Sigh. Liz Cheney has a book, “Oath and Honor,” implying she stands for them. What a fake is Liz Cheney, self-serving and sure she is the second coming of something. She dishonors selfless service, as her father did, who sent 4,500 young Americans to death in Iraq after his five military deferments to avoid Vietnam.
Now comes Liz Cheney, filled with vim and vinegar, saying Donald Trump is “the orange Jesus” to anyone who thinks his policies were better than Joe Biden’s.
Worse, she condemns virtually every Republican she ever knew, does so with spleen, calling them “cowards” – rather ironic, don’t you think? – and says she was right about January 6th, and everything else. Liz, what about the omitted tapes?
One has to pause and marvel at her audacity, her new book, out in December. She says if the Republican Party comes to its senses, sidesteps Trump, she will – wow! – be the GOP’s nominee. If Trump, by contrast, is nominated, she leaves the Party. Right.
The first time I met young Liz Cheney, she was – as she is now – full of being a vice president’s daughter, full of her mother’s let-me-tell-you attitude, ready to find others wrong, from education to international policy, just about anything.
At that time, back in 2005, I was finishing up a tour as assistant secretary of state for Colin Powell, running his largest operational bureau, airwing of several hundred airframes, law enforcement training and deployment in 70 countries, Iraq and Afghanistan to Colombia and Kosovo. Cheney was a newly minted deputy assistant secretary of state, once worked for Rich Armitage, ready to rule the roost.
Observing her was interesting, as she instantly gave the aura of someone sure she was in the catbird seat, ready to be unquestioned, above the fray. She seemed to think, between her father and Rumsfeld’s plant at State, Rice, she had it made.
While I left soon afterward, having been more a Reagan, Bush 41, Colin Powell guy than a Rice person, the impression left by Liz Cheney lingered. Openness, accountability, authenticity, and other-regarding service do not quickly come to mind in discussing anything she did. She was a climber, simply put.
So, now we have this lovely book, all about how Ms. Cheney, following in her “Iraq Now” father’s footsteps will save the world … from what? From MAGA Republicans, who honor the Constitution, Bill of Rights, a secure border, properly respected police, limited government, strong defense, lower taxes, high growth?
The whole thing looks like what Washington DC “does” all the time, raise a stink, play the martyr or hero, claim the sky is falling, crisis upon us, write a book, muck it up, make a buck, run for president, set up a little worship center in the den. That is surely Ms. Cheney.
Honestly, she is a lot like her father, sure she is right no matter the facts, serving her own interests first. Who with integrity, after all, pledges to screen candidates for vice president, then picks himself. Dick Cheney did. Who claims to be a patriot, then runs away five times from military service in Vietnam?
Who knows Afghanistan is the only target post 9-11, then decides to spend thousands of young American lives on Iraq? Never looks back, never apologizes, never thinks twice about his own cowardice, and frankly does not care?
Let’s call a spade a spade, call a Cheney a Cheney, and be done with it. Some people never learn, do not want to learn. Their mission is themselves, and if they have to take out a president, twist facts to sell a book, claim sainthood, so be it. Sigh. Honestly, what a fake.
Robert Charles is a former Assistant Secretary of State under Colin Powell, former Reagan and Bush 41 White House staffer, attorney, and naval intelligence officer (USNR). He wrote “Narcotics and Terrorism” (2003), “Eagles and Evergreens” (2018), and is National Spokesman for AMAC.
Let’s hope her dad takes her out quail hunting.
She’s a RINO and an embarrassment to the Republican party.
With neocons like Ms Cheney and the like, the republican party will continue to be hampered as being an effective force to combat the Democrat/communists.
As I’m reading these articles, does Ms Cheney really think we’re better off with Biden/Obama then Trump. Trump isn’t perfect, but he’s much less of a threat to this country then the current regime. If she runs as a third party, I wonder who she’ll capture? More Dems than Reps? And Independents? And how did her net worth increase 500% while in office????? What a crook.
Amen. 1000% agree. The apple fell next to the tree trunk with her.
She is the biggest liar and phoney there is and she stands alongside Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Shumer , and the list goes on and on
OMG!!! This is soooo sad. So true and this woman is a crack pot just like dear old dad. Leave a big mess and do your best to get others to believe it!
Many of us know she is a fake.
I must admit that, initially, Liz Cheney appeared to me to be a patriotic conservative. However, when she unashamedly slandered President Trump, I quickly realized that Liz Cheney is all for Liz Cheney. It was not surprising that Liz Cheney was allowed by Pelosi to be on the January 6th Committee. Pelosi picked Cheney, a rabid President Trump hater, to improve the political optics that President Trump had overstepped his role as chief executive of the United States of America. Now, that Cheney is warning us of the extreme danger to our Constitution and country posed by President Trump — there is absolutely no doubt that “Chicken Little” Cheney is totally unhinged. It’s a shame that Cheney is so unhinged that she refuses to challenge Joe Biden, the real existential threat to our Constitutional Republic. Thank you Mr. Charles for being open and honest about the real Liz Cheney.
We already knew that she was right about one thing. Kevin McCarthy is a weasel whose only value was in raising money.
Now that his money raising opportunities have dried up, hasta la vista Kevin.
Wow! Cheney to leave the party, McCarthy is retiring, it’s Christmas every day!
What can you expect from a Republican who goes on Rachel Maddow and gushes?
