Finishing her carving on whatever we call the opposite of Mount Rushmore, loser RINO Liz Cheney, who lost by 37% to Trump-backed Harriet Hageman in Wyoming’s August primary, spoke with PBS’s Judy Woodruff. Throughout the conversation, she complimented current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi for her “tremendous leadership.”
“I want to say a word about Speaker Pelosi. Everyone knows she is a liberal from San Francisco [and] I am a conservative from Wyoming, there are many, many issues, maybe most issues, on which we disagree. But I think that she is a tremendous leader,” Cheney said, the last person on earth who considers her a conservative.
“I’ve watched her up close. She is a leader of historic consequence,” she added while noting that Pelosi was created the “bi-partisan” January 6th Committee as a result of her “commitment to the truth.”
She also brought up the recent episode in San Francisco, where Nancy’s husband Paul was suspiciously attacked, and addressed a larger concern of political violence.
“I think the demonization that goes on both sides — certainly Republicans have, through the years, demonized Speaker Pelosi and Democrats have demonized Republicans including my dad [former Vice President Dick Cheney] — all has to stop,” she said.
“Violence has become part of our political discourse,” she added, while saying political violence is “a road we just cannot go down.”
Cheney then returned to the issue of Pelosi’s leadership and warned of the looming threat posed by a Republican takeover of the House.

“People just need to understand what it will mean to have a Republican majority in the House of Representatives,” she commented. “The people who will be running the House of Representatives in a Republican majority will give authority and power to some of the most radical members of the conference and I don’t think that that’s good for the country.”
Whether she knows better and is just gaslighting or actually believes what she’s saying is immaterial; the fact that Liz Cheney can pretend that Nancy Pelosi represents anything good about Congress and that MAGA Republicans – who deep down simply want less federal government in their lives – are a threat to the republic is pure insanity. Even more bizarre is that her dad, while vice president, was considered one of the worst humans on earth by the very people she is cozying up to.
To be sure, Dick Cheney was an awful public servant and enriched himself and his friends during the entire Bush presidency at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives, but the fact remains Liz has no problem ignoring that if it means the Establishment and Deep State’s power remain unchecked by a growing tide of resentment among regular Americans.
Asked about how she will spend her final months in office, Cheney told Woodruff that she will embark on various campaign stops and offer endorsements to swamp creatures ( Democrat Elizabeth Slotkin, for example) and continue her work with the still-happening J6 Committee. She did not indicate what her plans are after her lame-duck period ends.
“At the end of the day, I’m confident that Donald Trump and those who would thwart our Democratic process will not prevail and I am going to do everything I can to make sure that is the case,” she concluded.
January 2023 cannot come fast enough.
