Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney on Sunday tied the “dangerous” House GOP chaos to former President Donald Trump’s behavior and the Republicans supporting him.
“I wish that it were surprising. You know, what we’ve seen is a result of really the leadership decisions that Kevin McCarthy made back after the 2020 election and certainly after January 6. And, you know, looking the other way in the face of the kind of assault on our democracy that we’ve seen from Donald Trump and his allies in the House,” Cheney told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”
Her comments come amid the House GOP’s high-stakes speakership battle after McCarthy was ousted more than two weeks ago. Rep. Jim Jordan on Friday became the latest to exit the race, prompting a crowded candidate field to seek the speakership.
It’s kinda funny that liz Cheney is the lesser of two evils… WTF clown world is this?
Seriously. She voted with the Trump admin 94% of the time. Its just that last 6% of disagreeing with “raw, violent treason” that apparently makes her “sane” in GOP terms.
Yeah, even though she agrees with her sith lord dad about just about everything, she’s made out by liberals and their favorite media outlets to be some kind of hero of restraint and common sense!
She’s pro-torture and still insists that the Iraq war was completely justified ffs!
There are no mainstream liberal media outlets. It’s all oligarchs, even MSNBC, and certainly CNN.
Liberal and oligarch are far from mutually exclusive. Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are excellent examples.
I think you might be confusing leftism with neoliberalism, the latter of which is a center right to right wing ideology that the Dem leadership and most mainstream media adhere to.
Trump is merely a symptom, the disease is the radicalization of the Republican party and it’s voters.
The disease is unlimited money in politics.
There are billionaires who were already radicalized to this level. They’re just pouring their fortunes into bringing everyone else into their fold, too.
Remember 15 years ago when Republicans finally stopped going after LGBTQ folks, and how that slowly started to erode after Citizens United? It is not coincidental. There are evangelist billionaires whose only concern in the world is a regressive future, and that’s bad for everybody.
The disease is racism, it doesn’t go deeper than that
Akshually…the disease is deez
That’s just nuts!
True, he’s an extremely malignant tumor, not the underlying cancer. As with literal cancer, though, the tumor will still kill you…
