Who is Liz Cheney?
Liz is the daughter of former Vice President, Dick Cheney under George W Bush. She held a seat in the house of representative for Wyoming. She has a law degree and practiced law once upon a time. If you can connect the dots, she’s spent her entire life surrounded by politics in one shape or form.
What is important? Why the buzz?
She’s the republican candidate that lost her primary reelection race to Trump endorsed conversative republican candidate Harriet Hageman.
She is the same woman that lost her third ranking house seat to Elise Stefanik back in 2021 after the January 6 debacle. Liz was just simply replaced by her white male counter parts with a woman that just followed their lead.
Cheney didn’t fall in line with the party who is now (and has been looking) like they fear the rath of the voting supporters of Trump. I can’t fathom that these adults actually believe the ridiculousness but if they want the loyal Trump voters, they may have to lie to get them. (shocking I know)
When?
The drama started after the 2021 January insurrection. She wasn’t helping her cause when she voted to impeach Donald Trump either.
Where?
In the public eye, on Capitol Hill, Liz made it her business to make sure she voted along the lines of the GOP. She had a disdain for the new GOP views that had roots in the legacy that is Trump. Don’t believe me? Google the post Trump GOP era. Compare it to the version that came before Obama. She took a stand to voice her opinion of not following the path of the views of the new Republicans and the old ones that need to Trump’s support in order to get the votes of his followers.
Is the drama worth our attention?
We shouldn’t care about the internal fighting inside the GOP. What I can say is that Liz Cheney voted alone party lines while Trump was in office at least 93% of the time. It wasn’t until the debacle of calling the 2020 election fraudulent that she decided that enough was enough. There will be a writer who will pen her in history as the savior of the GOP and good old American politics.
She leads the way on the J6 committee. They will build a narrative of the wrongful stance of the Trump claim that the 2020 election was stolen from the former president.
Personally, your reputation speaks long before an insurrection. I am not a politician but I will watch all six seasons of House of Cards to remind people that votes are bought. Your party line is your party line. What’s right for the American people doesn’t always sit on either side of that line and well, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Her behavior is the same behavior of any other white woman we hear and read about. Vote your way until you need to be seen in a different light and it benefits you and you only.
Her next move- 2024 presidential candidate.
