Liz Cheney Reacts to Mike Pence Endorsement Decision

(Newsweek)

“In our nation's 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” Dick Cheney said in the video. “He tried to steal the last election using lies and violence to keep himself in power after the voters had rejected him. He is a coward. A real man wouldn't lie to his supporters. He lost his election, and he lost big. I know it. He knows it, and deep down, I think most Republicans know”

Hint: he’s a vicious violent vandal; outpolled, he hotheadedly intended treason, Capitol riot (he denied the big sin); fake news; hid link into Russian election interference; “Jim Crow” race-baiting; horny deviant adulterer with Stormy Daniels, hushed her; nepotistic dodo hates the truth, loves Putin, Kim, populists like Bolsonaro, Epstein, white supremacists, border wall; war hawk, racketeer, hood; he’s an inane tweeter - MAGA - oh no!
