This may cost her the next election, but she's showing other Republicans what decency and real courage look like.

There is much on which I don't agree with her, however I respect and admire her. She's shown more basic humanity in the past year than her father did in his entire career in Washington. Or that the Republican Party has shown in decades.

There have been protests since her first day in office - and she refuses to publicize her schedule, since she knows protesters will show up. Not to mention a district-wide billboard campaign, but instead she's only gotten far worse. She saw her national appearance alongside Gym Jordan during the impeachment hearings as her claim to fame and she's taken full advantage. This was the billboard I regularly saw on my way home:

I used to pass it on my way home, this was on Route 9 in the Town of Queensbury, just north of Glens Falls. It's gone now, and apparently it didn't have much effect, she's just doubled down since then. *sigh*

This is pretty much what he suggested that ALL the Repuke leadership should be doing ... calling out the white supremacists in their party. So far Liz Cheney is the only one doing it.

She knows exactly what she is doing.
Never forget she is a conservative to her core.

The Cheneys have not changed. The rest of the GOP is so lost the Cheneys are now the good and decent ones.

Absolutely disgusting that the GOP has gone that low.
