Liz Cheney posts photo of former VP in face mask and says 'real men wear masks'
CNN ^ | June 26 2020 | Caroline Kelly

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney posted a photo of former Vice President Dick Cheney sporting a face mask on Friday and took a shot at the manhood of people who refuse to wear face coverings in a seeming jab at President Donald Trump.

Liz Cheney, the No. 3 House Republican, posted the photo her father as lawmakers push harder for their constituents to wear face masks to limit the spread of coronavirus. Trump has been loath to wear a mask, despite the advice of public health experts. "Dick Cheney says WEAR A MASK. #realmenwearmasks," the younger Cheney tweeted Friday along with a photo of her father wearing a mask.

So Dickhead Cheney wears a mask while walking around his home in a cowboy hat and vest?

These people are worthy of contempt.

If Trump loses I will blame the Republicans, every single one of them, for not having his back.

If the person is not really a Republican ..not voting for them doesn’t do a lot of good...Instead of a RINO you get a demonrat?

“What a lady and definitely from a tough generation. Is she on immunosuppressed drugs?”

She takes something called CellCept. Started with high dose in 2007, but has weaned to low dose. Used to be on a steroid, too, but no more. She is tough.

In 2016 she’d march up to the doors of Hillary signs in the yard and offer the occupants come-to-Jesus conversations — while my brother sat in the car shaking his head and laughing.

“I hope the many, many Freepers who used to love and praise Dick Cheney have repented of that terrible mistake.“

Not a bit. I voted for Bush-Cheney twice and would gladly do it all over again - they were running against Al Gore and John Kerry.

And if Dick Cheney had run in 2008, perhaps that whole Obama nightmare could have been avoided.

It is unfortunate that mask-wearing has become so politically charged, that the loving daughter of heart-diseased 80 year old man can’t call her father a “real man“ for wearing one - without it being an attack against President Trump.

But that is where we are. Liz Cheney’s comment has already become welcome fodder for the fake news’ never ending strategy of pitting Republican against Republican.

And the saddest part of all? The fact that this familiar fake news ploy works so very well on modern day FReepers, who eagerly soak it up and run with it, much to the delight of the Democrats and the fake news!

Just look at this thread - non-stop bashing of a former Republican administration - echoing each and every Democrat talking point from 2004.

What will FReepers be saying about Donald Trump sixteen years from now?

Judging by this thread, FReepers will be dutifully peddling the Democrat talking points of today.

I voted for “W” (and his “brain”) twice. I had high expectations. They WERE NOT MET!

I had LOW expectations for his second term and THOSE WERE MET.

I can totally understand your husband’s wearing a mask because of the transplant. My youngest son had cancer surgery last year, and they took out approximately 78 lymph nodes. He also underwent 6 months of chemo treatments. His immune system may be compromised the rest of his life. He hasn’t been able to work since March of 2019, and wears a mask when he goes to the grocery store. He lives in Indiana. I live in New York State. I have problems getting breaths when I have to wear a mask. I have a deviated septum, and my nasal passages are always stuffy, so at times I have to breathe through my mouth, and then of course my glasses fog up. I have gotten headaches, and a scratchy throat from just wearing it a short time, so I make sure my time grocery shopping is as short as possible. I’m 72, and never smoked. It would be interesting to see what my oxygen levels are while wearing a mask. My levels are always good when my doctor checks them.

Remember when they and the Bushies ruled the day here on FR?

Threads glorifying how dreamy GW looked in his new sombrero? How Laura's newest upholstery cover plaid skirt and blazer were the bee's knees?

Fun times.

It was the only game in town then. We’ve learned since then.

And move on we did.

In a mere eight years, we would see the Bushie heir apparent raise 120 million bucks and get a grand total of three delegates in the GOP primary.

Maybe she should’ve said; Real OLD men with underlying heart conditions, wear masks.

They’ve taken 30 seconds away from calling him hitler, nazi, fascist, murderer, Satan, the anti-christ, baby killer, and formulating a case to have him executed for war crimes, to compliment him for wearing a mask.

I hate CNN.

I hate CNN.

I hate Dick Cheney because of his warmongering. As Trump says, the Bush-Cheney invasion of Iraq was one of the most stupid and destructive foreign policy blunders in US history

And the Cheneys are trying to stick the shiv in Trump for telling that truth

I know people who were booted from FR years ago for saying back then what Trump says now, about Bush, Cheney and the Iraq war

Real men are lying losers using a virus to scare others into submission. Flu season was over months ago.

No. I echo what Enumerated wrote - I would also vote for them again at that time given what we knew at the time.

I did not agree with all of President Bushes decisions or policies. But he was the right president at the time.

W was the person the GOPe wanted to have the nomination ... Today W is a blank slate when it comes to what his acts have brought forth ... The day I read the Bush family called ol bjClinton an adopted ‘son’ is the day they lost any credibility of being on the ‘right’. Today NONE of the Bush family will take responsibility of what their collective acts have done to these United States...

IMHO ... The Bush family are worse than the lying libtards, they sell a brand of ‘conservatism’ that they call compassionate .... I saw ol bjClinton for the political sellout whore that he was ... the Bush bunch were far more deceptive.
