Liz Cheney: The GOP Is At a Turning Point. History Is Watching Us

It is great news that she is on the way out.

Donald Trump didn’t have it in him to purge these people from the GOP. He embraced them and used his presidency to push their agenda. They returned the favor by voting for Joe Biden. We were furious with Trump for keeping these snakes in the grass around.

Washington Post:

“Donald Trump has repeated his claims that the 2020 election was a fraud and was stolen. His message: I am still the rightful president, and President Biden is illegitimate. Trump repeats these words now with full knowledge that exactly this type of language provoked violence on Jan. 6. And, as the Justice Department and multiple federal judges have suggested, there is good reason to believe that Trump’s language can provoke violence again. Trump is seeking to unravel critical elements of our constitutional structure that make democracy work — confidence in the result of elections and the rule of law. No other American president has ever done this.

The Republican Party is at a turning point, and Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution. In the immediate wake of the violence of Jan. 6, almost all of us knew the gravity and the cause of what had just happened — we had witnessed it firsthand. …

I am a conservative Republican, and the most conservative of conservative values is reverence for the rule of law. Each of us swears an oath before God to uphold our Constitution. The electoral college has spoken. More than 60 state and federal courts, including multiple Trump-appointed judges, have rejected the former president’s arguments, and refused to overturn election results. That is the rule of law; that is our constitutional system for resolving claims of election fraud. …”

I don’t care about any of this.

Donald Trump isn’t even the president anymore.

My problem with Liz Cheney is that she is a neocon. I’ve disliked these people since they plunged us into the Iraq War.
