Establishment Uniparty Deploys Last-Ditch Tactics to Save Liz CheneyUNIPARTY IN MOTION: Establishment Republicans are trying to save Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from defeat in the highly contested August 16 GOP primary by deploying last-ditch tactics to stave off a Trump-endorsed Harriet Hageman victory. I loved her Dad's video. Great to see him again. No. And any R who comes to her defense deserves to go as well. And enough with the “she’s putting country over party” nonsense. Liz cares about Forever Wars, like the rest of the uniparty. Getting rich off our backs and getting countless innocent people murdered is her racket. McCarthy might have publicly endorsed Hageman but privately I wonder what he’s doing. I don’t trust any of them.
