Saying Liz Cheney is respectable because she opposes the Big Lie is like saying...

... a Big Mac is healthy because it has lettuce.

I realized that when I watched the beginning of her Fox News interview on YouTube in search of the part where she says Fox News 'especially' has an 'obligation to make sure people know the election wasn't stolen'.

I'd still like to find the segment where she said that but I really can't handle searching through any more of that interview. It reminds me of the corrupt DEA agents in Leon: The Professional, when they brutally murder Mathilda's entire family but one agent gets upset that they killed a 4-year-old kid. That was thoughtful but certainly not enough to make him a good guy.

She should come out in support of HR1 if she's truly an advocate of democracy, likes she claims. CrispyQ May 2021 #1

Come on, Rep. Cheney, put your money where your mouth is. You can still hold true to other repub values like tax cuts for the rich & deregulation of industry, but if you really champion democracy, then defend HR1. Publicly.

where was her voice when Trump started screaming "rigged election" long before election day?...or when DeJoy was destroying the postal service..or Barr was lying about vote-by-mail...or the over 60 law suits challenging the election results and Trump and his reptilian henchmen threatening state voting officials... and for that matter where the hell was Liz when Trump was separating families at the border, housing babies in cages, the muslim ban, the border wall, ignoring the gravity and the horror of the pandemic, corrupting the CDC, demanding Ukraine "investigate" Joe and Hunter Biden in exchange for military aid...and how about her no vote on impeachment #1?...and no she doesn't get a pass on tax cuts for the uber rich or deregulating big business...she paved the way for the orange cretin...so now she has a moment of clarity?...big fucking deal!!
