Former Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney slammed House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) — stating she has “no faith” Johnson will “fulfill his constitutional obligations” as they pertain to certifying the 2024 election.

In an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Sunday, moderator Kristen Welker — who had just interviewed Johnson moments earlier — brought in Cheney and asked her to weigh in.

“You just heard how the House Speaker answered my questions about whether he would certify the election results,” Welker said. “Do you have faith that this election will be free and fair and that there will be a peaceful transfer of power?”

Cheney proceeded to voice a complete lack of confidence that Johnson would certify the election if former President Donald Trump lost.

    If that happens, the cons should remember that their court gave Biden the ability to do whatever he wants while still in office.

          which will be the proof that Dems want to seize power.

            As far as I’m concerned, if they actually refuse to certify the election and try to tip the US into an authorization regime, the gloves come off. No more worrying about how things look, how the Republicans will feel, how they will respond when it’s their turn. They don’t get another fucking turn after that.

              Yup, at that point, round up Musk and Thiel, Leonard Leo, the Repubs who refuse to certify, the Jackasses on the court, the rich assholes who have bribed the jackasses on the court, and anyone who has any power at all and on project 2025 or their schedule F list, and put them up against the wall.

              Biden should then pull the trigger on Trump and Vance (for that personal touch) and then take his place at the end of the line. Because once house has been cleaned, the cleaner is also reveled to be a monster needing to be put down.

              But yeah, I doubt Biden will have the balls to do any of that.

        To which a President may say, “the court and what army?”
