Rep. Liz Cheney: GOP is at a 'turning point'

[peppertree]

Number 3 House Republican Liz Cheney called on members of her party to choose allegiance to the Constitution over the "cult of personality" of former President Donald Trump in a scathing editorial published online by the Washington Post on Wednesday.

"The Republican Party is at a turning point, and Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution," wrote the Wyoming Republican.

"In the immediate wake of the violence of Jan. 6, almost all of us knew the gravity and the cause of what had just happened — we had witnessed it firsthand."

Cheney was among only 10 Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump in January, in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

She has since been harshly criticized by some Republicans, and is expected to lose her leadership position in the House Republican caucus soon.

Congresswoman Liz Cheney (R-WY):

"Republicans need to stand for genuinely conservative principles, and steer away from the dangerous and anti-democratic Trump cult of personality."

1. Really Liz?

Republicans weren't at a turning point in 2001, when they took a very dark turn? Invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq, curtailing civil rights domestically, instituting a torture regime, creating our very own gulags? None of that was a turning point for Republicans? Check with Daddy; he was right there for all of it. In a slightly more just world, he'd be getting the Rudolf Hess treatment right now.

2. No one is fighting harder for democracy...

...even though she is not very well-liked by most Democrats.

3. Really the only solution is for a new Republican party to start from scratch.

They should split off and start their own new party.
They should call it the Republican party or the GOP because so many voters will just vote on the name.
So we would have two Republican parties and the voters can choose which one they want.
That would make it good for everyone.(especially us.)

5. At a turning point? Sorry, but the Greeds past that "turning point" years ago.

And, like the true location of the Caesar's Rubicon is still debated today, historians will debate the exact time of the "turning point" of the Party of Sedition for as long as there is "history" to debate.
