Rep. Liz Cheney — a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump — has signaled that she may leave the GOP, saying, 'If [Trump] is the nominee, I won't be a Republican.'

Rep. Liz Cheney — a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump — has signaled that she may leave the GOP, saying,"If [Trump] is the nominee, I won't be a Republican."

Cheney also said Saturday that she would be willing to stump for Democrats, the first time she has said so explicitly. The comments were made in response to a question about Wyoming gubernatorial candidate "I am going to do everything I can to make sure that Kari Lake is not elected," Cheney said, to which Smith asked if that meant potentially campaigning for Democrats.

In her concession speech last month, Cheney said,"We must be very clear-eyed about the threat we face and about what is required to defeat it. I have said since that I will do whatever it takes to ensure Donald Trump is never again anywhere near the Oval Office, and I mean it."

RepLizCheney

Well no normal person wants to be associated with insurrectionist and pedophiles.

Good for her. She should run as a democrate.

LIZARD, should go home with her menopause and run for dog catcher, [ sorry dogs 🐕]

May be leaving? Colin Kaepernick maybe retiring from NFL too!

And the crowd goes wild

He'll run your turncoat *** out of the country.

Good Riddance

cbsnews There is a need for a new Conservative Party.

Believe me nobody cares!

Two birds, one stone.

🐖

We never considered her one. Liz has a history of exaggerating her worthiness. The narcissist needs to be put down a notch.

Oh no!!!!!

GREAT !!!! LEAVE NOW!!!!

She hasnt been a Republican for a long time

She already left

That ship sailed a looooong time ago....

Bye, don't need her or want her

The Democrats' Trump Obsession Syndrome looks just a tad bit psychotic to most of the country.

If I can't have my ice cream before supper then I'll go to bed hungry. That'll fix 'em.

RepLizCheney Certainly has bigger cajones than LeaderMcConnell GOPLeader LindseyGrahamSC put together...so when are you 3 stooges going to stand up against donald? ENOUGH! VoteGOPout2022

That's a win

Sorry Sweetie!!! You haven't been part of the GOP for quite some time now.

She left a long time ago..got trounced in primary..should change her name to Rino

She was never a republican!!!!

Nobody considers her a Republican NOW!!!😂😂😂

Liz Cheney has done a great job on J6C, however, I could never vote for her. If she does leave R's, not sure what party she would stay with, but never will she be a democrat.🌊🌊🇺🇸💙🍨

Investigate this CBS

she's on thin ice in the playground we would just be like fine i don't need you but she may be more important with her involvement in JAN 6th Hearings and her role as a major player

We don’t accept you in the party now. You are a Democrat. Embrace it.

No one cares, the sooner the better!!!

She grifting for a hopeful job at MSNBC

Liz is a Conservative.. The Republican party is no longer Conservative..

She can't take a hint, we kicked her large butt out.

RepLizCheney Being a realist is far better than being an idealist living in a fantasy world. You can't be an idealist and have a mind of your own. That's why all MAGA ideologues parrot the exact same things, no mind required, just follow the script.

I thought she already left

She wants fame so bad she is 1 of the main members of the fake Jan 6 committee that wields no true authority or power. It’s all a way to try and hurt republicans in the midterms and subvert democracy by preventing Trump from running. She already said she would do anything 2 🛑it

The GOP needs to remove Trump from the party anyway. He’s just using them as a kind of shield and furthering his own selfish, narcissistic plans.

She is a member of the establishment. Fake republicans and democrats both.They believe the people are ignorant peasants. That we are not smart enough to know what’s best for ourselves. That they are morally superior. Liz’s main goal is to be famous. She craves fame and attention.

She really isn't anyway.

Yes please

She never was a Republican.

Hahahaaa we kicked her out!

Glad to see someone in the GOP with integrity.

Liz you haven’t been a Republican since u joined the Democrat assault on a seated Potus of USA, & joined the Sham Jan 6 hearings. You r comfortable with “no due process” for a citizen of USA. You were chosen by Pelosi not, as is customary, by the majority leader. Hate never wins!

RINO

bye-bye.

You aren’t a republican now 🤣

Why wait? Leave now!!

