Outgoing Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, who voted to impeach 45th President Donald Trump and has made opposition to Trump her major political issue, now says that she will spend the rest of this campaign cycle working on behalf of Democrats who are opposing pro-Trump candidates.
Speaking to ABC News, Cheney framed her actions as working against “election deniers” – those who doubt or question Joe Biden’s 81 million vote victory in 2020 – and that means working for Democrats.
โIโm going to be very focused on working to ensure that we do everything we can not to elect election deniers,โ Cheney told ABC’s “This Week” earlier this weekend.
Again framing Trump supporting candidates as “election deniers,” Cheney declared “Weโve got election deniers that have been nominated for really important positions all across the country” and she’s “going to work against those people. Iโm going to work to support their opponents.โ
After her primary defeat, GOP Rep. Liz Cheney tells @jonkarl that she will focus on working to keep election deniers out of office.

Cheney also promised to use her remaining time in office to “educate” people about what happened on January 6, something she’s intimately familiar with from her work on the partisan, anti-Trump January 6 committee.
โIโm also going to spend a lot of time doing everything I can to help educate the American people about what happened,โ she told the network, according to National Review.
She then boasted about her work on the January 6 Committee, saying “I think our hearings have been a tremendous contribution” to the cause.
Still, while Cheney appeared to heavily hint at a run for president in 2024 while comparing herself to President Abraham Lincoln in her concession speech, Cheney refused to confirm she would totally abandon her Wyoming voters for greener pastures at the federal level.
โYou run for president because you believe you would be the best, the best candidate because you believe youโd be the best president United States,” Cheney said. โIโm not going to go down that path anymore in terms of speculating โ today.”
Cheney conducted the interview from the January 6 committee room, further aligning herself with anti-Trump establishment figures.
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney – one of the most universally unpopular politicians who is still living – suffered a landslide defeat against Trump-endorsed Republican Harriet Hageman earlier this month.
In remarks made in her own victory speech, Hageman credited Cheney’s obsession with Trump for her landslide victory over the establishment Republican.
โSheโs not focusing on Wyoming, sheโs not focusing on our issues,โ Hageman told Fox News. โSheโs still focusing on an obsession about President Trump, and the citizens of Wyoming, the voters of Wyoming, sent a very loud message tonight. We have spoken. And that is not what we are interested in, in terms of our lone congressional representative.โ

โWyoming is entitled to have a representative that represents our interests, that listens to us, that addresses our issues,” Hageman explained.
“That isnโt Liz Cheney, and the fact that thatโs where she went back to with her speech tonight I think that demonstrates that she really isnโt listening to Wyoming now, she hasnโt for quite some time, and thatโs why we needed to replace her.โ

Cheney is just helping her food source by helping Democraps. She is a RECTUM SUCKING PUPPET of Democraps and is she failed to help them she would lose her feeding spot. Cheney is the House Leader of the FAKE Republicans so she has NEVER been a Conservative.

If Wyoming voters are smart they will make sure that Liz stays far away of any elections. She is evil, and you don’t want to associate with this kind of mental midget! I wanted to comment on FB but they will not let me because this is not part of the narrative they like. If I said she was a nice person, they would let me comment. But I cannot tell a lie, she is nasty, full of hatred and she needs to stay home…..

Mr. Pappert!!โฆ if I owned this site, and I discovered that some โcommenterโ was taking down another commenterโs free speech, then Iโd remove such an individual from my threads and blacklist/ block the IP address of the offending PERPETRATOR! In addition, I would then contact the Cyber Unit of my Local Police Division and inform a Representative therein, that a visitor has been banned from my siteโฆ and then convey to the Representative, the IP Address of the PERP who has Jan6ed/ AlexJonesed a strangerโs free speechโฆ and pointing out to the Representative, that inasmuch as free speech is a SUPREME PROVISION within the U.S. Constitution and within the UDHR (and thus, making it much more significant than the U.S. Criminal Code!), it is essential that a repeat offense be treated by police in accordance with itโsฬฒ severity!

Since lizzie is going to be campaigning for democRATS, she should be completely kicked out of the Republican party, and change her party affiliation from NO GOOD RINO to devout democRAT!!

She has already been “campaigning” for the Dems, by her actions on the January 6th show trial.
Now, she is just saying it out loud. Why would anyone be surprised? Her statements just confirmed to the Republicans who voted against her that they did the RIGHT thing.

When politicians get elected and move to DC, the special interests flood their offices to collect on the campaign money given. Liz went to DC and collected the money from Daddy’s MIC (military industrial complex)interests. She ignored the interests of voters in her district.

So obvious Liz is a turncoat. She thinks she’s like Lincoln, but she’s Benedict Arnold. Helping the other side explain’s it all- TOTAL TRAITOR. I’ve gone from dislike to detest. May she stew in her own putrid juices.

Liz Cheney is now a hugely polarizing figure in American politics. She will create a reverse effect for any Democrat she supports. Look for any Democrat she campaigns for to lose the election. Go Liz!

Lizzie “Lincoln” is an IDIOT. I do NOT deny the “election;” I do, however, KNOW that there were multiple irregularities and that ALL of them were in Senile Joe’s favor! I also KNOW that a mentally-incompetent person who has FUBARed everything his entire life DID NOT receive 81 million LEGAL votes!

So Liz is the new Honest Abe? Oh please. She’s more like Robespierre who guillotined his political opponents in the Reign Of Terror during the French Revolution. He confiscated their property and executed them on the basis of very flimsy evidence, if any. Finally, he was guillotined himself. What goes around comes around, Liz.

Hilarious! Thanks, Lizzy, for helping Republicans by campaigning for Democrats.
Keep in mind Benedict Arnold thought HE was righteous, too.

Little Lizzy is obsessed with keeping โelection deniersโ out of the White House because it will reveal how her mint patty daddy got into office. The latest data shows election fraud through the machines has been in use by establishment Republicans (RINOs) for decadesโฆand that is how George W Bushwhacker and Tricky Dickie got in office.
Iโm a conservative, but I havenโt given a dime to the RNC for years because they were clearly corrupt. The Democrats arenโt any less corruptโฆthey caught on slower, but have since nearly perfected the art of stealing elections. Unfortunately for the Washington UniParty, the evidence of election fraud is mounting exponentially. That means the people who will actually be exposed as liars will not be the election deniers but the election fraud coverups. Wonโt Little Lizzy sing the blues when that happens! ๐คฃ๐ ๐คญ๐
