Cheney Adds New Hit Jobs on Her Derangement Tour, Goes After McCarthy, Stefanik
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) has completely lost her mind since she was voted out of her leadership position. She’s shown exactly why she should be removed, with her statements on various media outlets
As my colleague Bonchie reported, Cheney went on Fox News last week with Bret Baier. And Baier asked her a great question: why should anyone in Wyoming support her re-election to fight against the Biden agenda, if she says she’s dedicating her life to opposing President Donald Trump? She then attacked Fox News.
Baier asked her about spreading the false, Russian bounties story that media spread to hurt Trump, and she said she had no regrets about spreading that story because it matched what she thought about Russia and Trump.
As we also reported, in an interview with ABC News, she tried to burn House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy for pulling his support for her and getting behind her removal. She suggested that McCarthy should testify about the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, then claimed, “I wouldn’t be surprised if he were subpoenaed.”
Cheney then went completely around the bend in a CNN interview, saying she thought that some Republicans voted against impeachment of Trump because they feared for their lives.
Today, once again, she was featured on Sunday shows, going on both Fox and ABC. But, she saved her nastiest hit for Fox, where she went after McCarthy again — and this time, also attacked her replacement, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY).
Cheney claimed that somehow they were “complicit” in what happened on Jan. 6. She obviously presented no evidence, and there has been nothing to suggest that either was involved in the rioting. But, both were involved in Cheney losing her leadership seat. That’s what really seems to be at issue here and to be triggering Cheney’s effort to burn her colleagues.
She also takes the attack on McCarthy a step further, suggesting he has “information” that might be important to any investigation as to what happened on that day.
So, here’s the thing. If she has evidence that McCarthy knows something and she isn’t coming forward with it, isn’t she the one covering it up? Why isn’t she coming forward with this mystical information? So, what’s that “information,” Liz? The answer is: there is no “information.”
It’s all about burning everything up as she goes out. So, if it wasn’t clear that she deserved the boot before (and it surely was), this just puts the icing on that cake …even re-ices it… with why Cheney should never be in leadership again, and frankly, should never be re-elected.
Oh, and Liz? Trump is more popular than you in Wyoming, so your chances are between slim and none. Hence, why she’s imploding so much. Next stop? Commentator on CNN or MSNBC, as Trump said.
CBS News Poll of Republican Voters Is
Final Stake in Heart of Cheney's Efforts
She was at it again today, going after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and her replacement as the GOP House Conference Chair, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY). Media hasn’t been shy about featuring her on all the shows, as she spreads all kinds of attacks against her colleagues — and Trump.
This is why the Republican leadership dumped her, because she wasn’t able to focus on dealing with Joe Biden; she was too wrapped up in continuing to go after Trump. But in return, she’s now attacking the GOP leadership, her successor, and trying to burn them in retribution.
If she thinks this is giving her a future in the Republican Party, she may want to check the new poll out from CBS News. They polled people who identify as Republicans about her removal, and the poll shows the continued importance of Trump to the future of the party.
Eighty percent of Republicans agreed with the vote to remove Cheney. Of that group, their various reasons included her being “off-message, unsupportive of Mr. Trump, and that she’s wrong about the 2020 presidential election.” Interestingly, even the twenty percent that didn’t agree said they were less likely to vote in Republican primaries, according to CBS, making them even less likely to be an important factor.
The poll also showed, by big numbers, that Republicans want the party to follow Trump’s example on issues like the economy (89%), immigration (88%), leadership (80%) and how to treat the media (77%). Sixty-six percent said being loyal to Trump was important, 33% said it wasn’t important. Sixty-seven percent said they didn’t believe that Joe Biden was the legitimate winner of the election. While concerns about what happened in the 2020 election were important, it was most important to be focused on the right policies — that important legislation and agreeing on economic policy was more important.
The poll was conducted of 951 Republicans or “Republican-leaners” in the U.S. by YouGov between May 12-14.
This should be a big, flashing signal to Cheney and to the Never Trump folks, that if they think they’re sweeping Trump to the side, the Republican base isn’t going to have that. That they have no future in the party; put a fork in them.
But perhaps, even more than that, it’s showing that Republican voters want the party to continue on the path that Trump started on the economy, on immigration, and pushing the issues they care about. They don’t want to veer off that path by distractions, whether those distractions are from Democrats or Liz Cheney.
