Republican former Rep. Liz Cheney said she believes a GOP majority in the House in 2025 would present a “threat” to the country.
“I believe very strongly in those principles and ideals that have defined the Republican Party, but the Republican Party of today has made a choice and they haven’t chosen the Constitution. And so I do think it presents a threat if the Republicans are in the majority in January 2025,” Cheney said in an interview that aired on “CBS Sunday Morning.”
Cheney, who represented Wyoming in Congress from 2017 to 2023, said current House Speaker Mike Johnson was “absolutely” a collaborator in the effort to overthrow the 2020 election and he should not be speaker in 2025.
Dick Cheney and Bush 2 were planning the (re)invasion of Iraq from before 9/11. And tax cuts at all costs beside the military, denial of abortion rights, and deregulation of agencies have been on their platform since Reagan.
Also Bush won his while losing the popular vote and refused to concede in Florida where his brother and the Supreme Court gave him an arguably undemocratic presidency.
I never said Bush/Cheney are immune from criticism, just that their words and behaviors weren’t actively anti-American.
Suggesting they were thinking of the “collective interest” of the American people as you stated, was were I took exception.
They were, if you take the view that civil liberties are fundamentally American, or a large part of what it means to be American
