Liberals Turn on Liz Cheney After She Celebrates Downfall of Roe v. Wade: It Was Going So Well, LizRep. Liz Cheneys (R-WY) position as vice chair on the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol attack has endeared her to many Democrats.
The honeymoon ended for some of them on Friday after she praised the Supreme Courts decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
I have always been strongly pro-life, the Wyoming Republican tweeted. Todays ruling by the Supreme Court returns power to the states and the people of the states to address the issue of abortion under state law.

(1,962 posts)Liz's sister Mary is openly lesbian.
Liz is more than happy to squash LGBTQ rights, despite her sister being a lesbian.
If she has that kind of contempt for her own fucking sister.. How do you think she feels about the rest of us?
Oh, hey.. She's protected the country from Drumpf's insurrection... Nice. And where is she over other people's human rights?
Yeah... Fuck you, sis!
If she can't protect her sister... How can we expect better?
Thank for 1/6, Liz.... Now fuck off and die.

I wonder what she thought of the made-up war, courtesy of her dad, that took hundreds of thousands of lives

(2,650 posts)Kudos to her for her stance on the 1/6 Committee, but never forget she is a republican through and through. After the 1/6 deal is over and done with, she will revert to her republican standards which are abhorrent to most Americans.

(153,169 posts)she just wants old school repukes to take power back from the tea-bagging MAGAts, but they ALL suck
lapfog_1
(29,205 posts)she has always been ultra conservative.
Only in the case of Donald Trump and the corruption he brought to the GOP (one might point out that the GOP was corrupt long before Trump, but apparently that was corruption she could live with) did she stand up for the constitution and the rule of law.

(27,815 posts)... and that her views on most things are completely different than our own.
And I really don't care.
As long as she's doing her job on the J-6 committee, she can hold any opinions on other matters as she sees fit.
She put her political career on the line in order to do the right thing - and I respect and admire her for doing so.
Whatever opinions she holds outside of that role are of no consequence to the matter-at-hand - investigating what led-up to the insurrection, and identifying those responsible.

(21,362 posts)she is the loudest voice going after Donald Trump.
Pretty much all of Wyoming is anti-abortion. Heck, my Senator from Pa. Bob Casey, is "pro-life."

(15,540 posts)I also see it as a chance to "use" her for our own sakes and after that never hear from her again.
I'm not above playing the same game the Republicans do. Think Susan Collins here. She acts like she is just a naive little lady who had no idea someone wanting on the SC would actually lie to the nation. She knew exactly what she was doing, but played along. She also votes with us only when it's safe for her to do so.
Having said that, I reiterate - I say we praise Cheney for how she is helping to expose the GOP for what they are, but don't turn your back on her.

(4,851 posts)Liz is a Republican. More so than TFG and she is running for re-election, so of course she was going to speak out on this issue.

(46,130 posts)This past week, Cheney suggested that Democrats in WY could change their parties to vote for her.
Not anymore . . . .

(89,252 posts)and a Republican that doesn't support that then it's not that difficult for me which one to support .
No pro choice Democrat or even a pro choice Republican is going to win there.

(89,252 posts)I'm glad she is on the right side when it comes to Trump and she is doing a good job there but I never thought she was a liberal and her views suddenly changed on all issues .
She also criticized Biden for getting out of Afghanistan .

(4,426 posts)Her beliefs are sincerely held and she is honest about them. She is a rarity among modern conservative right wingers.
But she is a conservative and a right winger. I would never vote for her in a million years.
Lettuce Be
(2,336 posts)She is simply one of two republicans on the Jan 6 Select Committee. There is zero reason to think she's suddenly turned to the left.
