The congresswoman squandered my admiration by trotting out Dick Cheney to save her political patootie.

And as the primary neared she seemed to turn desperate in the face of near-certain defeat and posted that ad. “I think most Republicans know Lynne and I are so proud of Liz for standing up for the truth, doing what's right, honoring her oath to the constitution,” said the liar.

Nobody can rightly blame Liz Cheney for having been the fetal equivalent of a bone spur.

And on Wednesday morning, she told NBC's "Today" show that she is "thinking about" running for president and will make a decision in "the coming months." Cheney was by far the most prominent of the 10 House Republicans to vote in January 2021 for Trump's impeachment.

Several people said they felt Cheney devoted far more time on national issues -- to the detriment of her focusing on energy and natural resource priorities of critical importance to the state.

Wyoming Republicans' reservations about Cheney were first evident in 2016, when she won her House seat after winning just 39% of the vote in the GOP primary against a fractured field. But she was right on the policies," he said. Cheney attempted to assemble a coalition of Democrats, independents and moderate and anti-Trump Republicans -- many of them ideological opponents of the neoconservative congresswoman before the last 19 months -- to save her seat. But the conservative faction has seized control of the state Republican Party and many of its local organizations. Cheney's ouster caps a summer in which Trump has purged the GOP of many of his critics, while elevating candidates -- including Hageman -- who have parroted his lies about widespread election fraud.
