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.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
