Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) is comparing former President Trump's election claims to those of the Chinese Communist Party, concluding “it’s very dangerous and damaging.”
“When you listen to Donald Trump talk now, when you hear the language he's using now, it is essentially the same things that the Chinese Communist Party, for example, says about the United States and our democracy,” Cheney said on “The Axe Files” podcast, which was released on Monday.
“When he says that our system doesn't work ... when he suggests that it's, you know, incapable of conveying the will of the people, you know, that somehow it's failed — those are the same things that the Chinese government says about us," Cheney continued. “It's very dangerous and damaging ... and it's not true.”
Cheney’s remarks come nearly one month after she was removed from her leadership position, in part because of her anti-Trump stance. She repeatedly called out Trump for his false claims of election fraud and refused to give credibility to his belief that the 2020 election was stolen.
Cheney was replaced by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) as House GOP Conference chair. Minutes after her ouster, Cheney vowed to “do everything I can to ensure that the former president never again gets anywhere near the Oval Office.”
During the podcast interview, Cheney also condemned House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for meeting with Trump in Mar-a-Lago following the Jan 6. attack at the Capitol by the former president's supporters.
She said she was “stunned” when she saw McCarthy meeting with Trump, adding, “I could not imagine any justification for doing that.”
She said Trump committed the “most dangerous” and “most egregious” violation of an oath of office of any president in history, and McCarthy's meeting with the former president was “inexcusable.”
"And so the idea that a few weeks after he did that, the leader of the Republicans in the House would be at Mar-a-Lago, essentially, you know, pleading with him to somehow come back into the fold, or whatever it was he was doing, to me was inexcusable,” she said.
McCarthy and Trump both backed Cheney’s ouster and endorsed Stefanik to replace her as the number three House Republican.
The only person being damaged here is Liz.
She is talking right now just like McCain, Romney and Flake.
Two of those three are gone and Romney is being protected by the Mormon Church.
Why doesn’t she just shut up?
This person is loony tunes. She’s lost any rational thought. Raving lunatic.
Isn’t her 15 minutes over yet?
Gosh, Liz, you know, maybe you oughtta like, you know, realize it’s your own self and your, you know, Democrat allies that you’re describing.
“...that it’s, you know, incapable of conveying the will of the people, you know, ...”
FU...you know.
She’s the mouthpiece for the entire Bush family cabal.
It is "dangerous" to sit back and accept a STOLEN ELECTION!!!!
Liz, Shut up you nasty bitch. You don’t become a leader because your family spewed you out.
Who in the hell's interests is she looking out for?
Or, what in the hell does she fear?
Or is she just plain ol' nuts?
One is inclined to suspect one of the first two or both, much more so than the latter.
“it’s very dangerous and damaging.”
Liz, I believe that we can say the exact thing about your face. Get behind us Satan.
Every time Cheney says "you know", it means she is looking for assurance and agreement.
It also means that she doesn't believe her own statements.
You know ?
She really is dumb. Like the kid who keeps riding his hot wheels into the wall and cant figure out that he needs to turn the wheel.
Why doesn’t she just MOVE to a Country more to her liking, like Cuba or Venezuela?? Can we just have her Deported?
TDS has rotted out Liz’s head.
Shut up Liz.
You’re the one who poses a problem. No one wants to hear from you.
We like...love...President Trump.
If, you know, we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats, you know, we’ll Make America North Mexico, you know.
