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. RedState has written many stories on her and her family's (among others') recent endorsement of the radical leftist Dem nominee, Kamala Harris (find more here). Read related: With This Presidential Endorsement, Liz Cheney Places the Final Nail in Her Political Coffin Democrats React to Dick Cheney Endorsing Kamala Harris and Expose Themselves in the Process The Republican Party Is Dead, Long Live the Republican Party - VIP 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). Watch:
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR), who was press secretary during the Trump administration, then had the unenviable task of reacting to Cheney. She didn't just give a perfunctory response, which would have been good enough. More on that in a minute. Sanders let viewers in on an insider analysis/preview for the debate Tuesday, and why she thinks we aren't really hearing about Trump but pages and pages of stories on Harris' debate prep:
She said the contrast couldn't be clearer: "Donald Trump has a good story to tell. He shows up at this debate from a position of strength." Here was the best part. She spoke for so many of us in the conservative movement, on exactly what these endorsements of a progressive Democrat say about Cheney and other Never Trump "Republicans." Watch:
She continued, saying it isn't a "shock" or "news" that Cheney doesn't support Trump, "[b]ut what should come as a shock is that she is trying to call herself a conservative Republican or either one of those two words while supporting somebody who so clearly does not represent conservative principles." Did that line about the establishment give you goosebumps? Because it did for me. This--right here--is exactly the way it should be done. We need more on our side speaking about all of the opposing forces we must fight to get the country turned around. |
