Fall Of Cheney

Rep. Liz Cheney, daughter of the former vice president, enjoyed a meteoric rise in Washington. In fact, it wasn't that long ago when many political observers expected her to be the first female Republican Speaker of the House. How times have changed!

Cheney has been kicked off the House GOP leadership team. Wyoming Republicans have kicked her out of the party. 

Now more than 100 House Republicans are helping to kick her out of Congress by sponsoring a fundraiser for her primary opponent, Harriet Hageman, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump. 

The GOP members opposing Cheney span the ideological spectrum -- from the conservative Freedom Caucus to the more moderate Mainstreet Partnership. Why would so many Republicans stand against their colleague?

Liz Cheney has $4.7 million in her campaign account. Much of it comes from left-wing mega-donors who live outside of Wyoming. Presumably, her GOP colleagues now see Cheney as a tool of the radical left, the same movement that has given us a Supreme Court nominee who can't define "woman." 

Cheney might not publicly endorse such bizarre thinking, but she's enabling it by allying with Nancy Pelosi in her jihad against Donald Trump and the America First movement. 

Whether she wins or loses her primary, Cheney is widely expected to wage a third party campaign against Trump or any other America First conservative in 2024, which would most likely guarantee a left-wing victory.
