Rep. Liz Cheney is criticizing Republicans who have hit the campaign trail for GOP election deniers, calling it “indefensible” to boost candidates who have promoted Donald Trump’s baseless allegations that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

to hold a rally with GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, a prominent election denier.

Several other Republicans who previously tried to distance themselves from Trump’s “big lie” — including former vice president Mike Pence and former U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley — have also“I think they are really indefensible decisions,” Cheney said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. “I think that Glenn Youngkin has done a good job as governor of Virginia, but nobody should be out advocating for the election of people who will not honor the sanctity of our elections process.

Lake and the GOP candidate for Arizona secretary of state, Mark Finchem, have repeatedly falsely claimed that Trump was the winner of the 2020 election. On ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday, Lake declined to say whether she would take steps to limit early voting and mail-in voting in Arizona if elected, and continued to push falsehoods about the 2020 election.

Republicans promoting such election deniers were putting short-term party gain over their obligation to defend the Constitution, Cheney said.“They [Lake and Finchem] have both said, ‘We’ve looked at all of the facts, we’ve looked at the results of the election in 2020, we’ve looked at the law, we’ve looked at the fact that the courts all ruled against Donald Trump, we’ve looked at the audits and the recounts.

Cheney’s latest warnings are perhaps one of her last efforts, while still in office, to try to prevent Trump and his supporters from subsuming the Republican Party. For more than a year, Cheney has served as the vice chair of the House select committee investigating the

C_C_Krebs Loser Liz lost by over 40 points. She can go back to war mongering with her war criminal dad while she is standing in the funemployment line. Bye loser Liz. Go be bitter somewhere else. See a shrink while you’re at it.

Trump was cheated but the new Congress will seek revenge😈😈😈

This is what it looks like when you become bitterly scorned and make hating someone else your mission in life. And although she puts on her cape and mask before the country she is not saving democracy as she likes to think. Burning down a termite infested tree isn’t saving a tree

She's irrelevant

Raise your hand if anyone cares what Liz Cheney has to say.

Newsflash, the only people who care about Liz Chevy are people on the left trying to grift or score political points. That’s it. Nobody else, certainly nobody outside of the beltway, could give 2 farts about her or her thoughts on anything

I respect Liz Cheney a rare honest politician. Not the usual phenomenon these days.

Cheney and WaPo know how the FBI and big tech intentionally interfered in the 2020 election.

We know it was stolen, reason she got voted out and reason republicans are about to sweep the midterms, leading to a trump victory in 2024

An exercise in futility. The more she tried to control the less control she has.

What about Democrats who supported their campaigns?

She is a political nothing. Just like your paper. Trash!

Is your name in the list as a denierLizCheney?

Liz lost so badly in election &now she will do anything to hurt Republicans. She’s like a wounded animal very dangerous. She will do anything to hurt our country to get her revenge. She will go down in history as a traitor to her own Republican Party.

They must all be voted out

gtconway3d She’s turned into the GOP Hillary.

Cheney happily served on the J6's Joe McCarthy like hearings committee with several Democrats who had denied previously denied and fought to overturn presidential election results. Trump derangement has deconstructed her moral compass like it has so many others.

Yet her daddy stole the 2000 and 2004 elections.

I wish we had her bullshit-detecting powers in Britain

Cries of a desperate person as they literally are about to be fired in a few months.

Run, Liz.

Clearly people in Wyoming think Liz is wrong. She should exit her stage gracefully, she is making things worse.

Trump won and you all know it. biden still can't attract more than 10-20 people to come and see him. No Democrat can even fill a small high school gymnasium, including katie hobbs, aoc, fetterman, tim ryan et al.

That's funny. Who is Ray Epps?

The GOP promoting Trump's lies will continue to destroy Democracy and screw over the very people who voted for them. Since none of the GOP lawmakers involved with Jan6 coup were charged & removed from Congress, they know they got away with their actions. More attacks to come...

won't help

She doesn’t like Gov. Youngkin. She doesn’t like Gov. DeSantis. She is sanctimonious.

Ling is just like the WAPO-fake

Liz who?

Oh shut up, Liz.

Nancy Pelosi. “they are trespassing”.

RepLizCheney to understand your peers in the GOP listen to Rachel Maddows' ULTRA. It seems we are living the fascism days of 1938-1940 in America. Congressmen and Senators were colluding with Hitler to overthrown our democracy. It is happening! Your peers work for Putin! Can

gtconway3d Good for her

You people are infants

Liz voted with Trump 93% of the time. She repeatedly says that democrats kill babies post birth. You’ll excuse me if I don’t do back flips over her “patriotism”

Dhimbo say what

Now it’s your turn to defend our democracy

gtconway3d The party has already shattered, Liz. Six years ago.

gtconway3d And she’s right. WTD, (what the dickens), GOP liars What kind of candidate is an election denier? The answer is a no-brainer.

gtconway3d Sorry, the Republican party will NOT shatter. It will simply be in its final, stable form, toward which it has been moving since Newt Gingrich.

gtconway3d The Tea Party has officially taken over the Republican party. Took them long enough.

gtconway3d The election deniers take comfort in the lies that Trump was cheated to justify their vote being for the loser.

she's got a lot of anger

lady, the family of a patient in a coma testified the man couldn't have voted lol.

And who, other than democrats and the main stream media, cares about anything Cheney says?

And the DNC owned WaPo loves that!

Liz Cheney is a war mongering neocon who should be facing the international military court for her role in the criminal Iraq war. We don't need her supposed 'wisdom'. She wants to keep the wars going so that her buddies in the Military Industrial Complex keep making billions.

And right she is...

I think Wyoming said just what they think of her opinion.

She is sdoing it to get a lobbying gig afterwards. NO chained has any morals if they did her Daddy wouldn't have lied to US & the world about Iraq WMD and millions dead. And Middle East pretty much destroyed. Don't white wash history WP. You should be better then that!!!!

It is. It’s called treason. Trump wants a dictatorship like his nut buddy Putin.

Liz can have “an” opinion but it doesn’t mean that others can’t have theirs, too. Who made her the one & only authority? This is the United States of America, not China or Russia!!

Voters rejected baseless demands to fund schools in 2020, so if the election was honest then public schools need to stop asking for funding. I don't want to invest in the kids.

Rightly said..the proof of the pudding is in the eating

Rep. Liz Cheney is a patriot and a good honest lady!!

Go away Liz Cheney‼️‼️‼️‼️

Poor crybaby.

Lol Liz Cheney becoming the Dem’s current poster child is hilarious

Cheney the big loser, who is going go out with nothing but a record of losing big time, her political career is done! She proved her Jan 6 performance was all about her political purpose, she lost big time! We call them losers! No one listens to losers!

Like Governor Sweatervest?

Liz Cheney constituents gave the only answer that matters in her Republican Primary: NO 40 percentage point loss to an unknown. She always wanted to be as popular as her Dad and finally succeeded. Cheney lost by almost 3:1 ratio

She has lost her way. That is what TDS will do to you. May not be a way back to reality

No one cares what a Rino Cheney says...good riddance 😴😴😴

Liz cheney bye bye 😂😂😂

I want Liz in.

The democrats refused the election results fir 4 years. And Stacey abrams still hasn’t conceded

And Youngkin ran on being the normal one.

Republicans and Democrats can both agree: Nobody is voting for Liz Cheney for President.

For goodness sake, WaPo, just call a LIE a fucking LIE. This isn't hard, and you are participating in the undermining of American democracy by not doing so.

It’s always interesting to hear The Left refer to “election deniers” regarding the 2020 election but do they forget that from 2016-2020 they kept saying “not my president”? What’s the difference?
