Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) moments after she was ousted as the No. 3 Republican.
Join the club, Lizzy…
As a person represented by Kevin, I can say his “leadership” was sad and dangerous even when he was minority whip in the California Assembly. He is an empty vessel to be loaded with daily talking points, a donkey to carry water and ballast for the homoplutians.
Pass the nutcracker, sweet!!!
“I don’t think anyone is questioning the legitimacy of the presidential election.”
Then repeat after me:
The election was legitimate. Donald Trump lost. And Joe Biden is the President of the United States.
She’s good - sad and dangerous just about covers it.
It’s getting fugly.
Pull up a chair and watch the blood bath.
The GOP wants followers not leaders.
The GOP wants Trump acolytes.
Qevin just ousted a 92.9% Trump accolite, in favor of a 77.7% peon.
Trump aimed the gun at his own foot, and Qevin pulled the trigger.
.
Republicans are now their own worst enemies. They can’t keep their lies straight, everyone jumps on the first lie before someone pulls that one out from under them. They are pathetic and getting more so.
Fifty plus years ago the Cheney wing of the Republican Party decided that dog whistle racism was the route to power - think St Ronnie announcing in Philadelphia Mississippi and Bush the first with Willie Horton etc. tRump comes along and turns dog whistle into bull horn and they’re now all upset. Fuck all of them. They deserve each other.
I’d like to see Cheney make a big dent in the Trumpists but frankly her ‘truth’ is just as cruel and her ‘substantive’ and ‘principled’ policies even worse in some ways. Mutual destruction is the preferred path here.
“We have to decide as a party whether we’re going to embrace the truth.”
Umm, that decision has already been made.
In other words, what they did was astonishingly stupid. hahaha
Yep. At some point some R is going to have to ask: "Now how do we get back the Independents’ and suburban moms’ votes?
And the honest answer will be: “we can’t”
Keep throwing those bombs, Lizzie!
Astonishing. But not surprising.
She has discovered (too late) that Qevin has no principles.
Not at all - especially with Qevin McCarthy in charge.
