Defeated for reelection in the primary and leading GOP figurehead on the Star Chamber-style House of Representatives persecution of the January 6 "insurrectionists,"Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo), is making a bid to trash the country on her way out.
Her first order of business was to condemn any efforts to lessen US involvement in the Russia-Ukraine war by calling Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's suggestion that a GOP majority might not continue military aid to Ukraine "disgraceful. Democracy must be better armed than tyranny." Inasmuch as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has outlawed all opposition parties in Ukraine it is not clear that either side in the conflict can rightfully claim to be a democracy.
Now, she is hitting the campaign trail to stump for "Democrats who will help save our democracy from enemies within." First to get Cheney's endorsement was Rep. Elissa Slotkin (Mich) "who's strong support for the war in Ukraine can't be matched by her GOP opponent Tom Barrett. Big donors have given her a substantial $9.3 million campaign chest compared to Barrett's measly $2.5 million. My endorsement should help her win in this 'toss up' race."
Cheney has also endorsed former 2020 presidential contender Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) for the open Senate seat "because he has vowed to confront and kill the MAGA movement. His opponent JD Vance was endorsed by Trump and has expressed suspicions about the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. Also, in this time of looming nuclear war our country must be united behind one leader. That leader is Joe Biden. Ryan can be relied upon to give his unwavering support to the President. Vance cannot be relied upon. His willingness to question the 2020 election shows that he might well question the decision to go to war with Russia. If there's one thing that my father, who was Vice-President under Bush, taught me it is that we must always oppose Russia no matter what the cost."

It’s not enough to say “Cheney lost.”
She got shellacked.....voters threw her out by by some 34 points.
Her legacy will be that of a squishy rat turd
Reminds me of Hillary. A woman who lost an election and is now irrelevant.
Watta decrepit pair.
Her legacy is about the same as Vidkun Quisling.
That’s very harsh and unfair to “rat turds.”. Liz Cheney isn’t worthy of being called a “ rat turd.”
