Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney “secretly orchestrated” an op-ed in the Washington Post from all living former secretaries of defense slamming former President Trump’s handling of the military in January, according to the New Yorker.
Eric Edelman, a friend of Cheney’s, reportedly told the New Yorker that Cheney had personally met with all 10 living former defense secretaries, including Trump’s first defense secretary, Jim Mattis, urging them to participate in the op-ed. The report comes as Cheney is facing an onslaught of criticism from pro-Trump factions in the Republican Party who want to see her removed from the GOP leadership in the House of Representatives.
“She was the one who generated it, because she was so worried about what Trump might do,” Edelman told the magazine. “It speaks to the degree that she was concerned about the threat to our democracy that Trump represented.”
Cheney has become one of Trump’s most vocal critics within the GOP since he left office, arguing repeatedly that he has no place in the future of the party.
Trump has lashed out at Cheney and many other Republicans he views as rivals since departing from the White House, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Cheney survived by a wide margin an attempt to oust her from leadership in February. That time, however, she went into the vote with endorsements from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Minority Whip Steve Scalise.
Now, both of them, as well as Trump, have endorsed Republican New York Rep. Elise Stefanik to replace Cheney.
Lez is the Republican wing of the Democrat party.
Yep, just like I suspected.
Liz, along with McCain were two spies who were really working for the RATS.
I bet this is just the tip of the iceberg.
She’s a real snake.
She also should be booted from the GOP for what she has done. She is definitely more Rat than Pubbie
And that’s an insult to SNAKES!......................
She’ll wind up on MSNBC.....................
She’s a member of the establishment. That’s how it’s done. They have an agenda, and have absolutely no concern for America or Americans. There is very little difference between GOPe and Democrats.
And that’s an insult to SNAKES!......................
worth repeating!
In happier times they would be shot!
She’ll be a bad memory soon as her political career is over.
George Wallace was right....................
What’s so hard about R’s putting R’s in leadership roles? WHY do they always allow Dems to pick their “leadership”?
In DC? She’ll be their new darling!................
She’ll wind up on MSNBC.....................
Is that where Rachel Madcow Disease resides? Did she get the vaxx?
Have her worked over by enraged Americans, then have her ejected from the GOP AND her Congressional seat. Me, I’d tattoo a big red “T” for TRAITOR on her forehead. She is a disgusting piece of dung.
Of course she did
George Wallace was right....................
yes, he was
No doubt. A fake Republican to help spew fake news.
