Cheney vows to fight other Republicans who embrace Trump's election lie

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The former top Republican Liz Cheney, who lost her Wyoming seat in Congress last week when she was beaten in a primary by a Donald Trump-endorsed challenger, is threatening to turn her political muscle against other prominent politicians in her party who have embraced the former president’s attack on democracy.

In an interview with ABC News aired on Sunday, she said that some of the best known Republican figures are now within her sights. She name-checked Kevin McCarthy, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley – all of whom have openly supported Trump’s lie that electoral fraudsters stole the 2020 presidential race from him and handed it to his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

In the wake of her Wyoming defeat, Cheney has announced plans to set up a new political organization and has indicated that she is considering a 2024 presidential run designed to stop Trump from re-entering the White House.

Her comments on Sunday suggest that her plans to confront election deniers go much wider than Trump himself.

I love when the opposition has a circular firing squad.

1. Who will she go after first?

I think Kevin McCarthy is at the top of her list.

2. Just to be clear, there's no way to do this without supporting the Democrats opposing them.

The primaries are almost over. If she wants to continue the fight against election deniers, she's going to have to start publicly supporting their Democratic opponents at some point.

3. Good.. the More Against the Fucking

DT the Better.

6. Good for her!

Take it to them! Let their supporters know they have been lied to. Let them know the damage they have done to our democracy.

7. Liz, please take your new found leisure time for hunting trips with your dad

The ONLY reason ANY one welcomes Liz to anti-Trumpism, would be if that person believes that the ONLY thing wrong with the Retrumplicans Party is Trump.

Is she going to work to elect Democrats?

Is she going to work on behalf of the Dem running for her seat?

I mean, really Liz, NOTHING WOULD HELP MAKE THE RETRUMPLICAN PARTY THROW DONNIE DIPSHIT UNDER THE BUS QUICKER THAN LOSING THE WYOMING HOUSE SEAT TO A DEMOCRAT.

But, Liz won't do that. She wants her authoritarian Retrumplican Party a little more "nuanced"

It's totally a chicken-egg thing Liz.

Your parties rhetoric, policies, scorched-earth judicial shenanigans and propaganda brought us Donnie Dipshit. It's not like Donnie Short Fingers had to look very hard to find a racist, hate-filled, fascist criminal enterprise to take over. Your Retrumplican Party was all wet and moist and just waiting for him to grab it by the p***y.

Look Liz, your help would be welcomed if the problem with the Retrumplican Party was just Donnie Shit for Brains, but there's a hell of a lot more wrong with your party than Donnie.

So, thanks for it least acknowledging that you supported a fascist madman with a shaved Golden Retrievers ass for a face, but defeating one authoritarian dipshit for another is NOT exactly David Farraguts "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead" level courage.

So please, go duck hunting with dad. Leave the saving of Democracy to people that actually believe in it.

8. "Is she going to work to elect Democrats?"

Isn't that what she would be doing??
