Liz Cheney ENDS Her Own Party with PERFECT Takedown - Against All Enemies



In the wake of Kevin McCarthy’s ouster as Speaker of the House, Lynn Cheney delivered a remarkable address at the University of Minnesota, backing Democrats’ decision not to support McCarthy's continued speakership. She also reminded attendees that Jim Jordan, now the frontrunner to inherit the Speaker’s gavel, is an immediate threat to democracy. - 10/12/2023.

This an article that goes into detail about what she has to say, kind of long but a quick read.

Cheney says elected Republicans must be held accountable for Trump

Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney was in Missoula last week for a talk hosted by the Mansfield Center. The discussion ranged from her memory of being at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, her thoughts on supporters of Donald Trump and her lack of surprise at the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House.

Cheney sat on stage at the Dennison Theater on Thursday night with former Republican Gov. Marc Racicot to talk about American democracy. Both Racicot and Cheney have faced backlash from the GOP for their criticism of the party in recent years.

“People ask me how many Republican House members do you think really believe that the election was stolen? And it's not double digits. I mean there may be two,” Cheney said.

She speculated who.

“One of them might be one of your representatives here in Montana,” Cheney said.

It was a really good speech, and dead on. But, the House GOP seems to know what their constituents want.