Reading the comments make me sad… liz cheney and her evil father are treasonous pieces of schiff and they along with many other dc crooks should be shipped off to gitmo to be tried and hanged…
for those of you with an issue with the top five greatest presidents of all time, Commander-in-Chief Donald J Trump, I pity your woefulness and inability to recognize GREATNESS! The only savior of the dying Republic is GENERAL OF THE ARMIES DONALJ TRUMP! MAGAMAGAMAGAMAGA or we will perish!
Been fake day 1
Liz Cheney career in Politics is over and for her book don’t buy that Garbage . Boycott her book .
Sad but o so true ????
RINO all the way! With “Republicans” like this assisting the Democrats we are doomed!
The witch should go hunting with her father!!
WHAT A POS
“What a Fake, Liz Cheney” is more like “What a Traitor, Liz Cheney”! And US citizens were not allowed to see what was going on in Congress, all the lies, some truth. She and Nancy Pelosi are two of a kind, the same kind. How sad! Not to mention AOC was terrified for her life, but failed to state she was not in Congress on that date, another drama queen liar.
It’s a book tour. Let her followers spend their money. The devils demon’s come in many shapes
The fact that she willingly “served” on the fake J6 “committee” says it ALL!
I’m very disappointed in Liz!! She drank the Democrat’s Kool-aid and then became one of them and then she lost her job! She lost her ever loving mind! There seems to be so many RINO’s in the Republican Party and that’s why they can’t get anything done – too much infighting because of the radical right and the RINOS!!
I hope someone sends this story to her. I’ve always said she was a RINO….She should leave the party and join obama/biden and the other kooks. I wouldn’t vote for any of them for even dog catcher.
I voted for Bush (Cheney) twice. To reconcile myself, I will vote for Trump thrice.
Your description of Liz Cheney reminds me of another woman who couldn’t reach the top in politics: Hillary Clinton.
Great article, RBC. I don’t recall you “tearing into” someone this way before, but if anyone deserves it, it’s Liz Cheney. Thanks.
Hypothetical Liz. I am sadly gleeful when we hear how a great book comes out from Hillary or Liz and it fails miserably. People see them for what and who they are even if they don’t.
But she has good hair
Lizzey Cheney took an Axe and gave Trump 40 whacks, when the Job was nicely done, she gave the Republicans 41.
I understand that if you are nice to old Liz, you might be invited to go Bird hunting with her daddy old Dick, and if you are mean, you will be invited to go Bird hunting with old Dick!
Liz is like the mother that thinks her little Johnnie is the only marching band member in step. Open your eyes Liz. You are a backstabbing traitor(just ask your former constituents).
She can leave the party, the country. the plant for all I care. In fact let’s make her the first woman to land on Mars. Cheney and her Rino friends and we won’t forget the Dems. could go there and colonize the planet the only thing we’ll forget to pack is OXAGEN. AAAAHHH to bad sorry about that.
Liz is a LIAR. She has lied so much she believes her lies. One day she will be caught and imprisoned.
Reading this comment section is like reading a cult handbook: a man who has been shown to be a liar throughout each incarnation of his career is the “victim”, while the few republicans willing to risk everything just to point out that the Emperor has no clothes are the “traitors” (who some here say outright should be shot and hung, no less).
Our Democratic Republic is in crisis, and it’s not because of those who are *actually* protecting the Constitution by placing our nation’s interests above any one partisan platform or candidate.
From what I have envisioned her over the years Robert Charles is right on. Hopefully, she will continue to be a loser. She has been and will continue to be one of the most despicable people in American politics today. Her father’s daughter to be sure.
Well written!
Liz Cheney is one of the most despicable people in American politics today. And that’s really saying something. She’s the embodiment of everything we righteously seek to purge from our government. She’s a power obsessed psychopath who has never been in touch with reality in the first place. Liz is definitely her father’s daughter. An unapologetic war criminal who belongs in prison.
She’s a Hilary clone. I see nothing republican or conservative about her.
The only ones that cares about Liz Cheney is the left. And then only as long as she’s doing their dirty work and condemning Trump!
He really pegged her!!
This woman is more than despicable and fake, she is in my opinion a traitor to America and to the oath of office she took as a Representative! She is a liar and a Hippocratic and the people in Wyoming new she was and voted her out in one of worst defeat on record. She has no credibility left and should be ignore in the future. The Republican Party is greatly enhanced with the departure of Liz and all her bad behavior. All I can say now is “Good Reddens”. Go Trump, MAGA!
This is one of the most
phony politicians in Govt
She got trounced in her own state and booted to the curb. Is she really that dumb or does she really believe people care what she thinks or has to say????? I think she really is that dumb.
evil in it’s truest form.
So sad and disgraceful that people like Cheney gain power and are able to go unchecked for long, destructive periods. The American people can see the lie of Jan 6. Free the prisoners!
She is no more than a “Globalist” completely worthless to our republic.
I ignore her and her book!
Couldn’t agree more!
I saw this at Barnes and Noble last night displayed like she’s so important. What a farce.
Dick Cheney made $Billions for the company he “formerly” owned (Halliburton) in reconstruction contracts with the government after pushing for war in Iraq. Liz is even more obviously about her perceived savior image and being in the public eye than her father. But her Jan 6 stance revealed her true feelings about conservatives (like Biden) and where her allegiance lies.
I’m sure her Dad told her to get back in the fight – it’s ‘fight for what’ that is the real truth.
