Liz Cheney attacks Trump in closing message ahead of Wyoming primary [Video]
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
- Rep. Liz Cheney released a closing message video to Wyoming voters ahead of the state’s Republican primary.
- The congresswoman said in recent weeks that making sure Trump never returns to the White House is more important than her own re-election.
- Cheney is expected to lose on Tuesday’s primary to Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman.
Rep. Liz Cheney released a closing message video ahead of a Republican primary she is expected to lose next week, framing the congressional race as part of a bigger fight for the soul of the nation.
Regardless of the race’s outcome, Cheney, a Wyoming Republican, has publicly hinted recently that she will run for president in 2024. Privately, those close to her have done nothing to discourage others from assuming she will. And while her video message spoke of a long fight required to reject the “poisonous lies” of former President Donald Trump about the 2020 election, she did not give any specific hints about her future plans.
Cheney did, however, talk of a cause that she said would unite Republicans, Democrats and independents. That is a nod to a national effort she seems intent on leading that transcends party and ideology.
“America cannot remain free if we abandon the truth. The lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen is insidious. It preys on those who love their country. It is a door Donald Trump opened to manipulate Americans to abandon their principles, to sacrifice their freedom, to justify violence, to ignore the rulings of our courts and the rule of law,” Cheney said.
“This is Donald Trump’s legacy, but it cannot be the future of our nation,” she said.
“If we do not condemn these lies, if we do not hold those responsible to account, we will be excusing this conduct and it will become a feature of all elections. America will never be the same.”
Polls show Cheney is likely to lose her seat in Congress next Tuesday by double-digit margins, to a Republican primary challenger who has shown fealty to Trump and his baseless claims of a rigged election in 2020.
That challenger, Harriet Hageman, is expected not only to win the primary contest for Wyoming’s only congressional seat but, in a state that is largely Republican, to easily win the fall election.
Cheney has said for over a year that she is intent on keeping Trump out of the presidency for a second time, following his central role in fomenting an assault on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Since then she has been the top Republican on the select committee investigating Jan 6. The panel’s work has revealed how much of what happened on Jan. 6 was premeditated by Trump and his allies.
The questions facing Cheney now — if she does lose to Hageman — will revolve around how much she says about her future plans, including a possible White House run.

Just how can this Lizzy dizzy Rino Chaney continue to say trump was wrong in saying the 2020 election was stolen when there have been several people prosecuted for manufacturing thousands of fake and fraudulent ballots in that election? Liz Chaney is a lying criminal cunt Democrat.

She’s openly asking WY Democrats, since it’s legal there, to re-register as Republicans, ON ELECTION DAY, and vote for her. She’s the mud UNDER the snake’s belly!

The media never challenged the multitude of election changes made allegedly because of Covid. And the FBI and various intelligence leaders got on the anti Trump meme and stayed on it. Meanwhile the media claimed the Hunter Biden laptop was a fabrication, and pre dawn raids on Manafort, Stone, and now Mar Lago took place. Peter Navarro was publicly taken in shackles and strip searched. We now have the most pathetic group of leaders in modern history. And Mr. Garland has the gall to tell us the FBI will carry out justice evenly? They think the public is dumb.

‘Holding those responsible to account’ is what the people of AZ are going to do…since they just found a video of the man responsible for DELETING 2020 election info off of AZ election servers right before they were turned over for the audit. He had no clearance to be around the machines, but two more election officials let him use THEIR cards to get through the door, alone, several times. They know who he is, and the people whose cards he used.

If Liz Cheney had an ounce of decency in her she would apologize to President Trump for the lies and deception that were perpetrated
on President Donald J. Trump, by her and the Biden administration. The RAID on PresidentTrumps Mar largo home is the last straw!

I am still trying to figure out what President Trump did to the American People that Caused all this undo Hatred ???
He had $2.00 gas, More Hispanics and American Afro working, Wall Street was on a Tear, Did not start a war but manage to stop two or three, Had the Border at Least some what secure! Was bringing Mfg Jobs back to America, Was leveling the playing field with Communist China, Had dialog with North Korea, solve many Middle East problems ? But mostly he put American Hard working citizens First !!
But one thing he failed to do was !!! Drain The Swamp and who do you think is creating all the problems today ? The people who run the Swamp!!!
Ask anyone what President Trump did to screw up the USA !!!
I am getting a little fed up with all the doomsayers and Hooks Crooks and Comic Singer how he is going to screw up the country when you have all the Democratic Politicians making out like bandits with their insider trading and scamming the system .

It wasn’t his policies Scotty, it was his personality. Don’t tell me his personality doesn’t matter if he’s doing a great job. It might not matter to you or me but it matters to some, especially women. Many women and some men vote with their emotions not their brain. Trump was too stupid to figure that out

And I don’t think this Ukraine problem would have been an issue with Trump as President.Joey is weak and the world knows it.But also the democRAT agenda is another problem.When Trump was president the democRATs were fearful of losing their free ride to taxpayers dollars and their power and corruption that will destroy AMERICA.

Were there fraudulent votes? yes
Were rules changed in favor of democrats? yes
Have there been democrats that have encouraged violence? yes….Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer and others.
Did Trump encourage violence? I don’t know but I don’t think so.
My problem is this: The main reason Trump lost the 2020 election wasn’t as much due to cheating as it was his own doing. He can’t seem to get out of his own way. He attacked his opponents personally instead of attacking their policies and records. He made up lies about Ted Cruz, he attacked Jeb Bush on a nasty and personal level, he said of Carly “who could vote for a face like that”. Geez Trump, aren’t you smart enough to know when you say something like that about well liked female candidate you’re gonna lose a lot of female support? Is he too dumb to figure out that half the voting population is female? With Trump’s policies and a great economy, the election should have been a landslide. I don’t doubt there was cheating and voter fraud. Was it enough to change the results? Nobody really knows but I don’t think so. So many people that voted for Biden weren’t voting for Biden, they were voting against Trump. Remember, Hillary got more votes than Trump in 2016. I know Trump’s base is solid, but so are his enemies. Outside of his base he hasn’t got enough support to win a general election. Maybe if he runs against Biden or Harris, he’d have a chance but if the dems put up a decent candidate, he’ll lose. His base is not enough. He needs independents and women. I would hate to win the battle (the primaries) and lose the war (the general election) Conservatives, be smart. The republicans have a deep bench. Vote for a better candidate in the primaries.

Lizard is a wast of time and money! Lizard doesn’t stand a chance for the office of president, and I would love to listen to her in a debate with Trump.
I don’t know how old lizard is but from her looks I would say 75 years old! Wait more like 78.
