“Two years ago, I won this primary with 73 percent of the votes. I could easily have done the same again, the path was clear, but it would have required that I go along with President Trump’s lie about the 2020 election. That is a path I would not take.”
If Trump is lying about the 2020 election then what does that say about WY voters. Is she calling them liars as well?
Yes. That’s why she lost.
It would be one thing if she was a low-information Democrat voter, and got fooled by the fake news lies and propaganda - but she was not.
She is a well-informed Republican Congressman with a high level of security clearance - she has absolutely no excuse for choosing the wrong side of history the way she did.
Obviously, the Cheneys are butt-hurt from the ass-kicking Trump gave JEB! in 2016. Trump destroyed the Bush/Cheney legacy - they wanted to be remembered as the avengers and protectors of 9/11. Trump rebranded them as the perpetrators of endless wars that cost American blood and treasure, made them rich, and accomplished exactly nothing good. They will hate him forever.
But even being blinded by hate can’t explain how they could turn on half of America just because we voted for Trump. That kind of pathetic and vindictive behavior in educated adults is mind-boggling.
Let’s hope Cheney’s complete fall from grace serves as a wake-up call for other TDS patients - and sends the message that nursing a hate-driven anti-Trump vendetta will land you in the trash heap of history.
