What is Liz Cheney After?
With politicians, we always have to question the motive behind their actions.
In the fight over the future of the Republican party that’s been taking place arguably ever since Donald Trump decided to campaign for the Presidency, it’s been fairly clear that the former President has won the fight. Unfortunately for Wyoming’s Representative Liz Cheney, the future of her leadership position within the House Republican party appears grim after she decided that she refused to go along with the lie that Trump had the Presidency stolen from him. Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise, the most powerful Republicans in the House, are apparently backing my Congresswoman, Elise Stefanik, to replace her.
Cheney has not been quiet about her disagreements with the former President, and the threats to her position of power have not changed that. When it comes to politicians we always have to question motives, and as Cheney appears to be positioning herself to be a martyr in the struggle over the Republican party one can’t help questioning hers. With the space for Trump sycophants already crowded in the upcoming 2024 GOP Presidential primary, it feels as though Cheney is carving out a niche of her own.
I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s considering running for President.
