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.
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.
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.
I'll take any help that saves democracy at this point. Every bit helps, one step at a time. Get rid of MAGA FIRST.
You take the bus that gets you closest to your destination.
Or you burn down all buses that lead to massive oppression and set themselves as your enemies by taking you towards genocide, border violence, police funding and massive military imperialism.
Yeah! Only the Cheney's should be able to financially cripple middle and lower class America while making themselves rich. Policy-wise she backs pretty much everything Trump wants. She just doesn't like him being the one to do it because he makes Republicans look bad
I probably don't agree with her on a LOT. But I still respect her for having the balls to stand up to Trump and his MAGA cult and call them out for being a danger to democracy. All the other Republicans are a bunch of lil bitches willing to go along with fascism in exchange for tax cuts.
I have zero respect for a daughter who follows in her war criminal fathers footsteps. Trump is the DIRECT result of the RNC. He's their bigotry, lies, and ignorance congealed into human form. He's just Reagan but a worse liar and less competent. He's all the racism and homophobia without the subtly. She doesn't deserve your respect because if she was president she'd essentially do everything Trump has pushed. Even the danger to democracy isn't new. Republicans created the war on drugs to cause mass incarceration to keep certain groups from voting and jail undesirables.
Fascism in exchange for tax cuts has been the Republican motto for 60 years and she's been a willing participant. She's no different from the rest of the leopards ate my face crowd. Ousted by what she helped create. Fuck her
