In Wyoming yesterday, they held a primary election to determine among other things, if Rep. Liz Cheney would hold on to her congressional seat. The answer was a resounding no.
Harriet Hageman doubled Cheney’s tally in what can only be described as a blowout. This is made more interesting by the fact that in Wyoming, you can change party affiliation at the polls and a desperate Cheney has been campaigning for Democrats to cross over and help her out which many did. But to no avail.
She said in her concession speech:
A few years ago, I won this primary with 73 percent of the vote. 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. It would have required that I enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. That was a path I could not and would not take.
“President Trump’s Lie”. This was the very obvious fact that there were numerous irregularities and illegalities in the 2020 presidential election that warranted further investigation.
“Efforts to unravel our democratic system”. This was President Trump’s legal attempts to find electoral justice. This was discussing legal tactics that might allow him to prevail. This was totally constitutional.
But her hatred of Trump could not be set aside. She has spent her entire term as the ranking minority member of the “J6 committee”. Cheney, and another Trump-hater, Adam Kinzinger were appointed by Pelosi to replace Jim Jordan and Jim Banks appointed by Kevin McCarthy. So for the first time, this committee is totally partisan, made up entirely of Trump haters.
The opposition can’t call witnesses. They can’t cross examine the witnesses that are called. The proceedings are strictly choreographed, and produced by news agencies. It is the epitome of a show trial. Or as the Star Chamber of old.
So this is an anti-constitutional show trial, with no protections for the accused.
On Jan 6, They had a massive protest against election irregularities, and a few of them got rowdy, trespassed and committed vandalism. They call it “insurrection”.
Bullshit.
The bottom line is Liz Cheney is a member of the swamp that President Trump promised to drain. She is a member of the “uniparty” of establishment Democrats and establishment Republicans who are the left and right cheeks of the same ass. They don’t work against each other, they work together against us.
