GOP House memberLiz Cheneyhas neither kind nor generous thoughts to spare for former President and fellow party mate Donald Trump.
She has made headlines for being one of the few who fought Trump’s claims about how the election was stolen from him.
And for this she became just one of two GOP members sitting on the House Select Committee investigating the January 9 insurrection (viaCBS).
But just because Cheney is mad at Donald Trump doesn’t mean she’s willing to give President Joe Biden a free pass, either.
During a conversation with CBS' Lesley Stahl, Cheney said matter-of-factly that “Those who think that by ignoring Trump, he will go away, have been proven wrong.
And in my view, the American people, they deserve better than having to choose between what I think are the really disastrous policies of Joe Biden in a whole range of areas, really bad for our economy.
From a national security perspective, what’s happened, what he’s done in Afghanistan: very dangerous policies for the country.”
Liz Cheney has stayed true to her core beliefs as a conservative
Cheney’s voting record reflects her conservative GOP roots too.
She has voted down several Democratic bills since the Biden administration came into office, from the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and the Consumer Protection and Recovery Act, to the American Rescue Plan (viaVote Smart).
She makes a distinction between Biden and the man who held the office of the presidency before him, and still finds Trump wanting because “the alternative cannot be a man who doesn’t believe in the rule of law, and who violated his oath of office” (viaCBS).
