Liz Cheney loses primary bid by more than 30 points

| August 17, 2022

In her concession speech, Liz Cheney declared the intent to start an organization with the aim of preventing Donald Trump from becoming president again. In an interview on NBC’s “Today Show”, Liz Cheney said that the Republican Party should go back to its roots and that the party has focused on Trump and the associated “cult of personality”. The organization’s name is from a phrase in the Gettysburg Address.

From Fox News:

Cheney noted that in the past, she had garnered more than 70% of the votes in her district’s primary, and that “the path to that same victory would have been very easy,” but she felt it was more important to focus on her opposition to Trump. Those efforts, which include her work on the Democrat-led House January 6 Committee, led to Trump backing Hageman in the primary race. With 99% of votes counted early Wednesday morning, Hageman led Cheney by more than 37 points.

“There’s no political office that’s more important than the principles that we take an oath to defend,” Cheney said, seemingly regretting nothing about her decision to focus on Trump instead of local issues.

Moving forward, Cheney said she will resume her work in the House until her term ends, and that she and her organization will continue to go after Trump.

“I think that defeating him is going to require a broad and united front of Republicans, Democrats and independents. And that’s what I intend to be part of,” she said.

Cheney holds Trump directly responsible for the Capitol riot that took place on Jan. 6, 2021, at one point in the interview saying that “Trump attacked the Capitol,” then amending that to say that he “sent a mob to attack the Capitol.” The former president’s defenders point to how Trump said in a speech that day that protesters of the election results should remain peaceful.

I bet the Cheney clans heads are exploding. Trounced very well. Thank you Wyoming

Thoroughly, deeply and righteously rebuked by the people she sought to defile.

She ought to be ashamed to even show her face in Wyoming though I doubt that she ever goes there, anyway.

Yup!

Ditto. Da Beetch be cray cray.

One less chicken hawk neocon to worry about. Forget about her hatred of Trump. That crazy lady was actually in favor of attacking Iran and blockading Russia.

All that hawking for intervention, and JUST HOW many years of Military Service does she have? Yeah, I thought so.

Cindy Sheehan with glasses. Maybe she can get herself installed in some Northern Virginia homeowners’ association or a domestic condo-minimum terrorist board.

She is definitely HOA Board material!

Why do some people feel that they have the right to decide who Americans can vote for? You know, that whole “Let the people decide” thing that we always hear about? If a majority of voting Americans select Donald Trump, why shouldn’t their voices be heard?

CDR D

My immediate thought! These supercilious sons of bitches who holler “our democracy” when their oligarchy is threatened by an outsider can’t allow the riffraff to make any decisions like choosing their leaders.

Deckie

“We the People,” means those who rule the peasants, as people like her and the Dems see us.

Run ‘em all out.

Washington State uses a “top 2” primary and there were at least 4 other GOP running. Newhouse won that easily. CA-21 was a mess but Valado will get reelected.

More power to her. The wider the field the better.

Stunning and brave.

Another Deep State, Sewer Dwelling Swamp Rat, useful idiot thrown upon the dust bins of history in a well deserved trouncing. Can’t really blame her for what she became since, after all, we are products of our environment/upbringing. And her daddy has been an entrenched member of said Swamp Sewer/MIC for his entire life. Think it was Ike that gave us fair warning on those types.

Odd how she increased her personal wealth by 10s of millions in just 6 short years.

Her words, FTA, “…the party has to return to its core principles of small government, strong military, low taxes, and family.” Well Hell’s Bells, seems like that was what Trump was trying to do. Trump was upsetting their “party” and he was in the way of their true target…We, The People.

Maybe Hitlary or Stacy can give you some pointers on accepting defeat gracefully.

Trump’s not a member of The Club.  The Clintons, Bushs, Obamas, Pelosis, Cheneys all are.  They may not like each other or agree on certain things, but they will protect The Club with their dying breaths.  This Club protects them, and makes them richer.

AZRobert

During the Bush funeral, The Club got a letter/note and the reaction was interesting and some didn’t look too happy, hmm?

Exactly, Liz would rather be ruled by Marxist Democrats than let Trump win.

A Proud Infidel®™

She’s part of the group who would gladly let America burn so they can rule over the ashes.

Her father had the ballz to publicly tell Patrick Leahy to go f*ck himself, but she’s just a whiny selfish RINO who hates Trump.

She can always earn big bucks by learning coding.

Heheheheheheheheheh,… buh-BYE!!!!

Another member of the insider club bites the dust, I wonder what level of hissy-fits she’ll have in front of the cameras? My bet is that she’ll try to come back somewhere, she’s part of the inherited privilege club just like Meghan McCain!

tshe

Honestly, her best bet is to be a political pundit, representing the “right” on such panels as “The View.”

Like that pig, Ana Navarro?

Lizzie got the axe!

Instead of giving forty whacks.

When she saw what she had done, she wants to make like 41 (Bush SR.).

Lizzy Cheney got the axe;
she didn’t have the voter’s backs.
Now for Prez now wants to run,
but voters then will surely shun.

P.S.
Fuck Joe Biden,
that inflationary prick.
He never met a tax increase
he didn’t vote for quick.

*correction: “now for Prez she wants to run”

With you, the farce is strong.

Saw this joke on Reddit back during the Trump Administration so I changed the names…

President Liz Cheney is sleeping one night when the ghost of George Washington appears at the foot of her bed. Liz asks him, ‘Georgie, my boy, how can I be a better president?’ George says, ‘First, never tell a lie.’ Liz doesn’t like this answer and yells for security. George disappears and Liz goes back to sleep. She is woken up a short time later by the ghost of Franklin Roosevelt sitting at the foot of her bed. “Frankie, my boy, what can I do to be a better president?’ FDR thinks a moment and says, ‘You have to put the people first.’ Once again Liz doesn’t like this answer, yells for security, and FDR disappears. Liz is once again awakened by the ghost of Abraham Lincoln at the foot of her bed. “Abe, my boy, how can I be a better president?’ Abe thinks for a moment and responds, ‘Go to the theater more.’

Lizzie only lost by 39 percent. She has a wonderful future in Wyoming politics.

USMC Steve

She is (for now anyway) the official congressional Karen.

Old tanker

She forgot her responsibility was to represent the wishes of those who elected her. Now she is paying the price for flipping them the finger as they show her the door. Personal vendettas do not make a proper substitute. Folks have gotten real tired of politicians and other anti trumpers who think that their opinion is the primary duty.
