Quote:I suspect that Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) is not long for her position. She’s about to get tossed out on her ear come November because the folks in Wyoming have some sense.

But before she goes, she continues to implode on her way out, going all-in with the Democrats.

On Thursday, Cheney appeared on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” where she spent time bashing Republicans. But Baier asked her a great question. Her response showed how duplicitous she is.

Baier asked her about her title or role on the Jan. 6 Committee, “You’re the co-chair of the January 6 committee, Speaker Pelosi put you in that position. Who’s the ranking member of the committee?”

“I’m not the co-chair. Chairman [Bennie] Thompson is the chairman,” Cheney said, which is correct. She then said that she was the vice-chair and claimed to be the “ranking” member. “And I am the ranking Republican member by nature of when I was appointed.” Cheney then out and out lied, saying that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy refused to name people to the Committee.

There are multiple problems with her claims. She was not appointed to the Committee by Republicans; she was appointed by Pelosi, as was the only other ‘Republican’ on the Committee, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (RINO-IL). There are no Republican-appointed members on the Committee, so it is hardly bipartisan, which is another reason why the “Committee” is a joke.

When the Committee started, Pelosi refused to accept two of the members that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy appointed, Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) — who would be the ranking member — and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH). McCarthy then pulled his remaining members. It was Pelosi who blocked it from being bipartisan when she wouldn’t allow the minority leader to appoint people he wanted to the Committee.

Banks, who has said he was the ranking member by McCarthy’s appointment, told Townhall that the Committee is illegitimate because it isn’t acting by the House rules.

“Liz Cheney told another Big Lie because she didn’t want to admit an obvious truth: she works for Pelosi. Liz Cheney is the Vice Chair and the Committee’s charter explicitly requires a ranking member, but they don’t have one. The Committee is illegitimate and violating House Rules,” said Banks.

Banks has previously said that “something like this has never happened before” and that “it’s a break in precedent,” that the minority party was not able to appoint members they want to a Committee. He has said bluntly it’s because Democrats want to control the narrative against Republicans. Cheney gave the game away last weekend when she revealed the “single most important thing” was to stop President Donald Trump from becoming president again.

But despite every effort to spin Jan. 6, Americans, in new polling, delivered a message to the Democrats that they weren’t buying what Democrats were trying to sell against Republicans and destroyed their dreams, as we noted earlier this week.

Nasty woman

Did he not challenge her on that?

Just one of many reasons the Wyoming GOP no longer recognizes Liz Cheney as a member of the Republican Party. Just think how far astray one must go before a state party literally ceases to recognize a sitting US congressman as a member of its organization. So, the idea of bi-partisanship on the Jan 6th Committee is even more far fetched once one understands Liz Cheney's standing in the GOP. She has basically left the Party. Her political career is over.

This much I think we agree is likely to happen!
Not looking for an argument here, just wondering if you also think she must be kicking herself every day for not running for that open Senate seat now held by Cynthia Lummis in 2020 instead of staying in the House? Until Liz ran afoul of Trump she had no problem getting elected, winning her 2020 primary with 73% of the vote and the general election with 69%. If she had switched in 2020 and been elected to the Senate, she'd be set until 2026 and wouldn't even need to be thinking about reelection right now.

Because what she ran a foul of was TDS. A condition brought on by mass formation psychosis. She can’t reason any longer. She only sees what she wants to see and has been told to see.

The republicans, taking a hint from Granny Nanny should no longer allow the democrats to appoint committee members. Once the house is won back just say no thank you democrats. We will pick whom WE want on OUR committees.