Move out

Whether she's already switched parties is debatable, but I don't believe Trump will be the Republican nominee in 2024.

She never voted as a republican, always demoRat

The Republican party is nothing more than a legalized terrorist organization of grifting cons. Abolish all political parties. Only weak leaders need one.

Hon you’re a has been no one cares

So she doesn’t care about the people she represents only what she wants.

Traitor, you've never been a Republican.

Like evil monster Dick daddy she’s a tool of deep state where there’s no left and right but interest of the cult,

She’s a traitor to the party. Just leave now and side with the same people that wanted your father in prison.

Well I am shocked to learn of this and frankly the country will be lost without her guidance rotflmao

Next Democratic nominee ?

She won't be a congresswoman either so will anyone care.

And we Republicans are saying - you haven’t been a republican in a long time. She started making too much money and had to start protecting her financial interest.

costareports If gop foresakes democracy by nominating dt, then RepLizCheney will leave the gop. She will work diligently to preserve our democracy in the meantime.

Who gives a fuk

I'm sure Satan appreciates that

costareports Of Women lib

Good!

Ok 👍 good u r not republican anyway 🤡

Liz, don't threaten us with a good time.

Um NEWSFLASH: she’s already not a republic.

costareports She “has *signaled* her intention to leave the GOP”. She appeared on a national news program and announces she will not be a Republican. The signal, at the very least was an SOS, if not a 5 alarm fire. The slow process of the dissolution of the GOP is about to speed up.

We can only hope

She can work for her father’s oil company in Iraq ..

You can't lose a party member you ever had! Especially one that's been replaced with a real Republican.

Go on Liz Cheney.. no need to wait for 'if'. you are welcome to leave anytime now.

Terms are acceptable

Look at the power Trump holds over people . No one has ever dominated the thoughts and actions of so many people before

Liz Cheney is not a Republican, now. She’s a Rino. Good riddance. 🇺🇸

Don’t let the door hit you on your ass on the way out.

I have news for you you aren’t now and we don’t care

She’s not a Republican now.

😂😂😂 The GOP doesn’t want the dishonest treacherous treasonous Backstabbing Pelosi Stooge RepLizCheney WYGOP voters overwhelmingly by nearly 40 pointed kicked her to the gutter. Good riddance to a mentally unbalanced Pelosi Stooge. GOPLeader LeaderMcConnell TuckerCarlson

Sadly, she still thinks there is hope for the so-called Republican party. Unfortunately, there is no chance of the party recovering after Trump. She may want to consider a new party or run as an independent. She wouldn't do well at all as a Dem. She is far too conservative.

Oh no!

She is a RINO. Bye.

costareports Agree with her or not you can take her at her word and these days that says a lot! Integrity Respect

She left gop a long time ago. About to exit Congress. Adios!

Does stuff like Democrats do. Gets a** handed in Republican primary. Iam quitting the Republican Party guys. 😂

How would we be able to tell?

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Lizzie.

Truly sad how sick this woman is. She’s lost sight of everything in her career but her hatred for one man.

She already isn't a Republican in everything but name. So who cares

God please let her go.

Is that a threat or a promise? She may not realize that she’s been retired by the voters.

So?

Oh, I beat her to it when the GOP backed him the first time.

Bye Felicia!

Duh. She's not a republican.

Biotch bye✌️

She is not a Republican now

No one cares about Liz Cheney.

Shouldn't she be out looking for a job?

costareports But she still votes R party line! What is that saying: “live” the sinner ( for J6 cmtee) hate the sin (for voting against rights)…(or something like that 🤷🏻‍♀️).

😂 she no longer identifies as Republican. I wonder what her new preferred personal pronoun is?

costareports Whose going to tell her - the GOP left her. I don’t agree with a lot of her policies, but I admire her standing up for what’s right - something few republicans did when up for reelection.

Scared of some competition, are we?

More than welcome! Good bye

BYE, you already left[ist]

Bye

She’s a RINO

Disgruntled Neo-con.

She's not a republican now.

costareports COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY, THANK YOU, REP CHENEY🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙💙

Good riddance

The democrats love Dick Cheney’s daughter ..

Dude. You lost your primary. You can’t quit. You’re fired.

costareports I thought we kicked her out a long time ago!!

