THE LINCOLN PROJECT STATEMENT ON LIZ CHENEY’S PRIMARY LOSS

August 16, 2022 — The Lincoln Project releases the following statement on the primary loss of Liz Cheney:

“Tonight, the nation marks the end of the Republican Party. What remains shares the name and branding of the traditional GOP, but is in fact an authoritarian nationalist cult dedicated only to Donald Trump.

“Liz Cheney stood up to the lawless, reckless attack on our nation led by Donald Trump and millions of Americans saw leadership that transcended ideological boundaries. For standing up to Donald Trump and working to hold accountable those responsible for his violent insurrection, Liz Cheney risked and lost her political career as a Republican.

“The Wyoming GOP, supported by millions of corporate dollars from Kevin McCarthy, nominated a reality-denying conspiracy theorist who promotes the “Big Lie” and bends a knee to Donald Trump.

“Liz Cheney showed America what a dedicated public servant driven by principle is like; it’s no wonder today’s GOP hates her. She remains an essential leader of the pro-democracy forces in the United States today and we encourage her to continue to engage in the fight to save our Republic and protect our democracy.

“The way she fought this race has only increased her stature among people setting aside their partisan differences to fight for democracy. We thank her for her service, and look forward to seeing her next chapter. America needs her and more people like her.”

The Lincoln Project is a leading pro-democracy organization in the United States — dedicated to the preservation, protection, and defense of democracy.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, Donald Trump’s fiercest Republican adversary in Congress, soundly lost a GOP primary on Tuesday, falling to a rival backed by the former president in a rout that reinforced his grip on the party’s base. http://bit.ly/3pqoh4x

I am a progressive Democrat, but I stand shoulder to shoulder with my Conservative Sisters and Brothers who share my love for The Constitution of The United States of America.

We may and do differ as to the means, but we all Love Our Country, and we all are working to Help Make a More Perfect Union.

I stand up with The Lincoln Project 100%.

1. Can't elect a Cheney, the GOP is DEAD. It's now the party of Trump. Rot in hell, you M*F*ckers.

2. Yes it is and I too hope the current 'Grifting Our People' party dies a violent and painful death.

TFG is the worse thing to ever happen to Our Country.

And the current 1% owned Party of Death is an obscenity.

Yes, Party of Death:
Uncontrolled Gun Violence
Murdering innocent women via controlling thier uterus'
Death by Police for minority citizens
Death by malnutrition and poverty for millions of minority citizens
Death from a filthy environment for all forms of life
Death from an out of control Climate for all forms of life

To name just a few of it's murderous policies.

3. The Republican Party didn't die, it just got worse.

Horrible does not equal dead

It's just being rebranded...

Now if they would fold up shop, then I would celebrate, but it's a stronger than dirt.
It's alive as hell!! And it's hell!!

4. I disagree. The old GOP, though evil in many ways, was a still sane representative party

The current version is an authoritarian abomination.

The Republican Party died. Today it is 100% The Party of TFG.

Another death to attribute to TFG - anything he touches dies in the end.
