Liz Cheney would rather see Democrats win in 2024

Former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney would rather cede power to Democrats than see members of her own party win in 2024, she said, calling a Republican majority a “threat,” and warning of an existential crisis leading up to next year’s election.

“I believe very strongly in those principles and ideals that have defined the Republican Party, but the Republican Party of today has made a choice and they haven’t chosen the Constitution, and so I do think it presents a threat if the Republicans are in the majority in January 2025,” the Wyoming Republican said during an interview with CBS, when asked whether she would prefer a Democratic majority in 2025.

Once the No. 3 leader of the House Republican Conference, Cheney was booted from her role and later lost her seat after bucking her party to take a stand against former President Donald Trump in the wake of the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.

Cheney overwhelmingly alienated members after refusing to tamper her criticisms of the former president in the weeks and months following the insurrection — unlike the then-leader of the caucus, Kevin McCarthy, who quickly returned to Trump’s side after initially condemning him for his role in the riot. Cheney became the top Republican on the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack. In 2022, she lost in the primary for her Wyoming seat.

Cheney has since written a book that details the groundwork laid by members of her party — including new House Speaker Mike Johnson — that led to the events of Jan. 6. “Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning” is to be released Tuesday.

In an excerpt of the interview that aired Saturday, Cheney called the Louisiana Republican a “collaborator” in Trump’s attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election. In the full interview Sunday, Cheney warned against sending the little-known Republican back to the role in 2025.

“What happens if Mike Johnson is the Speaker on the 6th of January 2025?,” CBS’ John Dickerson asked.

“He can’t be,” Cheney replied. “We are facing a situation with respect to the 2024 election where it’s an existential crisis and we have to ensure that we don’t have a situation where an election that might be thrown into the House of Representatives is overseen by a Republican majority.”

Hey Lizzy.... The democrats and media hate you with the same vitriolic hatred they have for Trump. I look forward when they destroy you after your useful idiot status expires.

Make no mistake, the Republicans wanted Hillary Clinton to win in 2016.

Hillary Clinton. Just think of that.

The Republicans had their boys Yeb Bush and Chris Christie lined up to take a dive just like McCain and Romney had done previously.

The Republicans attacked Donald Trump in 2016 and continue to this day because he, and we deplorables, ruined their plan.

Her cottage cheese thighs are spread wide open at this point, exuding a sour melange of dumpster juice and three day old luosifen, hoping that some deepstate/leftist media organ will pick her up and give her a ride.

“ As a related aside, my long-time GOPer DW is so put off by Trump’s name-calling that she refuses to consider voting for him when/if he wins the nom. She is not alone.”

That’s a perfect example of small mindedness.

The Cheneys had many conservatives fooled, but people in WY woke up far sooner than the Arkansans who continued to embrace Bill Clinton. Does he ever go back to Little Rock; isn’t that where is presidential library is located. I never see mention of him going “home” to AR even for a short visit. Eventually, though the Arkansans did wake up. Now, they need to overhaul their House representation.

It’s not that Liz is trying to undermine the country; she’s just wanting to get more money for herself from defense contract deals.

Certainly a very bitter woman who vastly underestimated the support of her Utah constituents. Nothing worse than a woman scorned.
