Liz Cheney says Trump and GOP backers threaten democracyA combative Rep. Liz Cheney lashed out at leaders of her own Republican Party late Tuesday, accusing former President Donald Trump and his GOP supporters of following a path that would “undermine our democracy.” On the eve of a closed-door meeting when House Republicans seem certain to oust her from a leadership post because of her clashes with the former president, Cheney, R-Wyo., took to the House floor to state her case. 'I will not sit back and watch in silence while others lead our party down a path that abandons the rule of law and joins the former president’s crusade to undermine our democracy,” Cheney said. Oh please, go away already. Stop trying to make Loony Liz happen. She’s boring. Cheney is the only impressive aspect in the GOP in the last 50 yrs. And that's pathetic.
