What Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger have done cannot be overstated. [View all]

Last edited Sun Jun 12, 2022, 01:16 PM - Edit history (1)

Forget politics, their political beliefs. History is going to remember them as courageous patriots. The Republicans goal was to have no Republicans serve on the committee. That would have made it very easy for them to attack an all Democrat committee. A political witch hunt. At first they wanted people like Jordan on the committee. Pelosi shot that down. After that they wanted no Republicans on the committee.

They put their careers on the line, have received death threats and had the courage to do what was right. They gave the committee legitimacy. Future generations of Americans are going to read about, hear about, Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
