Liz Cheney rips Vance after Jan. 6 remarks: Not 'fit to serve'

You tell him, Liz….

*****

Former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) went after Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) on Monday, saying he is not “fit to serve” after he said he would have chosen not to certify the 2020 election results without pro-Trump electors.

Vance said Sunday in an ABC “This Week” interview he would have allowed states to send multiple slates of electors to Washington after the 2020 election and “Congress should have fought over it from there,” adding there “were problems” in the 2020 election.

“Yesterday, J.D. Vance claimed that Trump could defy rulings of the Supreme Court as President,” Cheney wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Vance also admitted he would have done what VP Pence refused to do on January 6th — help Trump illegally seize power.”

“That’s tyranny,” she continued. “Neither Trump nor Vance is fit to serve.”

Then-Vice President Mike Pence refused to allow multiple slates of electors for the certification of the 2020 election, as the Constitution lays out, and did ultimately certify the results after thousands of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in an attempt to stop it.

Vance also doubled down on September 2021 comments that the president can ignore “illegitimate” Supreme Court rulings, quoting President Andrew Jackson.

His real name is bowman. If he couldn't be honest and upright about something as basic as his name, how can he be honest and upright about anything else?

But idiots in ohio voted for this fat-faced fake p.o.s.

I voted for Mr. Ryan and I feel cheated out of honorable representation I expected

He is indeed a fat-faced P.O.S. His head is so far up trumps ass I don’t know how he breathes.

I have met Tim Ryan personally (he was my rep) and he is a fine man. It just kills me the idiots here chose the asshole Vance.

…when Republicans carried a pamphlet size copies of Constitution in their pockets to prove to everyone how concerned they were about it. That was just for show, because now they admit they don’t really believe in it.
