Liz Cheney Tells Fox News Turkey Invaded Syria Because Democrats Launched Impeachment Inquiry

GOP Rep. Liz Cheney Tells Fox News Turkey Invaded Syria Because Democrats Launched Impeachment Inquiry Against Trump

Republican Congresswoman Liz Cheney claimed in an interview with Fox News on Monday morning that Democrats are to blame for Turkey's invasion of Syria because they launched an impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, despite the fact that the president withdrew U.S. forces from the Middle Eastern nation to give the Turkish forces the greenlight to enter.

"I also want to say that the impeachment proceedings that are going on and what the Democrats are doing themselves to try to weaken this president is part of this," Cheney, who represents Wyoming and is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, argued.

"It was not an accident that the Turks chose this moment to roll across the border," she claimed. "And I think the Democrats have got to pay very careful attention to the damage that they're doing with the impeachment proceedings."

I know it’s called gaslighting, but the mental processes going on behind it mystify next. It’s beyond infuriating. Way way beyond.

And there she is, apologizing for the orange Benedict Arnold.

The Turks moved into Syria because our lame brain, egomaniac traitor for a president was told by Putin to pull our troops out, desert the Kurds who were our allies, and told Erdoğan to go ahead we won't stop you. How f'd up is Liz Cheney?

Our media has let the right wing get away with lies for decades now, "tax cuts bring down deficits", "WMDs in Iraq", "government spending is evil", etc., etc., etc.

Now, the lies are getting more and more absurd to the point where objective reality is lost. This is bad for our democracy.

that the Turks chose this moment to roll across the border, illegitimate told them to do it. These rwnj's will say and do anything to hold on to power, but just as bad is that there are so many morons that eat up all this craps.
