Liz Cheney says she regrets voting for Trump in 2020

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Rep. Liz Cheney on Friday said she regretted voting for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election given his efforts to overturn his defeat and sow doubt in the integrity of the process.

"I was never going to support Joe Biden and I do regret the vote," Cheney told ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl. "It was a vote based on policy, based on substance and in terms of the kinds of policies he put forward that were good for the country. But I think it's fair to say that I regret the vote."

Cheney, R-Wyo., also blasted House Republicans for elevating Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York to replace her in party leadership, calling it "dangerous" to promote yet another leader who has promoted former President Trump’s falsehoods about the 2020 election.

"What does it say about the party choosing somebody to replace you, who was effectively chosen by Donald Trump and saying what he's been saying - those very lies you were talking about?" Karl asked Cheney in the interview, which will air in full on "This Week" on Sunday.

1. You knew he was bad for America . .

and still voted for him

[Eugene]

2. Trump warned what he might do back in 2016. You knew exactly who he was,

and you were okay with that.

[boston bean]

3. They still just can't fucking bring themselves to vote against by voting for a dem.

Country be damned.

9. I know them. They are my family. Here's what they think of Dems.

They think we are:
Baby killers that encourage women to get abortions
Socialists and Communists
Tax and spenders (it doesn’t resonate that we want to only raise taxes on top 1%)
They think we are all Atheists and anti religion and anti God.
Anti the white race that wants to give white peoples money to black and brown people.
Overly educated at liberal institutions with no common sense.

That’s just a few.
Suffice it to say that they have been taught from generations that Democrats are pure evil.

[Volaris]

14. '...that democrats are pure evil.' That's mostly cause Rush got to

go on the air every day for 25 years UNCHECKED and UNCHALLENGED.

The fairness doctrine might be dead, but we need a federal Integrity in News law:

'The following program has NOT been fact checked. It exists, per our own argument in court, as ENTERTAINMENT ONLY. AS SUCH, nothing presented in this program should be taken as factual or accurate. Under no circumstances should any of this program be considered informative in any way, and the opinions presented are those of the host, and may actually have no basis in factual reality whatsoever. Additionally, this program exists solely for the profit margin of our shareholders, while accredited news organizations operate as federal non-profit entities, which donate 100% of the revenue they generate from ads to the journalism schools in the state in which they record from...which this program DOES NOT DO.'


if we required by law, Tucker Carlson to read this ON AIR HIMSELF, before and after every commercial break,he would be OFF AIR in less than 6 months.
Newsmax and and OAN would be bankrupt in 3.
That is all.

[Funtatlaguy]

15. I agree. But they will scream freedom of speech, the press, blah blah.

[Volaris]

20. They can scream freedom of speech all they want, it wont help.

If CONGRESS decides that 'news' needs to be fact-checked and non-profit, that isnt a speech issue. They're free to go on air and still tell all the lies they WANT for money, but they dont get to call it NEWS, per federal regulation as defining NEWS as a singular NON PROFIT endeavor.

4. snake bitching about scorpion.

[ecstatic]

5. Disgusting and vile. They knew trump couldn't get us out of this corona mess

(that he himself caused). Anyone who was willing to give trump another round is absolute ignorant and/or racist trash. They were 100% cool with watching Americans (and perhaps even themselves) die off due to gross incompetency/ criminal negligence.

[Scrivener7]

6. She knew what she was doing and she did it anyway. She damn well ought to regret it.

[Dawson Leery]

7. Her gestures against Trump are caveat emptor.

She voted for him after seeing the terrible things he did. Neo-Con and Paleocon alke are both blood drinking, resource stealing, power worshippping animals.

See my sig-line.

[The Blue Flower]

8. Which of his policies did she think were good?

I'd like someone to ask.

[uponit7771]

10. 😲😲😲 So yeah, this conversion was recent

[Gandolf6454]

11. Security threat

Ms Cheney has stated that her current position on Trump evolved from security threat he presented. Since this was obvious to any thinking person following the Putin meeting how can she in any way rationalize a vote for the man in 2020

[Volaris]

18. Because screwing around with a foreign power to fucker an election win is as old as St Ronnie..

(and is fine with the old guard GOP as far as THAT goes). The bridge too far apparently, is executing a domestic insurrection to achieve the same end, after the former strategy didnt work a second time.

Which, on balance, she SHOULD get credit for.

But not much tbh lol.

[Beachnutt]

12. I saw that, she was dry heaving when she said it and also

said no way a Biden vote..

[BootinUp]

13. thats some weak sauce. nt

[Bettie]

16. And yet, she still did

and she supported him until it got in the way of her own ambitions.

[Volaris]

19. Well, there's ALSO that haha...

(On Edit)
I'm fully prepared for her to run for president as an anti-trump republican. LP will fully have her back on this, and then we will get to see half of us here bitch and cry about the edges of the shivs LP has been using on the Trumpers the last 4 years.

They're not my enemies RIGHT NOW, but I'm only comfortable saying that cause I know damn well they're not about to be my friends in another 36 months.

You can yell at me if I'm wrong (I wont be).

[demtenjeep]

17. what policies????

stupid is as stupid does

[BlueNProud]

22. She's not offended by anything he does, just the way he does it.

[FakeNoose]

23. Her one little vote didn't matter a bit

Chump won Wyoming by 120,000+ votes, and he had a 50% margin of victory.
Are you kidding me?
