I noted her as a profile in courage at the time. I deeply disagree with virtually every policy position that she holds, but I do appreciate her integrity regarding the integrity of elections. Too bad more of her brethren don't feel the same. I am really concerned that her party will succeed in installing themselves as our rulers, despite their unpopular policy positions. We really are at risk that Republicans will refuse to acknowledge the outcomes of elections and that it will make a difference. Fight like hell for 2022 and 2024. Follow https://www.democracydocket.com/ to track efforts underway now around the country to suppress votes and steal elections. This is an existential threat.

I never thought I would see the day when nearly every republican in Congress would turn against their country-not that Iโ€™m a republican-but that means approximately fifty percent of our elected representatives and senators are deliberately lying to their constituents. And their lies arenโ€™t inconsequential! They are lies that subvert the very heart of our democracy.

All politicians prevaricate from time to time, usually about relatively inconsequential things, but what weโ€™ve been experiencing from republicans during President Obamaโ€™s administration and since the former guyโ€™s administration are enormous, extremely consequential, very unethical, extremely subversive lies and quite frankly, these lies to constituents and the American people began to ramp up when Liz Cheneyโ€™s father was Vice President.

Nevertheless, Senator Cheney deserves enormous credit for refusing to back down from the truth. In fact when this extremely dark episode of American history is over, Liz Cheney will, and should be, given a lot of credit for saving America.
