Liz Cheney on Fox News in response to Baier's question about if the J6 committee is investigating Pelosi and the Capitol Police: "What we aren't gonna do, Bret, is blame the Capitol Police, blame those in law enforcement, for Donald Trump's armed mob that he sent to the Capitol"

1. Wow that's a great video from fox "news" in the tweet

[Delphinus]

2. Indeed.

Glad she kept on talking.

[czarjak]

3. Really, Bret?

[ripcord]

4. The way I see it

21. +1000 Love this!

5. "The "notion" that 'he' issued an order........

is not consistent with the FACTS!"

SMACK - BOOM - BAM - KICK!!!!!!!!!!!

Suck THAT, FAUX SPEWS!

6. Great post. Thanks

I’ve been waiting to hear more about security preparations, and the errors. I’m betting none of those who claim TFG offered support had first hand information and testified to the J6 committee.

[Johnny2X2X]

7. The notion the Speakee has any authority in Capitol security

They’re rescuing. The Speaker’s role is little more than symbolic for security at the Capitol. They’re really reaching.

[wnylib]

11. Imagine a bank robber on trial and

his defense is, "They had poor security, so I am innocent."

[oldsoftie]

41. First they say it was "peaceful" then look for someone to blame for NOT getting the NG sent!

So why would you need the National Guard for a "peaceful" protest, you idiots?

8. She is outstanding at deflecting attempts to sidetrack, and returning to the real point.

Buttigeig is also very good at it.

A lot to learn from their skills. She is really a very good debater.

[underpants]

9. Bauer tried to cut her off. He constantly was looking down too

I’d take that as not looking like he’s not listening to her OR he’s waiting for something from writers on a laptop he surely has under the table.

[Haggard Celine]

12. He does that all the time.

My parents watch his show every evening and I've noticed that he looks down and then starts saying mm hmm, mm hmm after he asks a question. He basically is telling his guest to hurry up and spit it out so he can ask his next question. He especially does it when the guest is saying something that's contrary to Fox's orthodoxy. Rude bastard!

[underpants]

14. I always thought he was an odd choice to be their anchor

Not only does he not look the part, he just isn’t very professional about it.

[Haggard Celine]

17. They have a lot of people like that.

I guess serious journalists or broadcasters don't want to work at Fox, or maybe they're passed over. They have the most third-rate people I've ever seen. I guess they choose people who are working for local tv stations in rural areas. Shepard Smith was the only one who was worth a damn, and they ran him off. That's another thing, too, they hire people who would have a hard time getting a decent job somewhere else. Gives them leverage and keeps their 'stars' from quitting.

[underpants]

19. The only "talent" they develop wears heels

Tucker and Laura are actually third team themselves.
Think about signing up to work there, the Douchey kid leaps over everyone to be WH Reporter and they have an all purpose guy Lawrence Jones (you know what I mean). Douchey was hired while still in college. There’s nowhere to go....unless there’s more sexual harassment charges or you get the blonde spot on the couch in the morning.

[BootinUp]

25. I think it was the 'Donald Trump's armed mob' part he didn't want to hear. nt

[oldsoftie]

42. A lot do that when its a remote interview. Its really not unusual.

They don't know when the camera is on them & they're looking at their notes while the person interviewed is supposedly on camera. Remember, they don't ask questions for THEM its for the viewers.
Many years ago I worked for a short time at a local station & you'd be surprised what's going on when the camera is thought to be on someone out of the studio.

[packman]

10. I'm confused??

Weren't we on DU bashing her yesterday for being two-faced and a hypocrite?

[vanlassie]

18. Isn't life just so complex?

[underpants]

20. Saw that. I took that as "Don't forget her true stripes" type thing

She is still the spawn of Dick Cheney.
She’s representing the old guard who knew how much of a disaster Trump was going to be. They want to put him away both to retain power but also to just get rid of him.

[ProfessorGAC]

28. That Was A Silly Article

It was talking about not "falling for the con" without ever mentioning exactly who was being conned.
The thread had some of what you mention, but there was plenty of pushback about the vacuous nature of the piece linked.
I know I can respect her standing on principle while being aware she's not a worthy ally in nearly all other regards.
I'm still perplexed as to who is falling for the "con" mentioned.

[emulatorloo]

31. That article was "LOOK A Squirrel!!!" - a poor attempt distracting from the J6 committee excellent

work.

[emulatorloo]

30. Article was by a self-satisfied asshole trying to undercut the J6 committee and their findings

Every DU’er knows Cheney is a Republican, to me it is rather boring to be reminded of that every day.

She’s doing her job on J6 committee very well.

[oldsoftie]

43. Very well put. And correct.

[madashelltoo]

13. Poor thing,

He tried. He just wasn’t ready for a woman who ain’t in the mood for bullshit.

[thenelm1]

15. Baier is the same genius who recently asked Pete Buttigieg why...

Elon Musk had not been invited to a White House meeting on tailpipe emissions.

To which Mr. Buttigieg had to explain to this fool that Tesla makes electric cars and there are no tailpipes.

[reACTIONary]

32. +10! That was a great response. Nt

[Walleye]

16. This whole who ordered the National Guard or didn't argument is bogus

We all know that Trump could’ve written a two sentence tweet at any time during the riot and stopped it. we didn’t need extra security. We needed a president who is true to the constitution in American ideals. His word to the rioters would’ve worked much better than calling out the National Guard

[Joinfortmill]

22. OMG. She excoriated him.

[gratuitous]

23. Brett, get this: Donald Trump lies like you breathe

Which is to say constantly. Trump would like people to believe that he offered additional security before he unleashed his riot on Capitol, but it's not true. The people who say Trump set an armed, violent mob on the Capitol have testified to that under oath. The people who say Trump is blameless have refused to testify under oath. Even a stone-brain like you, Brett, should be able to figure out why that is.

[BootinUp]

24. let her finish Bret.

[Baitball Blogger]

26. You have to see the whole thing. Knocks the legs off of any disinformation that Trump had

the National Guard on stand-by or anybody else.

[catbyte]

27. Pelosi?!? I've heard this ridiculous talking point before. The Speaker has nothing to do with

building security. So I suppose she had more authority over the Senate Majority Leader, who at the time was McConnell? I know it's all a load of crap and they look for any reason to blame Pelosi for something, but for some reason that one really grinds my gears.

[Scrivener7]

37. Come on catbyte! Everyone knows she was supposed to use Hunter Biden's

laptop to get to Hillary's email account through which she was supposed to summon help from Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi.

E-I-E-I-O.

[intheflow]

40. Yes, Cheney is quick to defend the CP but is happy to throw Pelosi under the bus.

The entirety of the J6 hearings are her greatest moment. Everything else she does is slated to kill the planet and make life unbearable for the left in this country.

44. I Could Almost See the Beads of Sweat Forming On Bret's Face,

Even though the graphic resolution of the video wasn't that good. Lordy, lordy - Fox News sure has a lot to walk back regarding Donald Trump. If Michael Jackson were still alive today, he would be booked solid giving moonwalking classes to Fox News reporters! God bless you, Liz Cheney, for standing up for truth against Trump and his Big Lie. Viva la democracia!
