event put on by The City Club of Cleveland, specifically called out members of former President Trump’s family. “The fact that while Paul Pelosi was in ICU, had been brutally attacked, had a skull fracture and numerous other injuries, that there were members of my party mocking him, that there were members of President...

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney on Thursday endorsed and plans to campaign for Rep. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, the first time that the critic of former President Donald Trump who lost her GOP primary has crossed party lines to formally support a Democrat. Slotkin is competing against Republican state Sen. Tom Barrett in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. Their race is considered a toss-up by both sides and one of the Republicans’ chief targets in their campaign to win the House majority on Nov. 8.

The widespread and coordinated plan to divide the Republican Party has failed, and it’s a major reason why Democrat prospects for the 2022 midterms are so bad. Separating Republican officials from their growing coalition of voters and the issues they care about has been the Washington establishment’s goal for several years now. The “divide and conquer” plan is being run by the Democrat Party, its propaganda press, and former leaders of the Republican Party such as Liz Cheney, who see how the GOP’s new composition and approach has threatened or destroyed their hold on power. The D.C. partnership has worked...
