Former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., a once-rising star in the GOP who fell out with her party over her criticism of Donald Trump, slammed the former president as an “unrecoverable catastrophe” in her call for other Republicans to vote against him this year.
“We see it on a daily basis, somebody who was willing to use violence in order to attempt to seize power, to stay in power, someone who represents unrecoverable catastrophe, frankly, in my view, and we have to do everything possible to ensure that he’s not reelected,” Cheney told “This Week” co-anchor Jonathan Karl.
Liz has more guts than 99 % of all the other Republican politicians.
The bar is so low
That means very little. She may have more guts, but she is just as much of a scum bag as anyone else in the GOP based on her voting record in Congress. She supported Trump’s position over 90% of the time.
Cheney voted to impeach Trump and because of that she is persona non grata in the GOP so now she is opposed to Trump. She may even fear him getting in office and having her imprisoned. That doesn’t make her a remotely good person. Fuck Liz Cheney. The enemy of your enemy may be a useful tool, but she is not your friend. Don’t forget that.
At least she tries to oppose us through democratic means. But yes, she’s still opposition. But I can argue with and sometimes even compromise with a democratic opposition. I can’t do that with a fascist government.
At best a frenemy
Her family has been feuding with the Trumps since he started going on FOX to talk shit about the Iraq War in the mid-00s.
This isn’t an issue of more guts. It’s just politics of personal resentment. If DeSantis or Haley or Ted Cruz had been the nominee, they’d have been all on board despite these assholes sharing the same set of fascist policies and beliefs.
