Cheney: ‘McCarthy is going to make himself the leader of the pro-Putin wing’ of GOP
The Hill ^ | October 24th, 2022 | by Brad Dress

Posted on 10/24/2022 4:03:08 PM PDT by Mariner

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) on Sunday slammed House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for suggesting a Republican-controlled Congress would not guarantee additional military aid for Ukraine, accusing him of aligning with Russia and seeking “political gain.”

Cheney told NBC’s “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd that McCarthy “always chooses to serve his own political purpose.”

“The notion that now Kevin McCarthy is going to make himself the leader of the pro-Putin wing of my party is just a stunning thing,” she said, referencing Russian President Vladimir Putin. “It’s dangerous, he knows better.”

Last week, McCarthy said there would be no “blank check” to Ukraine if Republicans win control of Congress after the midterm elections.

People who think like this, and use this kind of language, must be eliminated from the party.

Just like Liz has been repudiated and eliminated.

It's time to put you foot down and not put up with it anymore. Anywhere.

I think Liz Cheney is Larping on this form as either PIFster, ZZspeedy, or Wee Wiilie.

“The fact that he’s willing to go down the path of suggesting America will no longer stand for freedom, I think tells you he’s willing to sacrifice everything for political gain,” Cheney, who was defeated in an August primary, said.”

Effin’ hypocrite.

It’s not “freedom” she cares about, otherwise we would send combat troops to half the countries of the world.

Cheney uses the exact same tactic our Neocons use.

Cheney doesn’t have a power base to work from. She has been kicked off her committees, she was thrashed in the primary. Yet she still acts like hers is the default position, because all her friends think the same way.

Using that kind of language to describe a milquetoast, get-along type like McCarthy will make her no friends, but mint her new enemies. She doesn’t even have a voice or face for a spot on Fox, so she’ll have to go the lobbying route with defense contractors or something.

Cheney can’t really believe all the stuff she is spouting. I wonder how much money she is being paid to say all these things? And, who is paying it? China? Soros? WEF? All of the above?

.
It’s simple, if every time Cheney attacks, the Republicans would call her out for covering up Biden’s Corruption and the Biden Cash business, she would’ve been exposed six months ago.

Why does Cheney ignore and encourage Corruption at the Presidential level?

Things that have been going on 10 yrs with protection on the inside.

That’s all it takes. No blank check, and you’re a Putinista. Sounds like some people ‘round here.

Liz thinks her next gig will be on some TV station as a conservative commentator. Once she is completely out of office, the lib nets will want nothing to do with her, just like they want nothing to do with little Dick. She is currently their useful idiot and like most useful idiots, they don’t know their 15 minutes of fame is just about over.

She has only 71 more days until her expiration date.

She will fade very quickly after that.

Yep... Anti-annihilation of the whole earth is deemed “pro Putin”.

It is a propaganda narrative and the Gungho fools are falling for it lock, stock, and barrel.

I often wonder if they actually WANT it to happen... It is the only thing I can figure from my observations.

Now I know for certain the truth over the Russian special military operation lies outside Zekensky and Cheneys

My first choice of countries to liberate would be Saudi Arabia.

But there’s a problem.

If the Saudis got the vote, they’d probably vote to increase the price of oil.

It’s hard to figure what she’s up to. She’s got to know that the media won’t want anything to do with her, and the Lincoln Project is moribund. So where’s she gonna go, indeed?
