Liz Cheney Just Came Up With the Saddest Tagline Ever for the Post-Trump Republican Party

Liz Cheney Just Came Up With the Saddest Tagline Ever for the Post-Trump Republican Party
NBC

Despite being the third-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) sparked widespread backlash within the party for denouncing former President Donald Trump.

After Trump's lies regarding the 2020 election prompted a mob of his extremist supporters to storm the United States Capitol, resulting in the deaths of five people, Cheney said in a statement that Trump "summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack."


She then became one of only 10 House Republicans to join all House Democrats in voting to impeach Trump for inciting an insurrection.

The consequences were almost immediate. Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) went to Cheney's district to denounce her, and she was censured by her home state's Republican party. Growing calls from pro-Trump representatives to remove her as the Republican Conference Leader resulted in a secret vote that ended with allowing Cheney to keep her position.

Cheney isn't backing down in her criticism of Trump.

Trump delivered a speech at Mar-a-Lago this past weekend where he once again pushed the lie that widespread voter fraud orchestrated by Democrats "stole" the election from him. He once again slammed former Vice President Mike Pence for not unilaterally throwing out the electoral votes of swing states Trump lost, despite Pence not having the power to do so.

Cheney took Trump to task for the comments in an interview with Meet the Press.

Cheney said:

"The former president is using the same language that he knows provoked violence on January 6th. As a party, we need to be focused on the future. We need to be focused on embracing the Constitution — not embracing insurrection."

Cheney's call for the Republican party to "embrace the Constitution, not embracing insurrection" was a sadly fitting slogan for today's GOP.






Like clockwork, pro-Trump Republicans sounded off against her



Constitution, not insurrection, indeed.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
