What’s the Downside of Humoring Him . . . Still?
It’s happening all over again.

......................

The downside—which was intellectually, morally, and politically obvious at the time—was physically manifested less than two months later at the siege of the Capitol

That’s why there is no drama when Cheney’s anticipated replacement, Elise Stefanik, drops by Steve Bannon’s “War Room”—the official podcast of Stop the Steal—to discuss the importance of the cockamamie “audit” of the Arizona vote that is currently assessing whether the state’s ballots were laced with Chinese bamboo.

That’s fine you see, because while speaking the truth about the insurrection is a distraction, continuing the lies that led to it—humoring them, if you will—is being a “team player.”

For humoring him, Stefanik gets a promotion.

For telling the truth, Cheney gets the chop.
