Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney said she would "much rather serve" among the ranks of national security minded Democratic women than with fellow Republican women Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene and Colorado Representative Lauren Boebert.

Cheney made the remarks during an interview with The New York Times, telling the paper she has a lot of pride in her work with the House Select Committee tasked with investigating the January 6 insurrection.


Cheney expressed her disappointment with her own party, which has largely backed and enabled former Republican President Donald Trump's lies about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election. In her capacity as the committee's vice chair, she and Illinois Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger have been praised for upholding their oath to honor the Constitution in the face of attacks from the far-right.

Cheney said:

“I would much rather serve with Mikie Sherrill and Chrissy Houlahan and Elissa Slotkin than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert, even though on substance certainly I have big disagreements with the Democratic women I just mentioned."
“But they love this country, they do their homework and they are people that are trying to do the right thing for the country.”

Elsewhere, she said the country needs "serious people who are willing to engage in debates about policy." She says it will take years to fix a "sick" GOP assuming "it can be healed."

Many praised Cheney for her remarks and offered their own feelings on the GOP.



Cheney's GOP primary opponent, Harriet Hageman, has received former President Trump's endorsement. Hageman backed Trump's "Big Lie" that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Cheney angered her own party and was ousted from her leadership position in the House after she pushed back against Trump's falsehoods about the 2020 election resilts. Trump issued a statement, more than three months after President Joe Biden took office, calling Biden's victory "the big lie."

Cheney responded shortly afterward with a statement of her own affirming the election "was not stolen," adding anyone who says it was is "turning their back on the rule of law, and poisoning our democratic system."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has long denied the successful effort to remove Cheney from her position as the House's third-ranking Republican is in any way related to her vote to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection.

Unfortunately, far too many members of sci-fi, fantasy and superhero/comic book fandoms are openly hostile to anyone who doesn't resemble the cast from the "good old days" of those genres—when their fictional universes were primarily populated by White, cisgender, heteronormative, men and the "dames" they hit on.
