By Mike DeBonis Mike DeBonis Congressional reporter covering the House of Representatives Email Bio Follow May 11 at 9:13 AM Rep. Liz Cheney has spent only six months as a senior House leader, winning rave reviews from fellow Republicans. Now, she’s suddenly facing a dilemma over whether to take her talents to the other side of the Capitol.
Cheney “represents what normal people think of as a statesman, voice and presence for the future of the party,” said Mary Matalin, the veteran GOP consultant and a family confidant. “Liz has that rare policy-political ‘leader gene.’ . . . She could go in any direction.” Still, the outlines of her choice are clear. Staying in the House would maintain a Cheney family tradition — her father represented the state’s at-large district for a decade, rising to minority whip before leaving Congress to serve as defense secretary — and give her an excellent opportunity to someday become the first Republican female speaker.
“She’s terrific, and she’ll make a decision and make an announcement when she feels the time is appropriate,” said Sen. John Barrasso . “We should never presume that national security is not a women’s issue,” Cheney declared to the cameras, with a half-dozen House colleagues and White House counselor Kellyanne Conway beside her. “We aren’t going to only talk about certain issues when it comes to women. We don’t, on our side of the aisle, believe in that.”
Since the GOP has great female candidates. Like a Nicki Haley. Liz is just another.
Ill informed voter nepotism. Sometimes the dad and the daughter are 2 peas....
Liz, war mafia family princess.
Pay wall content? Go stuff your troll tweet WaPo
Liz, Time to retire
She needs to go, no place for her in the position she now holds.
March on Liz, March on,,
OR a 2024 bid for W.H.? I know how much THAT statement BEWILDERS WaPo..
Republicans surely you find a better woman than her!
Liz like most Republicans don’t really know how to talk about socialism or trump.
I remember when she threw her own sister under the bus to win an election. She has no morals, and she should not be in government at all.
She's like 3'11' so she ain't going high
She’s garbage
What has she ever done for the good of our country?
Just what we need more GOP evil in the Senate
GOP first, women second. Pretty difficult dilemma.
No GOP can go higher! They are the low of the Country!
Or how low, straight to hell
Who cares? Here's some real news. The kind your CIA paymasters don't allow as you continue to run your psy op to mindf*** the public. It will be a good day when your ad revenues run to zero.
Sis will bring her down
She, like the majority of the Republican Party, peddles in fear.
Lying Lizzy is another war monger like her old man. Of course none of her kids will ever see the battlefield in the phony war she wants to push us into with Iran but she’ll be glad to send your kid into harm’s way. Daddy taught her that.
Considering her father is a war criminal; I doubt very high...
option three: eat shit
LOL Liz Cheney doesn't belong anywhere in our government. Period.
Oh GOP.
Maybe her daddy should take her bird hunting.
No she goes low. She's the lowest.
seeking to carry on the family tradition of human rights abuses and needless wars that kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians?
She can be president but she cant get an abortion.... hmmm
Cheney “represents what normal people think of as a statesman...” now that’s a laugh.
cunt Cheney
Correction. With the GOP it’s not how high can you go. It’s how low you can take the GOP bar. She has shown she has no limit to how low she will go.
Depends on how much spray paint she can huff at a time I guess. Oh, if you meant politically I have absolutely no idea what the Republican Party is going to do post-Trump. I just know I plan on going to my grave fighting against them for comprehensively failing our country.
What would she be to the GOP without her Darth Vader papa would be the more interesting question.
Hahaha
Well I dont know is having a warcriminal as a father a plus or a negative in US politics?
Has anybody considered the fact that RepLizCheney is one of the nastiness people in Congress? What a pathetic choice to hold office anywhere.
She can leave..
well she definitely seems like she is high while legislating
How is the $250 Million Lawsuit coming and will you be laying off employees when you lose?
