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.
No
Not much of an improvement. But at least we still have Frank Luntz’ soulmate, Kevin McCarthy, standing up for America!
Levin hated this guy Mattis from day one.
Republican leaders needs to be COMPLETELY taken out and replaced.
This has been evident since the Newt Revolution
And constantly be referred to as their panel's "Republican" voice. She will be used endlessly as the Republican tool to constantly criticize everything any Conservatives does. Kind of like how Colin Powell is trotted out every presidential election to state how he is aghast at the current Republican presidential nominee and has "decided" to vote for the Democrat. Like clockwork.
I have been an “Independent”, officially, for 40+ years...........
Yes! I agree with you on “The Snake” it is so perfect to describe what is going on right now.
Used to be. They got to him somehow............ Epstein?...........................
Liz is like Dubya ... she’ll do anything to please Daddy and earn his approval.
“It speaks to the degree that she was concerned about the threat to our democracy that Trump represented.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Incredible to have people in leadership who believe such kooky nonsense.
Actually it is a perfect statement for her, note she said “our” democracy, the the US democracy. She like everyone in the swamp believes it is THEIR personal country.

She’s a real snake.”
Who labels her venom as concern for the country.
Liz Cheney should be the new Senator for DC once it becomes a state....
She wouldn’t even have to MOVE.....
The Dumb RINO-CON bitch never spends any actual time in Wyoming anyways...
Ooh, what a nasty little back stabber this hag is.
A RINO Whitmore.
“Ashton Carter, Dick Cheney, William Cohen, Mark Esper, Robert Gates, Chuck Hagel, James Mattis, Leon Panetta, William Perry and Donald Rumsfeld are the 10 living former U.S. secretaries of defense.”
Political whores without an ounce of integrity the lot of them.
Shocked I say, just shocked.
Not really...... I mean if anything people need to realize that the Government just wants power and money, it’s not about R or D. Trump was a threat to the establishment and their funding. What did you expect?
Eisenhower had it right. The money is the defense dept....the industrial complex...is HUGE. Trump knew it.....played his cards that way but didn’t let them use the toys.
Liz is a grifter and knows how the game works.....
