#Rep Liz Cheney outspoken critic of donald dunce

+ With Republicans close to reclaiming control of the House next year, the treatment of Cheney suggests GOP leaders will do almost anything to rally the party's base, even if that means sweeping the events of Jan. 6 under the rug and embracing — or refusing to confront — Tr*mp's ongoing lie that he won the 2020 election, a campaign that he actually lost by a wide margin. + Those backing Cheney's ouster argue she has become a distraction by continuing to criticize Tr*mp, who remains the dominating force in the party. They want to move forward, they say, and focus on policy ideas and providing

a clear contrast with Democrats. + But critics see the fight as a larger distraction.  “My unsolicited advice would be: Talk about the future and what you offer to Americans,” said Alyssa Farah, the former Tr*mp White House communications director.  “I do worry that this is sort of showing that we're going to continue more the politics of personality, as opposed to the politics of policy and deliverables to the American public." + While a message about being “sufficiently pro-Tr*mp” may work in certain districts, Farah noted Republicans' focus on election interference depressed GOP turnout in Georgia, where the party lost two runoff elections in January that gave Democrats control of the Senate.  And Farah warned that aligning the party with lies about voter fraud could turn off suburban voters and older voters in key swing districts.

+ “Remaining silent and ignoring the lie emboldens the liar,” Ms. Cheney said. “I will not participate in that. I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former pres-ident’s crusade to undermine our democracy.” + Her defiant exit — and unmistakable jab at the House Republican leaders working to oust her — illustrates Ms. Cheney’s determination to continue her blunt condemnation of Mr. Tr*mp and her party’s role in spreading the false election claims that inspired the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. + On the precipice of the vote to remove her on Wednesday (5-12-2021), she has embraced her downfall rather than fight it, offering herself as a cautionary

tale in what she is portraying as a battle for the soul of the Republican Party. + Emphasizing that framing, Ms. Cheney wore a replica pin of George Washington’s battle flag on Tuesday night as she spoke on the House floor.  “I think Liz understands it’s not worth selling your soul for No. 3 in the minority,” said Barbara Comstock, a former Republican congresswoman from Virginia and a friend of Ms. Cheney’s. “She’s just not going to do that.” + Ms. Cheney’s remorseless last stand — and the chilly reception it received from House Republicans, who cleared from the chamber as she began her remarks — also highlighted how Republican leaders, even in their eagerness to rebuild their party after the riot and Mr. Tr*mp’s stormy departure from the White House, have tethered themselves to his election lies as a matter of survival.
