The former U.S. Rep. gave the commencement speech at her alma mater Colorado College, a liberal arts school she graduated from in 1988

Graduates booed and turned their chairs away from former U.S Rep. Liz Cheney as she delivered the commencement address at Colorado College on Sunday.

Cheney repeated her fierce criticisms of former President Trump but steered clear of talking about his 2024 reelection campaign or her own political future.

The Wyoming Republican blasted her House Republican colleagues for not doing enough to combat Trump's lies that the 2020 election was stolen.

Same thing happened to Benedict Arnold. The Brits never trusted him.

I suspect that by being the anti-Trump attack dog, she expected to have a lot of Leftist world.

...sorry bitch, doesn’t work that way.

Something else traitors never learn. The enemy they are working for never trust them anymore than their own side does.

This reaction is somewhat surprising.
Maybe she was spending too much speaking time trashing Trump and barely speaking of the graduates themselves.

One graduate's message to Cheney was splashed on her cap. It read: 'Why listen to a racist, imperialist, transphobic, war monger?? Your hate is loud.'

Not that I disagree that she's a racist, imperialist, transphobic, war monger. (And several other expletives.) But sometimes Trumpophobia alone isn't enough.

Colorado College is not Hillsdale College. It is the Rocky Mountain version of Vassar College, Wellesley College, etc., and the other uber liberal arts colleges on the east and left coasts. If they booed Cheney, it had nothing to do with her stance on Trump, but because she is the progeny of Dick “the sharpshooter” Cheney.

And I bet she never mentioned Memorial Day in her speech, despite all the wonderful servicemen and women who need to be memorialized as a result of the needless war he pushed to start based on lies.

CONTEXT.

How many total graduates at the ceremony?

How many turned their backs?

I thought so.

And what in my post suggested that I believe anything different?

I am tickled when Liz Cheney is humiliated regardless of who is responsible.