I don't agree with her politics but she can exit with her head held high. She didn't bow down to the pressure and she put her country first over a party that's turned into a sycophantic cult more worried about their seats than our democracy. Too bad courage gets you canceled.

Thank God!

costareports She's already been kicked out of the party

costareports She's not losing much at all. RepLizCheney

Funny, you're not a republican, you are a puppet of the DemocRats. Everyone already knows that. And hey, even the DemocRats wouldn't vote for you to help you keep your seat in Congress...

I hope she takes that position on all possible nominees. She’s out

Justice, Justice no impunity no impunity.

There's a reason there are more registered Independents than Republicans in the country today. More and more people like myself are recognizing what a clown circus the Republican party has become and aren't putting up with it. The party abandoned its principles a long time ago.

costareports Okay Liz, but take as many honest Republicans with you. Your best weapon is the truth, so use it effectively. The one thing MAGAs can’t stand or deal with is the truth. Drown them in it. Expose it all. Maybe someday we’ll have two parties that respect truth, not just the Dems.

Just go now. You are already not a republican

Bye!

costareports There is no republican party anymore, they've allowed themselves to be taken over by the MAGA fascists. Game over.

costareports Put Ginni Thomas on the record under oath. Then I’ll believe good ol’ Liz gives a S*% about the constitution!

costareports Won’t have to worry about that but she should leave anyway

costareports Not a democrat. Not a republican. A secret third thing (a republican).

It's a free country for now

I left the Republican party long ago because of Trump.

costareports I think it’s time for Mr. GOP America and Mrs. Dem America to file for divorce. The marriage counseling hasn’t worked, as GOP was caught cheating with Russia. As a result Dem gets the house, senate and treasury. And GOP will have sole custody of MAGA and will move in with Russia

I couldn’t care less

Most of us who were republicans left a long time ago when trump first became the nominee in 2016 . What took her so long ?

Wow... it is amazing to know that some people prefer a criminal to be the POTUS!!..

costareports I have a Huge issue with the 'If'

costareports Now do DeSantis

She is 1 person. 1 vote. I live in a liberal city. Majority of them now have a Trump bumper sticker on the car. RED WAVE

costareports

Liz Chaney leaving the GOO would be a disaster for the party wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it?

I'm not a Republican, but I doubt they'll miss her.

Hurry up! The sooner, the better.🤪😂

Plot Twist: Cheney was NEVER GOP...only RINO. Covering for her Warmongering Daddy. WMD's are still being discovered.

C’mon over Liz… the water’s fine!!!

The Republican party is long gone.

Good!

If Trump was to be president again it would surely be the end to America . We would become a third world country. Great job republicans . MAR . Make America ruined

... ok

I'm with her.

Too many crazy people who wants a crazy and corrupt president , it's crazy how that is happening in USA.

Not a Trump fan but if this is what it takes...

Bring her WMDs with her

And nobody care at all...

Ok, and how does that affect me?

But you'll still be a warmonger.

At this point, Liz, there aren’t any GOP potential nominees with any integrity. They’re all the same at this point.

Good riddance hasta la bye bye don't let the door hit you in the ass. 👍👍👍

Like anyone cares.. smh.. just go away Liz..

Bye Bye Liz!!

This is news? Really? Or just a bit of political shade for the brainwashed masses?

Wasn’t she kicked out already? And can she just go? Otherwise, Trump will be the nominee just to make sure she is gone.

If Donald Trump is the 2024 nominee, the GOP will no longer be the GOP. It will be the MAGA party.

Could I interest you in another almost identical pro-war, corporatist party, the Democrats?

Liz… Sweetie… you haven’t been a republican for some time.

I’m pretty sure nobody cares no matter your political affiliation

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace, Trump critic, says she’ll back ‘whomever Republicans nominate’ in 2024Rep. Nancy Mace dodged directly answering Sunday whether she would back another run for president by Donald Trump, but the South Carolina Republican ultimately said she would “support whomever Republicans nominate” in 2024. Nancy Mace is a disgrace for SC. How they voted her in again is sickening. Hillary Clinton is a liar... That's the consequence of attaching yourself to a political party. It just leads to you defending garbage policies, learn to view every topic on a case to case basis.
