Like a turd in the bowl, Liz Cheney’s inner Democrat recently came bobbing to the surface. Most of us have long known that Cheney was only a Republican on the outside, possessing nothing more than a toxic Democrat puss-filled center. And she once again demonstrated how that remains to be the case when, this past Thursday she announced that she would be endorsing Michigan Rep. Elissa Slotkin, a Democrat, who is running in one of the most competitive House districts in the country. And in so doing Cheney was only doing what comes natural. She has long had a reputation for thinking herself smarter than the folks back home, the ones who voted for her.
And it was in a statement released to the Associated
Press that Cheney said, “I have come to know Elissa as a good and honorable
public servant.” She said, “While Elissa and I have our policy disagreements,
at a time when our nation is facing threats at home and abroad, we need
serious, responsible, substantive members like Elissa in Congress.” Cheney, as
many will cheerfully recall, lost her primary to Harriet Hageman back in
August, said in early October she would vote for Democrats Katie Hobbs and
Adrian Fontes in Arizona’s gubernatorial and secretary of state races if she
was eligible to do so. She did not, however, formally endorse either candidate.
Cheney had previously praised Slotkin to the New
York Times, saying, “I would much rather serve with Mikie Sherrill and Chrissy
Houlahan and Elissa Slotkin than Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert,
even though on substance certainly I have big disagreements with the Democratic
women I just mentioned.” In a notable contrast with Slotkin, who has refused to
outline any restrictions on abortion that she would accept, Cheney has
described herself as “strongly pro-life.” And while I’m no political genius
here, I can’t help but wonder if an endorsement from someone who lost their
primary contest by 30 points can be seen as being worth all that much.
Slotkin, a two-term representative, has continued to
face questions throughout her campaign regarding her place of residence. The
congresswoman moved into the home of a lobbyist in May so she could live in
Michigan’s Seventh District, where she is running for ‘reelection.’ Slotkin,
who is in a new district, is residing in the home of one of her supporters
rather than living on the family farm in her old district. And this same lobbyist,
Jerry Hollister, has donated $2,900 to Slotkin’s campaigns since 2018, and it
was in returning the favor that Slotkin promoted a program to the Department of
Energy through which his company received $28 million.
But it’s none of that really seems to matter to
Cheney, because she has long been working the same sort of scam from her seat,
former seat, in the U.S. House. And add that the fact that Slotkin has voted in
lock-step to advance Joey’s America Last agenda, which also seems just fine
with Liz. Cheney clearly has an objective here, and it’s plain to see that it
has nothing whatsoever to do with what’s best for the country that she
professes to hold so much love for, or for the American people. She is, and always
has been, nothing more than a fraud of the very highest order. I have no doubt
that in a few weeks we’ll be seeing a lot of her either on CNN or MSDNC.
Slotkin’s challenger, Tom Barrett, is one of those
dangerous supporters of President Trump. Barrett was among a group of Michigan
Republican state lawmakers who met with President Trump in Washington after the
2020 election and later signed a letter asking the joint session of Congress to
delay certifying the results. And as we all know, Cheney has recently spoken
out against Republican candidates who subscribe to President Trump’s claim that
he was denied a second term as the result of widespread voter fraud. She’s
another RINO who, when the ‘wrong’ candidate wins seems to have no problem with
turning a blind eye to obvious voter fraud.
You may also recall that it was Cheney who accused
Arizona Republican nominee for governor, Kari Lake, of posing “a huge risk for
democracy” in light of the candidate’s statement that she would refuse to
certify election results she opposes. Cheney has become literally consumed by
her hatred of Donald Trump. And frankly I’m surprised that we
haven’t heard how it that she will be supporting the Democrat now vying for her
soon to be old seat. Or maybe that has already been reported and I just missed
it. What a disappointment this woman has been, and continues to be. And to
think that I actually once thought she was someone who could be trusted. Well I
feel sheepish!
Cheney has apparently decided to burn all the
bridges she can as she makes her way to the exit. But it matters not, it’s
unlikely that, in the big scheme of things, these endorsements will matter all
that much, if at all. Cheney exudes arrogance over substance, self-righteousness
over accomplishments and stubbornness over reality. Even Democrat voters aren’t
stupid enough not to realize why it is that she’s choosing to endorse a
Democrat. So, therefore, is such an endorsement actually worth anything to the
person being endorsed. So what we very likely have here, is a loser that lost
endorsing another loser who will also very likely lose. Politics, you gotta
love it!
Clearly Cheney possesses an
over-inflated sense of importance if she genuinely thinks that there is anyone who
will choose to act on her endorsement of any candidate, regardless of political
party. Cheney long ago shot herself in the foot to the point where she no longer
has any credibility with voters on either side of political aisle yet. And yet,
she continues to act as if she does. Cheney is very obviously suffering from some
pretty delusions of grandeur. Cheney continues to suffer the consequences of
her own actions, of having allowed herself to be blinded by her hatred of Donald
Trump. And yet she persists with this insanity, making noise and accomplishing
nothing.
