With just one day and one week to go, Liz Cheney is already preparing herself for her crushing loss in the Wyoming primary on August 16th. Don’t cry for old wartface neocon Cheney though. She will likely be hired quickly by Fox or CNN as a “contributor” or something.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) claimed in a New York Times interview Sunday that she is still a Wyoming Republican even after allying herself with the Democrats on the partisan January 6 Committee, gun control measures, and globalist foreign policy.
“If the cost of standing up for the Constitution is losing the House seat, then that’s a price I’m willing to pay,” she said in the interview.
Cheney has no interest in changing her political affiliation, she also told the publication. “I’m a Republican,” she said before warning the Republican party “is continuing to drive itself in a ditch.” She added, “I think it’s going to take several cycles if it can be healed.”
Not everyone agrees with Cheney’s political position. “She’s so in bed with the Democrats, with Pelosi and with all them people,” Casper resident Bruce Hitt explained to the Times.
Cheney’s alliance with the establishment extends to the partisan January 6 Committee, which has sought to investigate the January 6 incident without focusing on the alleged FBI informants at the Capitol. Cheney is one of ten Republicans who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump. If she loses the August 16 primary, only two or three pro-impeachment Republicans will remain in office.
“Can I cuss?” one voter responded to CNN when asked last weekend about Cheney’s role on the partisan January 6 committee. “She’s done us dirty,” the voter explained. “Look at how she’s done Trump. I’m a Trump fan.”
