When it comes to Liz Cheney, it has been since the first day she first arrived in Congress, back in 2017, that several things should have by now become painfully obvious, even to the folks back home. First and foremost is the fact that she is very clearly another of those who we commonly referred to as a Republican-In-Name-Only, otherwise known as a RINO. And as such it is also now very obvious that she is in up to her neck in ‘The Swamp.’ And it has always been very clear that she has some sort of vendetta against the man who, as president, demonstrated a great love for his country and a desire to make it a better place for ALL who live here.
During an appearance on Tuesday on CNN’s “The Lead,”
hosted by Jake Tapper, it was Cheney who said she believed Republicans denying
the severity of the January 6 Capitol riot and former President Trump’s
responsibility in it were “shameful.” Tapper said, “One of the things I find so
troubling about all of this is you and Adam Kinzinger, and others are saying
that they tried to steal the election, these MAGA forces tried to steal the
election once, and they’re going to try again. And we don’t hear Kevin McCarthy
and Steve Scalise say, ‘no, no, no, we would never do that again.’ There is
zero attempts at reassuring people that what you are suggesting is not true.”
Cheney said, “Look, in some ways, I think it’s
actually even worse than that, Jake. I think that we’re in a situation where
the people that you mentioned seem to view this as some sort of a partisan
political game. And as every American who watched saw this morning, this is really
deadly serious. And as the chairman said, we didn’t have a peaceful transfer of
power. We had an insurrection. Today you had Republican members of Congress
actually protesting in front of the Justice Department on behalf of the people
who were here and who had been arrested because they participated in the riot
and in the insurrection. That’s a stunning and indefensible turn of events.”
Tapper said, “That was going on, on one end of
Washington. On the other end on Capitol Hill, the strategy from House Republican
leaders McCarthy, Scalise, Stefanik was to counter the committee hearing with
their press conference where their basic message was Speaker Pelosi is to
blame.” And after playing a video from the press conference, Tapper asked,
“What’s your reaction when you hear them try to blame Pelosi for an
insurrection incited and inspired and even directed in some ways by Donald
Trump?” Cheney said, “If I were saying the things that you just played, I’d be
deeply ashamed of myself. What happened is absolutely clear.”
Cheney then went on to say, “We had, as we heard
this morning, just intolerable cruelty, a mob that was assembled by President
Trump, was provoked by him. He lit the flame for what happened. We’ve seen that
not just in the speech on the ellipse but throughout. What this committee needs
to understand is exactly what the details were of the planning and the
financing. But for anybody to be suggesting that somehow he wasn’t responsible,
I think it’s shameful.” And then she added, “I think Leader McCarthy is
continuing to demonstrate that he views this as some sort of a political game.
It’s not a game, and it’s deadly serious.”
Cheney concluded, “If we accept what happened on
January 6th, if we accept what people, my colleagues are saying that we should
somehow look at this as a bunch of tourists, they are trying to whitewash it,
ignore it. If we go down that path, then we really are abandoning the rule of
law, and we are abandoning what is one of the most fundamental elements of our
republic, which is the peaceful transfer of power. I know that there are
millions of people around this country who won’t let that happen, who will
stand up and do what’s right and reaffirm our commitment to our constitution.”
So are we to believe she’s committed to our Constitution? Seriously?
First elected in 2016 it was nearly right out of the
gate that Cheney made it known that she was not much of a fan of the new
Republican President and it was soon after that that things only proceeded to
go further downhill from there. To the point where she has recently been called
out as being nothing more than a ‘Pelosi Republican,’ a moniker that she both
rightly deserves and is rather fitting. And it was just yesterday that I’m
quite sure that Cheney made the folks back more than a little proud when she
chose to once again get on her little soapbox in typical Liz Cheney fashion and
left absolutely no doubt about which side it is that she’s truly on.
You see it was on the same day that Cheney appeared
with Tapper, that she essentially dropped all pretense of who, and what, she
really is by choosing to stand shoulder to shoulder with the Democrats and
against the American people. She did so by issuing what was a rather nauseating
rant from her seat there on Pelosi’s hastily assembled ‘bipartisan’ kangaroo
court, the purpose of which, or so we are told, is to ‘investigate’ the events
of January 6. Personally, to me it sounded much more like she was perhaps
auditioning for a gig on either CNN or perhaps MSDNC. This woman is worse than
any Democrat. She is nothing more than a backstabbing traitor.
For Pete’s sake, cry me a river. Democrats and the ‘fake
news’ media, but I repeat myself, only call it insurrection when it goes
against their interests. When Minneapolis was burning, when Portland was
hosting riots for 100 straight nights, when police officers were getting
attacked all over the country last summer, Democrats and the media called it “mostly
peaceful” and chalked it up to justifiable outrage over the George Floyd
killing. So I think it’s hilarious that the dainty Democrats and their RINO and
media allies suddenly decided to care about rowdy citizen protests when it was
their own election fraud on the line and their own ivory towers getting shook.
So go for it, kiddies. Take your best shot. But out
here in real America, nobody gives a flying fart about your latest pathetic
attempt to sling mud at President Trump and the millions of us who continue to
support him and will gladly vote for him again 2024. Look, ANY Republican who
will attack other Republicans is going to be pretty popular on CNN, MSNDC or
anywhere else out in the world of ‘fake news.’ We are all quite familiar with
who they are. Folks with names Kasich, Romney, Portman, Cassidy to name just a
few of those RINOs who are routinely welcomed on any leftist ‘news’ show whenever
in need of a ‘Republican’ eager to slam his, or her, own party.
First, this was not an insurrection, because no government
business was actually taking place. The ‘certification’ of the Electoral College
vote is a ceremonial function. You can’t grab the vote box and run out
screaming, “I'm in charge now!” Second, when 30,000 members of the teacher's
union and their associated useful idiots descended on the state house in
Madison, Wisconsin blocking legislators from doing their job Democrats were
totally fine with that. Apparently, that’s not an insurrection. And when BLM
riots killed dozens of people and caused billions of dollars in damages what
did the Democrats do other than to give these people a pass?
