On Thursday, I wrote about the award ceremony in which President Joe Biden gave the second highest civilian honor — the Presidential Citizens Award — to former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) for “putting the American people over party.”
I noted how she looked like she didn’t want to be there; she really looked like she wanted to flee the stage. But what I didn’t see on Thursday and if you look closely, she actually rolls her eyes as Joe Biden grabs her hand and tries to hold her there at about 11 seconds into the video.
I think she suddenly realized the picture that she was setting. She did everything she could to go against President Donald Trump, and still, he won. She lost in a big way, and then all she’s left with is standing next to the cognitively inclined Biden as her reward. That’s the side she chose, the side that the American people have soundly rejected. And this was all she got for her trouble, and maybe not even a pardon, after the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight referred her actions to the FBI for investigation.
She deserves a world of discomfort.
