Liz Cheney Is Not the Future of the GOP.
2021-02-03
[Human Events] In the immediate aftermath of most tragedies, ordinary people usually find solace in prayer and reflection, and finding ways to help in any way they can. Politicians, however, are a different breed.

Right after the January 6th riots, Congressional Democrats and establishment Republicans used the tragedy that occurred at our Capitol to settle political scores, fundraise, and promote themselves on social media. The actions by these politicians have only further driven the nation apart. Blinded by their blind ambition and desire to gain more political capital, they’ve whipped their base into a frenzy and have turned Americans against each other.

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) is one of the worst offenders of this type of political showmanship. Following the January 6th riots, Cheney and her measly gang of nine other House Republicans voted to impeach an outgoing President without a trial or opportunity for a public defense. It was the further erosion of our institutions and the continued slide towards a banana republic.

Given that President Trump had just a few days left in his presidency, voting to impeach him was more about making a statement than removing a president. Cheney was trying to say that Trump has no future as a leader of the country or the GOP. This isn’t just a stance against President Trump. It’s a stance against America First.

#2  Cheney is a representative, not a senator. there are 211 repubs in the House. So that number you are trying to arrive at is 4.26%
