It’s going to take a few more decades — probably more than I have left on this Earth — for historians to sort out what the hell happened to former U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney in the 2022 Republican Party primary.<\/p>\n

Cheney was as conservative a member of Congress as one could find. Yet she revealed a so-called open wound when she argued that the 45th POTUS was unfit for the office he once held.<\/p>\n

He punishment was to be voted out of office overwhelmingly in the 2022 GOP primary.<\/p>\n

Cheney voted with POTUS 45 about 93 % of the time. She opposed gun control legislation, she was adamantly pro-life on abortion, she favored low taxes, opposed burgeoning budget deficits, favored deportation of undocumented immigrants.<\/p>\n

Cheney was the embodiment of the MAGA movement.<\/p>\n

Then came No. 45’s behavior on 1\/6. It appalled Cheney.<\/p>\n

The MAGA cultists just couldn’t let her anti-45 view go.<\/p>\n

Do you want a primer on why the upcoming election is so important? You need look no further than Wyoming, where Republican voters ousted a solidly conservative lawmaker who did her constituents’ bidding.<\/p>\n

Except for that one matter involving a lawless president.<\/p>\n\n
