You can take the Republican out of her House leadership post, but you can’t take the politician out of the Republican.
Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) ― whose condemnation of Donald Trump’s election lies made her an enemy in her own party ― showed she still has an allegiance to the GOP.
Cheney, who was purged from House leadership this month because of her Trump criticism, suggested to Axios in an interview broadcast on HBO Sunday that she did not see a cause-and-effect between the GOP’s false cries of cheating in swing states and Republican-led voter suppression measures.
“You don’t see any linkage between Donald Trump saying the election was stolen to Republicans and all these state legislatures rushing to put in place restrictive voter laws?” journalist Jonathan Swan asked.
Cheney dodged a direct response, but Swan pressed, noting it was not a coincidence that Republicans intensified their drive against voting after critical election losses. Then Cheney went full mealy-mouth:
“Everybody should want a situation and system where people who ought to be able to vote and have the right to vote can vote, and people who don’t, shouldn’t,” she said.
A reported 45 states have moved to restrict voting after key Republican defeats in the U.S. Senate and the presidency in 2020 and 2021. In some states that clamped down on voting, including Florida, Trump and other GOP candidates prevailed.
Twitter users had words for Cheney ― and they weren’t flattering.
@LizCheney acted human for 2 seconds now people are expecting it?

Liz Cheney may deny the former guy’s Big Lie, but she’s all in for the Big Lie of voter fraud. She knows Republicans cannot win unless voter suppression laws are enacted.

Come on folks, let’s remember a leopard never changes its spots. Liz Cheney is a dyed in the wool R…..that is never going to change. She did the right thing in dealing with 45 but that’s all, let’s not make a saint out of her.

The Twitter users comments are very telling! That there are a lot of twits & nitwits blowing oral butt-gas on that site. They’ll still be sniveling when all the voter fraud from 2020 comes out! Brainless morons!
I would trust her about as far as I can throw my house.
She is changing her tune now because she knows she will be voted out come election time ! Don’t be fooled voters !
She’s a pathetic,incompetent, loud mouth, rhino that needs to be replaced, permanently, along with the rest of them,like romney,assinger,collins,katcko, time to get real new blood republicans that will listen to the people who elect them, were fed up with the bs, all rhinos kicked to the curb next election.
Where is my post ?
Do not trust her!! She’s a traitor!! A rino!! keep her out!! Send her home where she belongs!!
Do not trust her!! She’s a traitor!! A rino!! keep her out!! Send her home where she belongs!!
We conservative voters just love a politician that flip flops. Is have more respect for her if she’d have stuck to her guns but she showed us the true politician in her. Pandering only works with leftist voters. Perhaps she should just admit she’s a Democrat and ne with people who think like her. She has committed political suicide as far as Republicans go so she might as well change the R to a D because that’s the only support she is going to get.
Vote her out anyway.
A Jerkette.
Oh please!! You don’t answer a question with a straight answer. Why don’t you just run as a democrat or better yet, quit!
It is my opinion that those dems and rhinos who hate 45 so badly, is because he got in the way of their money slide. There can be no other reason to hate a man who puts his country FIRST!! ‘ except for their corruption and greed. He tried to clean the swamp and it is just tooo deep.
Liz Cheney cannot be trusted. She will smile and agree with you while stabbing you in the back and twisting the knife.
Liz Cheney is a two-headed snake. I would not trust her with our fragile country.
-Who wrote this article? Patriots 4 Freedom who?

-“Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) ― whose condemnation of Donald Trump’s election lies made her an enemy in her own party”
–What lies were those? That Democrats cheated and then obstructed any forensic checking until after 1/06/21?
Seems like Democrats were the election liars.

-“Cheney, who was purged from House leadership this month because of her Trump criticism, suggested she did not see a cause-and-effect between the GOP’s false cries of cheating in swing states and Republican-led voter suppression measures.”
–What “false cries of cheating?” How about, dozens of election laws were ILLEGALLY changed at the last minute due to the “Covid F L U”. By people who had not authority to change them. And these many new ways of election CHEATING, are now being touted by Democrats as the “new norm”. When instead the MAJORITY of the country demands that we go back to voting the way WE ALWAYS HAVE. Which is on election day, IN PERSON. Democrats LIE, and intimidate, and if Democrats can’t continue to Cheat-By-Mail like in this last 11/03/20 election, Democrats use the LIE that people are being suppressed. How are voters being suppressed? Everyone could get to the polls before 11/03/2021 and everyone can get to the polls after 11/03/2021.
That suppression lie, to keep cheating loophole laws on the book, is Democrat BS. Calling it out here and now.

-“You don’t see any linkage between Donald Trump saying the election was stolen to Republicans and all these state legislatures rushing to put in place restrictive voter laws?”
–Actually none of those laws are restrictive and all of these laws have been in place for years and years. Republicans are just putting BACK in place all the laws that Democrats ILLEGALLY changed, by people that had no AUTHORITY TO CHANGE THEM for just this one 11/03/2020 election. Amazing how writers can make it sound like these one-off changed election laws for 11/03/2020 have been in effect for years. When in reality, these new laws were just put in place for this one 11/03/2020 election. And these “new” laws were found to open the doors to massive Democrat Electronic Election Fraud.

-“A reported 45 states have moved to restrict voting after key Republican defeats in the U.S. Senate and the presidency in 2020 and 2021.”
–Not true. The author of this article is trying very hard to twist a lot of truths.
Actually, prior to 11/03/2020, only 5 states had Cheat-By-Mail. All of the remaining 45 states voted in person, on election day. And we deserve to continue to do so. There is the greatest chance of election integrity when people vote in front of election officials. So much easier to cheat when no one is watching. Former President Jimmy Carter did a bipartisan study on Cheat-By-Mail and came to that conclusion too.
To implement Cheat-By-Mail on a massive scale, including in 45 states that NEVER had Cheat-By-Mail before, for a presidential election, was a recipe for disaster.
It caused massive Democrat Electronic Election Fraud. Most states had old Voter Lists that contained names of people who had moved out of state and people that had died. Elections in those states are invalid, per U.S. law, due to invalid and not up-to-date Voter lists.
##
I am surprised the whole 11/03/2020 election has not been declared invalid due to all the massive Election Fraud. This is NOT the same as any prior election. Dozens of laws were changed.
##
No one has any respect for any upcoming elections unless all the INVALID ILLEGAL changes to Election laws are changed back to the way they were BEFORE the 11/03/2020 election.
I love a literate individual! It is not a democrats versus republicans issue it is CONSERVATIVES versus progressives, liberals, socialists, globalists, democrats, rinos, communists, Maoists, new world orderists, Leninists, monarchists, whatever name they want to use where the individual really wants government ruling the governed. Where there is a ruling class with one standard of living and all others being provided for by the ruling classes using different laws than the ruling class.
The only “big lie” is that Biden won.
