-snip-
The former senator continued, No, this is not the plot of a movie set in an asylum. Ladies and gentlemen, this is your contemporary Republican Party, where today there is no greater offense than honesty.
Cheney closed, When I became an unwitting dissident in my party by speaking in defense of self-evident truths, I assumed that more and more of my colleagues would follow me. I remain astonished that so few did. Congresswoman Cheney, I know how alone you must be feeling. But just know that history keeps the score, not Kevin McCarthy or Elise Stefanik.
Unfortunately for both Flake and Cheney, they are the exceptions to the rule in todays GOP. And most Republicans arent comfortable speaking like this unless theyre retired like Flake. - PoliticusUSA

Newsflash. The QOP, GOP, rePuticans, or however they are labeled or repackaged, they have never been fit to govern!
