Liz Cheney’s fifteen minutes were up several years ago, to borrow the famous phrase from the late, pop artist/filmmaking genius Andy Warhol. Yet she persists, seemingly only fixated on one goal in life: Demonizing former President Donald Trump and doing whatever she possibly can to prevent voters from returning him to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in November.
In loving support of that group’s efforts, loyal Democrat soldiers in arms ABC News featured the disgraced, former Wyoming Republican congresswoman as its opening guest on the “This Week” program Sunday. I’m not going to give a full run-down on all of the dishonest statements Cheney made during her sit-down with host Jon Karl, but one detail really stuck out to me.
The way this segment of the questioning started, with Karl asking her whether she still considers herself a Republican, because she said she would leave the GOP if Trump were the nominee, says so much.
She flatly stated that she’s “a conservative…[I’ve] been a lifelong Republican….I’m certainly not a Trump Republican.”
Take a listen to this, though, something so conniving, I wouldn’t have believed she said it unless I saw it with my own eyes. It was in reply to the host asking Cheney to react to Republicans “who are absolutely adamant they’re not supporting Donald Trump but they’re not taking the next step, they’re going to write somebody in.”
He name-checks Mitt Romney, former vice president, Mike Pence, and former Gov. Larry Hogan (R-MD).
